The APC RBC24-RS is an original replacement battery module for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), specifically designed as a plug-in module for compatible APC UPS systems. The device serves as a replacement battery to restore backup functionality when existing battery modules are worn out or defective. It is black in colour and based on lead-acid technology, known for its reliability and high capacity in stationary UPS applications.

Applications

The APC RBC24-RS is intended for use in stationary UPS systems deployed in server rooms, IT infrastructures, office environments, or industrial settings. The battery ensures continuous power supply to connected devices in the event of a mains failure. The specific UPS models for which this module is designed are listed in the manufacturer's documentation, but are not mentioned in the available sources. Operating conditions are limited to an ambient temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C and relative humidity of 0 to 95 % (non-condensing). For transportation and storage, temperatures from -15 °C to 45 °C are permitted.

Functions and Features in Detail

The module is designed as a plug-in module, meaning it can be inserted and replaced in the corresponding UPS unit without tools. The form factor is compact and fits into the designated slots of UPS devices. Dimensions are 21.6 cm (width) × 34.3 cm (depth) × 8.3 cm (height), with shipping dimensions of 36.8 cm (width) × 49.5 cm (depth) × 15.2 cm (height). The module weighs 11.9 kg, with a shipping weight of 12.6 kg. The black colour matches the standard design of APC UPS systems and enables a uniform visual appearance in data centres or server rooms.

Technology Explained Simply

The lead-acid technology used offers high energy density and is suitable for use in stationary backup power systems. The battery is designed for use in a closed system, where the UPS unit monitors charging and discharging cycles. The operating temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C covers most indoor conditions, while the storage temperature range of -15 °C to 45 °C allows for flexible storage. Relative humidity up to 95 % (non-condensing) during operation is suitable for use in controlled environments such as server rooms. The battery is not intended for outdoor use or in damp, uncontrolled environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The module is designed as a replacement part for APC UPS systems that support the RBC24 module. The exact UPS models for which it is suitable are specified in the manufacturer's documentation, but are not listed in the available sources. It is an original replacement part that offers the same performance and lifespan as the original module.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the plug-in module into the designated slot in the UPS unit. No tools are required. The UPS unit automatically recognises the module, and charging processes are controlled by the system. Installation is typically carried out by qualified personnel familiar with the operation and maintenance of UPS systems.

Operational Advantages

Using the APC RBC24-RS ensures reliable and maintenance-friendly power supply. The plug-in technology enables quick replacement without tools, minimising downtime during maintenance. The 1-year warranty provides security for the investment. The battery is designed for use in controlled indoor environments and delivers stable performance under the specified operating conditions. The black colour integrates visually into existing IT infrastructures.
