The APC replacement battery RBC55 is an original battery module for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) from manufacturer APC. It serves as a replacement component for the internal battery in selected APC UPS models and ensures continuous power supply during power outages. The module is designed as a lead-acid accumulator, with the technology described as a sealed lead-acid battery, which requires neither fluid loss nor maintenance. The battery has a rated capacity of 816 Wh, corresponding to energy supply at rated voltage and current. The housing color is black, and the dimensions are 142 mm (width) × 183 mm (depth) × 173 mm (height). The module weighs 24.3 kg and is thus a heavy, robust component designed for use in stationary UPS systems.

Applications
The RBC55 is specifically designed for APC UPS models, including SUA2200I, SUA3000I, SUA2200XLI, SUA3000XLI, SMT2200I, SMT3000I, SMT2200IC, SMT3000IC, and SUA48XLBP. In the latter model, the battery is used in a dual configuration. The battery is designed as hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced during UPS operation without shutting down or powering off connected devices. This is particularly important in critical IT environments where power supply interruption must be avoided.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The module is delivered as a pre-assembled replacement module that replaces the entire old battery cartridge. It is equipped with the necessary connections, allowing it to be directly inserted into the UPS housing. The sealed design ensures no acid leakage, increasing operational safety. The battery is designed for a lifespan of three to five years, with actual service life depending on operating conditions such as temperature, charge cycles, and load. The originality of the component ensures 100% compatibility with the specified APC UPS models.

Technology Explained Simply
The used lead-acid technology is an established battery technology, particularly used in UPS systems due to its reliability and cost-efficiency. The sealed design (sealed lead acid) prevents electrolyte leakage and enables maintenance-free operation. The energy capacity of 816 Wh corresponds to a rated voltage of 12 V and a rated capacity of 17 Ah, sufficient for providing backup power during power failures. The weight specification of 24.3 kg indicates that this is a heavy module, requiring careful handling during installation and replacement.

Compatibility and Accessories
The RBC55 is specifically developed for the mentioned APC UPS models. Compatibility is ensured through testing and certification. The battery is designed as a replacement module and replaces the entire old cartridge.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the module into the designated battery compartment of the UPS. Due to the hot-swappable feature, this can be done during operation, with the UPS continuing to secure power supply to connected devices. Installation requires no additional tools or special preparations, as the module is directly inserted into the housing.

Operational Advantages
Using the original APC battery RBC55 ensures optimal performance and reliability of the UPS. The maintenance-free design reduces maintenance effort, and the hot-swappable feature enables seamless replacement without interrupting power supply. The originality of the component ensures safe and compatible integration into the existing system. The battery is suitable for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, and other critical applications where continuous power supply is required.

Warranty
The battery comes with a two-year warranty, underscoring the quality and reliability of the product. Warranty conditions apply under normal operating conditions and are part of the product approval by APC.

Environmental Aspects
The total carbon dioxide footprint of the product is 86.69 kg CO2e, reflecting the environmental impact of the manufacturing and transportation processes. APC also offers an authorized recycling option for battery disposal to minimize environmental impact.
