The APC RBC44-RS is an original replacement battery pack for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), specifically designed as a replacement for the APC RBC44. It is an internal battery unit that integrates into existing UPS systems to maintain their backup function during power outages. The product is black in colour and meets the requirements for industrial replacement batteries with a defined service life and specific operating conditions.

Applications

The APC RBC44-RS is intended for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, network centres, and other critical installations where continuous power supply is required. The battery serves as a replacement for worn-out or exchanged accumulators in existing UPS systems, restoring their performance and reliability. The internal design enables direct integration into the UPS hardware without additional mounting components.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery pack contains a single battery with a capacity of 960 VAh, designed to store electrical energy during power outages. The battery is manufactured using valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) technology, ensuring maintenance-free operation and minimal gas emission during use. The service life is up to 5 years under normal operating conditions, enabling long-term use without frequent replacement intervals. The black colour matches the standard design of APC products and ensures a uniform visual appearance in IT infrastructures.

Technology Explained Simply

The valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) technology is a common battery technology for UPS systems. It prevents electrolyte leakage and enables safe, maintenance-free operation. The capacity of 960 VAh indicates how much energy the battery can store, directly affecting the backup time during power outages. The operating temperature range of 0 to 40 °C and relative humidity of 0 to 95 % during operation indicate that the battery is designed for indoor use, where environmental conditions are controlled. Storage is possible at temperatures from -15 to 45 °C and the same humidity level, allowing flexible on-site or stock storage.

Compatibility and Accessories

The APC RBC44-RS is designed as a direct replacement for the APC RBC44 and is used in UPS systems that support this battery type. Compatibility is limited to the specific model series, with the internal design ensuring direct interchangeability.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by replacing the old battery unit inside the UPS enclosure. The internal design requires no additional mounting aids or tools, as the battery is directly inserted into the designated compartment. The dimensions of 197 mm width, 122 mm height, and 597 mm depth fit exactly into the designated compartments of compatible UPS models. The weight is 34.6 kg, which must be considered during handling and installation.

Operational Advantages

Using the APC RBC44-RS ensures reliable and maintenance-free power supply during network voltage failure. The 5-year service life reduces the frequency of replacement procedures and minimises maintenance effort. The RoHS certification confirms compliance with European environmental regulations, which is relevant for use in EU regions. The battery is designed for use in controlled indoor environments, with operating conditions enabling safe and stable performance under normal office and server room conditions.
