The APC replacement battery RBC32 is an original replacement battery for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) of the brand APC. As a Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery, it is specifically developed for use in APC UPS systems and provides reliable power supply in the event of a power failure. The battery has been tested and certified for 100% compatibility with the respective APC UPS models to ensure safe and maintenance-free integration. It is delivered fully assembled and ready for use, so it can be directly installed into the existing UPS system without additional mounting or configuration work. The battery's lifespan is three to five years, thereby extending the overall service life of the UPS installation.

Applications

The RBC32 is intended for use in APC UPS systems, particularly in models such as BR800i and BR1000i. These UPS systems protect sensitive IT and network equipment from voltage fluctuations, power outages, and other electrical disturbances. The replacement battery ensures that the UPS can continue to perform its protective function even after prolonged use. The battery is designed for indoor use and is suitable for applications in offices, server rooms, home networks, and other environments where continuous power supply is required.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery features Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) technology, known for its safety, maintenance-free operation, and low tendency to spill. This technology enables safe and reliable power supply without requiring regular maintenance. The battery is designed as a hot-swappable unit, meaning it can be replaced while the UPS is in operation without interrupting the power protection. This is particularly advantageous in critical applications where power interruption is not acceptable.

Technology Explained Simply

The battery has a nominal voltage of 24 V DC and is designed as a spill-proof/maintenance-free unit, meaning it does not cause fluid leakage and requires no maintenance. The VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) ensures the battery is gas-tight and prevents acid from leaking, making it especially safe for indoor use. The battery is designed for operating temperatures from 0 to 40 °C and can operate at relative humidity levels from 0 to 95 %. Storage conditions also allow temperatures between 0 and 40 °C and relative humidity from 0 to 95 %. These specifications ensure stable performance under normal indoor conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories

The RBC32 is specifically developed for APC UPS models, particularly the BR800i and BR1000i models. Compatibility is ensured through testing and certification to guarantee safe and reliable operation. The battery is designed as a replacement part and can be directly installed into the existing UPS system.

Mounting and Installation

The battery is delivered fully assembled and ready for use. Installation is performed by simply inserting it into the corresponding UPS device, with the hot-swappable feature enabling replacement without interrupting power supply. No additional tools or installation instructions are required, as the battery fits directly into the system. Dimensions are 149 mm (width) × 64 mm (depth) × 197 mm (height), and the weight is 5.33 kg, facilitating handling and installation.

Operational Advantages

The APC RBC32 provides reliable and maintenance-free power supply for APC UPS systems. The lifespan of three to five years ensures long-term use, and the hot-swappable feature allows replacement without interrupting operations. The VRLA technology ensures safety and reliability, and compatibility with specific APC models ensures optimal integration into existing systems. The battery is designed for indoor use and is suitable for a wide range of applications where continuous power supply is required.
