Hot-swappable 12 V battery cartridge

The APC RBC57 is a sealed lead-acid replacement cartridge that restores runtime to compatible Smart-UPS units. It arrives fully assembled with all connectors and a recycling guide, so installation requires no special tools. The maintenance-free design uses suspended electrolyte to prevent leaks in any mounting orientation. A hot-swap capability keeps the UPS online while the cartridge is exchanged.

For owners of listed Smart-UPS models needing

This cartridge fits the SURTA1500RMXL, SURTA1500XL, SURTA2000RMXL, SURTA2000XL, SURTA48RMXLBP and SURTA48XLBP without modification. Buyers with other UPS models or external battery packs not listed above should look elsewhere, as the connector layout and voltage will not match. The single-cartridge pack also means installations requiring multiple RBC57 units will need additional cartons.

12 V DC output voltage

The cartridge delivers a nominal 12 V DC, which is the electrical parameter that determines compatibility with the supported UPS chassis. If the target unit specifies a different bus voltage, this cartridge will not function correctly. Expected service life ranges from three to five years under normal operating conditions.
