APC replacement battery cartridges, coded APCRBC or RBC followed by a number, are the factory battery sets for each UPS model. The cartridge number is tied to the UPS, not to the battery size, so the right code is found from the UPS model rather than from the old battery label.
What this range covers
- APCRBC cartridges for Back-UPS and Smart-UPS families
- APCRBCV cartridges for Smart-UPS On-Line and Easy UPS
- RBC cartridges for older Smart-UPS models
- Battery modules for extended run packs
Typical applications
- Scheduled battery replacement on servers and CCTV racks
- Restoring runtime on a UPS that fails its self-test
- Preparing spares for sites with many UPS units
Key capabilities
- Pre-assembled cartridges with connectors and wiring in place
- Matched to UPS model for hot-swap replacement on listed models
- Sealed lead-acid chemistry in the standard cartridges
- Service life depends on temperature and discharge cycles
Functions vary by model and firmware; see each model page and the official datasheet.
Selection questions
- What is the exact UPS model and serial, usually on the rear label?
- Has the UPS shown a replace-battery indicator or failed a self-test?
- How many units of the same model are on site?

Describe your requirementFrequently asked questions
How do I find which RBC my UPS needs?
Check the UPS model code on its label, then read the cartridge number from the official APC product page or send the UPS model to ISD for confirmation.
How often should UPS batteries be changed?
Sealed lead-acid batteries typically need replacement after a few years, sooner in hot rooms. The UPS self-test and runtime indicate when the time has come.
Can the cartridge be swapped while the UPS is running?
Most Smart-UPS models allow hot-swap replacement; Back-UPS models usually require a shutdown. Follow the procedure in the official user manual.
