The APC replacement battery RBC43 is an original battery replacement cartridge for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) from the manufacturer APC. It serves as a replacement for the battery integrated in the device and is used in various UPS models, including SMT2200RMi2U, SMT3000RMI2U, SUA2200RMI2U, SUA3000RMI2U, SUM1500RMXLI2U, SUM3000RMXLI2U, DLA2200RMI2U, SUM48RMXLBP2U, and DLA3000RMI2U. The cartridge is specifically designed for replacement during ongoing operation, meaning the UPS continues to supply power during the changeover, and connected devices do not go offline. This is particularly important in critical applications where interruption of power supply must be avoided.

Applications
RBC43 is designed for use in uninterruptible power supplies deployed in server rooms, network infrastructures, office environments, or industrial settings. The battery is part of the power supply chain and ensures that connected devices continue to receive power in the event of a mains failure. Compatibility with multiple models makes it a universal replacement part for various APC UPS systems.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The replacement cartridge is designed as a sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA), meaning it neither leaks nor requires maintenance. The VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) technology ensures safe and maintenance-free operation, as the battery does not suffer fluid loss and does not require regular refilling. The cartridge is fully pre-assembled and equipped with necessary connections, allowing it to be directly installed into the UPS device without additional assembly work. The hot-swappable function enables replacement without shutting down the UPS, ensuring operational continuity.

Technology Explained Simply
The battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V DC and a capacity of 480000 mAh, enabling high energy storage. The sealed lead-acid technology (VRLA) is particularly suitable for stationary applications, as it is robust, maintenance-free, and safe. The battery is designed for operating temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C and can be operated in environments with relative humidity from 0 to 95 %. These specifications make it suitable for indoor use, where environmental conditions are controlled. Dimensions are 215.9 mm (width) × 533.4 mm (depth) × 76.2 mm (height), and the weight is 19 kg. The cartridge is thus compact, but due to its weight, careful handling is required during installation.

Compatibility and Accessories
The RBC43 is specifically developed for the mentioned APC UPS models and fully replaces the old battery cartridge. Compatibility is confirmed by the manufacturer. The cartridge is designed as a replacement part and is directly installed into the device.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by removing the old battery cartridge and inserting the new RBC43 into the corresponding compartment of the UPS. Since the cartridge is hot-swappable, the replacement can be carried out without shutting down the UPS. Connections are pre-installed, so no additional connections or tools are required. Installation is therefore simple and does not require special skills.

Operational Advantages
Using the APC RBC43 offers high reliability and safety, as it is an original replacement part. The hot-swappable function enables seamless replacement without connected devices going offline. The VRLA technology ensures maintenance-free operation and minimizes the risk of fluid leakage. The 2-year warranty underscores the quality and reliability of the product. The battery is designed for use in professional environments where continuous power supply is critical.

Warranty
The APC replacement battery RBC43 comes with a 2-year warranty, highlighting the quality and longevity of the product. Warranty conditions apply according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Dimensions and Weight
The cartridge has a width of 215.9 mm, a depth of 533.4 mm, and a height of 76.2 mm. The total weight is 19 kg. These dimensions are designed for the specified UPS models and allow for secure installation in the device.

Operating Conditions
The battery can be operated at temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C and is suitable for relative humidity from 0 to 95 %. These conditions are typical for indoor environments where UPS systems are installed.
