Eaton RBC24V-LCD – 24VDC Replacement UPS Battery Cartridge

Product Overview

The Eaton RBC24V-LCD is a 24VDC replacement battery cartridge engineered for select Tripp Lite by Eaton rack-mount SmartPro and SmartOnline LCD UPS systems. It is built for facilities and IT teams that need to restore backup runtime on rack-mount UPS units deployed in data centers, network closets, and server rooms without replacing the entire UPS chassis. This pre-assembled, plug-in cartridge replaces aging or depleted internal batteries, making it a standard component in UPS battery replacement and preventive maintenance programs for commercial power protection systems. Integrators and facilities managers use the RBC24V-LCD to keep critical network and AV control infrastructure online during utility outages.

Product Description

The RBC24V-LCD is a factory-configured battery cartridge consisting of two 12V 9AH sealed lead-acid batteries wired to deliver 24VDC output, matching the internal battery architecture of compatible Tripp Lite SmartPro and SmartOnline rack-mount UPS models. Because the batteries arrive pre-wired and packaged as a single cartridge, installation is a tool-minimal, hot-swappable process for most supported UPS units, reducing downtime during a battery replacement UPS cycle in a live rack environment. This makes it a practical option for IT and facilities teams managing UPS maintenance across network closets, server rooms, and data center racks where extended runtime and continuous uptime are operational requirements.

Sealed, leakproof construction means the cartridge requires no ongoing maintenance and can be installed in enclosed rack-mount UPS units without ventilation concerns. The unit's 2U form factor and compact footprint fit within standard 19-inch rack enclosures used in commercial network infrastructure deployments. Typical service life for the internal batteries runs 3 to 5 years depending on ambient temperature, discharge cycles, and UPS operating conditions, which is why proactive replacement is a routine line item for facilities managers running scheduled UPS maintenance across multiple racks. The RBC24V-LCD ships with reusable packaging designed to hold the depleted battery cartridge for delivery to a recycling center, supporting compliant end-of-life battery disposal for commercial deployments. Before ordering, confirm compatibility against the exact UPS model and unit quantity, since some UPS chassis require more than one cartridge to restore full rated runtime.

Can this be installed without powering down the UPS?
Most compatible SmartPro and SmartOnline models support hot-swappable battery replacement, but always confirm the procedure in the UPS owner's manual and follow standard electrical safety practices before servicing a rack-mount unit.

What is the expected service life of the replacement battery?
Typical service life is 3 to 5 years, depending on ambient temperature, discharge frequency, and load conditions in the data center, network closet, or server room where the UPS is installed.

What warranty coverage applies?
The RBC24V-LCD carries an 18-month limited warranty in the U.S. and Canada, and a 1-year limited warranty in international markets, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

How should the old battery cartridge be disposed of?
The RBC24V-LCD ships in reusable packaging designed to hold the depleted cartridge for transport to a battery recycling center, supporting compliant disposal of sealed lead-acid batteries.

Does Creation Networks support integration into a larger commercial power protection plan?
Yes. Our team can help facilities managers and integrators plan scheduled UPS battery maintenance across multiple racks as part of a broader commercial-grade power protection strategy.
