Eaton RBC24-SUTWR – Replacement Battery Cartridge for SmartOnline Tower UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton RBC24-SUTWR is a factory-matched UPS replacement battery cartridge engineered for select Tripp Lite SmartOnline tower UPS systems used in data center, network closet, and server room deployments. Designed as a direct drop-in replacement, this battery cartridge restores backup runtime on aging SmartOnline UPS units without requiring a full UPS replacement. Facilities and IT teams performing UPS battery maintenance or planned UPS lifecycle replacement rely on this cartridge to keep critical infrastructure protected during a power event. It ships pre-assembled and pre-wired for straightforward installation in rack-mount or tower UPS enclosures.

Product Description

UPS batteries degrade over time, and a failing battery cartridge is one of the most common causes of unexpected runtime loss in commercial UPS installations. The RBC24-SUTWR addresses this directly: it is a certified premium replacement battery pack built to the same fit, form, and electrical specification as the original cartridge shipped in select Tripp Lite SmartOnline tower UPS models. The cartridge consists of two 12V batteries pre-assembled into a single 24V pack, so there is no cell matching or manual wiring required during installation — technicians simply swap the old cartridge for the new one.

This replacement cartridge is built for commercial-grade reliability: leakproof, rugged construction and a wide operating temperature range make it suitable for network closets, server rooms, and data center environments where ambient conditions vary. Because it is maintenance-free, there is no need for periodic watering or cell-level servicing after installation. For IT/facilities managers scheduling preventive maintenance, replacing the UPS battery cartridge on a 3-5 year cycle helps avoid unplanned downtime and protects the connected network, server, and AV infrastructure the UPS is designed to back up. The RBC24-SUTWR is backed by an 18-month limited warranty and is RoHS compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RBC24-SUTWR compatible with my UPS?
The RBC24-SUTWR is designed for select Tripp Lite SmartOnline tower UPS models. Confirm your UPS model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list before ordering, or contact our team to verify fit.

Can our IT team install this cartridge, or do we need an electrician?
The cartridge is pre-assembled and pre-wired, so most facilities and IT staff can complete the swap without an electrician. Always power down and disconnect the UPS from utility power before servicing.

Does replacing the battery cartridge require reconfiguring the UPS?
No. The RBC24-SUTWR is a direct-fit replacement, so the UPS retains its existing configuration, network card settings, and connected load management once the new cartridge is installed.

What is the expected service life of this battery cartridge?
Typical UPS battery cartridges provide 3-5 years of service life depending on ambient temperature and discharge cycles. Higher ambient temperatures in network closets or unconditioned spaces can shorten service life.

What warranty comes with the RBC24-SUTWR?
It carries an 18-month limited warranty in the U.S. and Canada.

Do you support bulk orders for multi-site UPS maintenance programs?
Yes, Creation Networks supports volume orders for integrators and facilities teams managing UPS battery replacement across multiple sites. Contact us for procurement support.

How do we dispose of the old battery cartridge?
Lead-acid UPS batteries must be recycled through a certified battery recycling program, not disposed of in general waste. Most battery suppliers and recyclers accept core returns.
