The APC RBC29-RS is an original UPS battery for uninterruptible power supply systems, specifically developed as a replacement for the OEM battery APC RBC29. It serves as an internal battery unit and is used in UPS devices to ensure continuous power supply for connected equipment during power outages. The battery is designed as a maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery, with the electrolyte suspended, ensuring leak-proof operation. This construction allows for safe use even in vertical or tilted positions, without the risk of fluid leakage.

Applications

The battery is intended for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, network equipment, and other sensitive electronic systems requiring uninterrupted power supply. It is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized UPS systems used in offices, workstations, or small data centers. The operating temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and permissible humidity of 0 to 95 % allow flexible installation in various environments, provided temperature and humidity limits are not exceeded.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The APC RBC29-RS is a lead-acid battery with a sealed housing, requiring no maintenance. The suspended electrolyte ensures the battery will not leak even when tilted or inverted, making it suitable for various mounting configurations. The RoHS marking indicates that the battery complies with the EU directive restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Technology Explained Simply

The technology used is based on a sealed lead-acid battery with suspended electrolyte. Unlike open lead-acid batteries that require regular topping up, this battery is maintenance-free. The electrolyte is fixed in a gel-like state, preventing it from flowing even if the battery is moved or tilted. This increases safety and allows flexible mounting. The battery provides the necessary energy to keep connected devices running during a power outage until main power is restored or the battery is depleted.

Compatibility and Accessories

The APC RBC29-RS is designed as a replacement battery for the original APC RBC29 battery. It is specifically developed for APC UPS systems that use the RBC29 battery. Compatibility is ensured by identical dimensions (width 9.9 cm, depth 7.4 cm, height 11.2 cm) and weight of 1.7 kg. The battery is not intended for other manufacturers or models unless explicitly specified as compatible with the APC RBC29.

Installation and Mounting

The battery is installed directly into the UPS device, following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions for the specific UPS. Installation typically involves removing the old battery and inserting the new one into the designated compartment. Electrical connections are standardized to ensure correct polarity. The shipping dimensions (width 17.8 cm, depth 18.4 cm, height 15.9 cm) and shipping weight of 1.9 kg account for packaging and enable safe storage and shipping.

Operational Advantages

The maintenance-free design reduces maintenance effort and operating costs. Leak-proof construction enhances safety, especially in environments where the battery is not mounted horizontally. The RoHS marking indicates environmental compatibility and compliance with European regulations. The limited one-year warranty provides assurance during use. The battery is designed for indoor use, with operating temperature and humidity within the specified limits.
