Product Description

The RBC55 is an APC Replacement Battery Cartridge built for the Smart-UPS Line Interactive family. It is a 12V 17Ah lead-acid battery assembly supplied as a complete cartridge that connects to the existing battery interface inside compatible Smart-UPS units. As UPS batteries age, capacity declines, which shortens hold-up time during outages and can trigger replace-battery warnings. Installing a fresh RBC55 restores the system to its rated runtime and returns it to dependable operation. The cartridge ships brand new from a strictly managed warehouse and carries UPS safety certifications. 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 RBC55 is supplied as a 2-year warranty replacement battery pack, giving facilities and IT teams a defined coverage window on the new cartridge. APC also supports authorized recycling of the depleted pack for responsible disposal. For sites maintaining Smart-UPS Line Interactive protection, the RBC55 is a direct way to restore runtime without replacing the entire UPS.
