The APC RBC31-RS is an original replacement battery for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), specifically developed as a replacement for the OEM battery APC RBC31. It is a maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery with suspended electrolyte, designed to be leak-proof. This battery is intended for internal use in UPS systems and serves as a replacement for worn-out or defective batteries to ensure continuous power supply to connected devices.

Applications

The battery is designed for use in stationary UPS systems deployed in server rooms, IT infrastructures, office environments, or other critical applications where power interruption must be avoided. The specific dimensions and weight make it compatible with most UPS models that originally use the APC RBC31 battery. The operating temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and permissible humidity of 0 to 95 % allow use in a wide range of indoor environments, provided temperature and humidity limits are not exceeded.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery features maintenance-free technology, meaning no regular maintenance tasks such as electrolyte topping-up are required. The sealed design with suspended electrolyte ensures that the battery does not leak fluid even when tilted or overturned, making it particularly safe for use in IT infrastructures. The RoHS compliance marking confirms that the battery meets requirements for restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Technology Explained Simply

The lead-acid technology used is an established and reliable battery technology, particularly used in UPS systems due to its high energy capacity and long service life. The sealed design enables safe and maintenance-free operation, as the electrolyte is held in a stable gel state. This prevents leakage and reduces the risk of corrosion or spills. The battery is designed for internal use in UPS devices, with exact dimensions (16.5 cm width, 41.9 cm depth, 7 cm height) and weight of 11.2 kg tailored for integration into existing systems.

Compatibility and Accessories

The battery is designed as a direct replacement for the APC RBC31 and can be used in all UPS systems that originally use this battery. Compatibility is ensured by specifying the equivalent OEM battery (APC RBC31).

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by replacing the old battery within the UPS device. The exact dimensions and weight are designed to fit into the designated compartments of the UPS. The shipping dimensions (29.2 cm width, 54.6 cm depth, 19.1 cm height) and shipping weight of 12.7 kg account for packaging and enable safe transportation. Mounting does not require special tools, as the battery is inserted into the designated holders.

Operational Advantages

The maintenance-free and leak-proof design reduces maintenance effort and increases operational safety. The high reliability of lead-acid technology ensures stable power supply during power outages. The one-year warranty provides additional security for the operator. The battery is designed for indoor use, with operating temperature and humidity levels required to remain within the specified limits to ensure optimal performance.
