Description

APC by Schneider Electric APCRBC157 Lead-Acid Battery Cartridge

Overview

The APC RBC157 is a direct replacement battery cartridge designed to restore the runtime performance of compatible APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. This cartridge utilizes a sealed, non-spillable, lead-acid battery chemistry, providing reliable backup power for critical equipment during outages. It is engineered for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime and ensuring your connected devices remain protected. The APCRBC157 is the correct choice for maintaining the operational integrity of your UPS system when the original battery reaches its end-of-life.

Compatibility

This battery cartridge is specifically designed for use with select APC Smart-UPS 1500VA models, including the SMT1500RM2U and SMT1500RM2UC. Always verify your UPS model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list to ensure proper fitment and function. Using the incorrect battery can lead to system malfunction or failure.

Installation Notes

Installation requires basic tools and adherence to safety procedures for handling batteries. The cartridge is designed for hot-swapping, meaning you can replace it while the UPS is still powered on and protecting equipment, provided the UPS itself is functioning correctly. Ensure the UPS is properly grounded and follow the specific instructions provided in your UPS unit's documentation for battery replacement. Operating temperature range for installation and operation is 32–113 °F (0–45 °C).
