Compatible UPS models

The APCRBC116 is a replacement battery cartridge for APC Smart-UPS units. It fits the SMX750 and SMX1000 models, including the SMX750I and SMX1000I variants. The cartridge contains a maintenance-free sealed lead-acid unit with a 48 V output. It weighs 25.65 lbs and ships as a single enclosed module.

Who should buy this

Buyers who need to restore runtime to a compatible Smart-UPS should purchase this cartridge. It is not for users who require a higher voltage battery pack or a different form factor. It does not suit UPS models outside the SMX750 and SMX1000 series. Installation requires no special tools.

Runtime at half and full load

On the SMX750 the cartridge delivers 24 minutes at half load and 12 minutes at full load. On the SMX1000 it provides 20 minutes at half load and 8 minutes at full load. Expected service life is three to five years. These figures determine whether the runtime meets your critical-load requirements.
