APC RBC43 Replacement Battery Cartridge

The APC RBC43 is a genuine replacement battery cartridge designed to restore original runtime to compatible Smart-UPS rack-mount units. It serves IT administrators and facilities teams who need a certified, user-replaceable power source for critical network infrastructure.

Operating Temperature Range 0 to 40 Celsius

The cartridge operates between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius and can be stored from minus 15 to 45 degrees Celsius. As a sealed lead-acid pack it produces no audible fan noise and draws no power while on standby, leaving the UPS cooling and load profile unchanged.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RBC43 cartridge and what step is often missed?

The RBC43 is user-replaceable and hot-swappable. Slide the cartridge into the UPS until it clicks, then verify the front-panel battery status LED turns green before closing the bezel.

What maintenance or replacement will the RBC43 need later?

The sealed lead-acid cells typically last three to five years. When runtime drops below 50 % of original, order a new RBC43 and return the old pack using the supplied recycling box and prepaid label.

What thermal limit appears first during sustained load?

The pack is rated for 0 – 40 °C operating and –15 – 45 °C storage. Continuous discharge above 40 °C triggers UPS overtemperature shutdown before the battery itself reaches its 45 °C storage ceiling.
