This APC UPS replacement battery delivers 24V 9Ah of sealed lead-acid capacity and is built as a direct cartridge replacement for aging or failed cells.

Product Description

The APCRBC133 is an APC Replacement Battery Cartridge engineered for the Smart-UPS Line Interactive family. It is a 24V 9Ah lead-acid battery assembly supplied as a single drop-in cartridge that mates with the existing battery connector inside compatible Smart-UPS units. Over time, the cells in any UPS lose capacity, which shortens hold-up time during outages and can trigger replace-battery warnings. Installing a fresh APCRBC133 restores the UPS to its rated runtime and returns the system to dependable operation. The cartridge ships as a brand new, leak-proof sealed lead-acid battery that is fully assembled and ready for use. As a genuine APC RBC, it is tested and certified for compatibility so the host UPS continues to charge, discharge, and report battery status correctly. The cartridge is designed as a user-replaceable part, allowing on-site staff to swap the battery without returning the UPS to service. APC also supports authorized recycling of the depleted cartridge for responsible disposal. This makes the APCRBC133 a straightforward way to extend the service life of an existing Smart-UPS rather than replacing the entire unit.
