The APC RBC25-RS is an original replacement battery module for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), specifically designed as a direct replacement for the APC RBC25. It is a sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA technology), designed for use in internal UPS systems. The battery serves as a replacement for worn-out or defective battery modules to maintain the functionality of UPS devices and ensure power supply during grid outages. The VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) technology enables maintenance-free operation, as the battery is sealed and does not require regular electrolyte replenishment. The battery is suitable for use in stationary IT infrastructures, server rooms, or with critical equipment where reliable power supply is essential.

Applications

The APC RBC25-RS is primarily intended for use in Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), particularly in models that use the original battery module RBC25. It replaces the worn-out battery within the UPS to restore the backup function. The battery is designed for indoor use and is installed in enclosed device housings. The dimensions of 264 mm width, 152 mm depth, and 102 mm height fit exactly into the designated compartments of compatible UPS models. The weight of 10.4 kg should be considered for transportation and installation, especially when installing in elevated or hard-to-reach positions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The battery features sealed lead-acid technology (VRLA), ensuring safe and maintenance-free operation. The sealing prevents electrolyte leakage and reduces the risk of gas emission, enhancing operational safety. The battery is designed as a replacement module and is directly inserted into the UPS device, with electrical connections already integrated. The packaging has dimensions of 267 mm width, 194 mm height, and 375 mm depth, facilitating transportation and storage. The package weight is 11.8 kg, accounting for packaging materials and the battery itself.

Technology Explained Simply

The VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) used is an advancement of the classic lead-acid battery. The battery is sealed, preventing electrolyte from escaping. A valve regulation system ensures that gas is vented under overpressure without any liquid escaping. This makes the battery particularly suitable for use in enclosed spaces, such as server rooms or IT infrastructures. The battery provides the necessary energy to keep connected devices running during a power outage until the backup power system is activated or the grid connection is restored.

Compatibility and Accessories

The APC RBC25-RS is designed as a direct replacement for the original APC RBC25 battery. It is compatible with UPS models that use the RBC25 battery. Exact compatibility depends on the specific UPS model series, with dimensions and electrical connections matching precisely. The battery is not intended for use in other devices or systems not specifically designed for the RBC25-RS. Using it in other systems may cause damage or malfunctions.

Installation and Mounting

Installation involves removing the old battery module from the UPS and inserting the new APC RBC25-RS. The battery is slid into the designated compartment, with electrical connections automatically engaging. The installation requires no additional tools or modifications to the UPS device. The weight of 10.4 kg should be considered during handling, especially when installing in elevated positions. The packaging is reusable and facilitates transportation.

Operational Advantages

Using the APC RBC25-RS provides a reliable and maintenance-free replacement solution for worn-out UPS batteries. The VRLA technology ensures safe and long-lasting operation without requiring regular maintenance. The exact fit and compatibility with the original RBC25 module ensure seamless installation and immediate functionality. The battery supports continuous power supply for critical equipment and protects against data loss or operational interruptions during power failures. The limited warranty of one year provides additional operational security.
