The APC replacement battery RBC7 is an original replacement module for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) from manufacturer APC. It serves as a direct replacement for worn-out or exchanged battery units in compatible UPS systems and ensures continuous power supply for critical devices. The battery is designed using Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) technology, enabling maintenance-free and leak-proof operation. The voltage is 24 V, which is standard for most APC UPS models in the medium and higher power range.

Applications

The RBC7 is specifically designed for use in APC UPS systems deployed in office, server, or network environments. It is used in models such as SMT1500I, SMT1500IC, DLA1500I, SU1000XLI, SU1400RMI2U, SU1400I, SUA1500I, and SUA750XLI. The battery is designed for operation in environments with an operating temperature of 0 to 40 °C and a relative humidity of 0 to 95 %, making it suitable for indoor use in typical IT infrastructures.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The battery is delivered as a pre-configured module that replaces the entire old battery cartridge. It features integrated connectors, enabling direct installation without additional wiring. A key advantage is the hot-swap functionality, which allows the battery to be replaced while the UPS is running, without shutting down the UPS or connected devices. This is particularly important in environments where power interruption is not acceptable.

Technology Explained Simply

The used Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) technology ensures that the electrolyte inside the battery is suspended and cannot leak. This makes the battery safe to handle and suitable for vertical mounting. The voltage of 24 V is standard for most APC UPS models in the medium power range. The battery is designed for a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, with actual service life depending on operating conditions and charge cycles.

Compatibility and Accessories

The RBC7 is specifically developed and certified for the mentioned APC UPS models. Compatibility has been tested at 100 % to ensure safe and reliable operation. The battery is not suitable for other manufacturers or models. Using original replacement batteries ensures optimal performance and safety of the UPS.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the battery into the designated slot within the UPS. The hot-swap function enables replacement without disconnecting the load. The battery is pre-equipped with necessary connectors, so no additional connections are required. Mounting typically requires no tools, with exact procedures following the specific UPS model.

Operational Advantages

Using the APC RBC7 provides reliable power supply for critical IT systems. The hot-swap function minimizes downtime, while the maintenance-free VRLA technology reduces maintenance effort. The battery is designed for long service life and ensures stable performance over several years. Compatibility with specific APC models guarantees optimal integration into existing infrastructures.

Dimensions and Weight

The battery has dimensions of 152.4 mm (width) x 182.9 mm (depth) x 172.7 mm (height) and weighs 11.7 kg. These dimensions fit exactly into the designated compartments of compatible UPS models. The robust construction ensures secure mounting and stable operation.

Warranty

The original APC replacement battery RBC7 comes with a warranty handled directly by the manufacturer. The exact warranty period is documented in the product master data and corresponds to the manufacturer's specifications.
