Direct UPS Replacement

The Tripp Lite RBC2A is a pre-assembled battery cartridge designed to restore original runtime to compatible uninterruptible power supplies. It fits a wide range of APC Back-UPS and Smart-UPS models including the BK200, BK300, BK500M and SU420NE series. The cartridge arrives ready to install without additional wiring or configuration. Maintenance-free operation suits home offices and small business environments.

Sealed Maintenance-Free Design

Rugged leakproof construction contains the electrolyte and allows operation across a wide temperature range without venting concerns. OEM-certified premium cells deliver up to 30% longer runtime than basic replacements under equivalent loads. The sealed format eliminates watering or periodic checks during its service life. Dimensions of 6 x 7.5 x 12 inches and 5.5 lbs weight match the original cartridge footprint.

Extended System Longevity

Replacing only the battery extends the operating life of older UPS chassis that otherwise function correctly. Restored runtime protects connected equipment through typical outage durations without purchasing a new unit. Pre-assembled packaging reduces installation time to a simple swap. Buyers needing higher VA capacity or network management features must select a different UPS platform.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RBC2A cartridge and which step do people often miss?

Slide the cartridge into the UPS battery compartment until it locks, then reconnect the two spade terminals to the matching red and black leads; the step most often missed is pushing the connector tabs fully home so they click.

What maintenance or replacement will the RBC2A need later?

The sealed lead-acid cells are maintenance-free; plan to replace the whole cartridge again in three to five years when runtime drops below your critical load requirement.

What limit appears first when the RBC2A runs under sustained load?

The 5.5 lb sealed pack delivers its rated capacity until cell voltage drops to the UPS low-battery cutoff, at which point the unit shuts down to protect the batteries.
