Drop-in UPS battery cartridge 157

The PowerWarehouse APCRBC157-PW is a sealed lead-acid replacement cartridge built for APC Smart-UPS rack-mount units including the SMT1000RM2UC, SMT1000RMI2UC, SMC1500-2U, SMC1500-2UTW and SMC1500I-2U. It arrives new and ready to install without tools.

Replaces original APCRBC157 and RBC157 cartridges

This cartridge directly substitutes the factory Battery Cartridge #157 used in the listed 1000 VA and 1500 VA 2U models. The swap is worthwhile when runtime has fallen below acceptable levels or when the UPS reports a battery fault.

Maintenance-free sealed cells under continuous float

The leak-proof design is rated for an 18 month warranty period while the UPS maintains a constant float charge. At 24.8 lbs the cartridge sits securely in the 13.50" L x 8.50" W x 3.25" H bay during extended backup events.
