Eaton RBC48S – Replacement Battery Cartridge for 48V UPS
Product Overview
The Eaton RBC48S is a replacement battery cartridge for 48V UPS systems, purpose-built to restore original runtime performance on select Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline UPS models. It is the standard choice for a 48V SmartOnline UPS battery replacement when internal batteries reach the end of their service life. Preassembled and prewired, it supports fast commercial UPS battery backup installation replacement work in data closets and AV equipment racks without extensive downtime.
Product Description
The RBC48S contains four 12V 9AH sealed lead acid batteries wired together to form a 48VDC battery bank, matched to the requirements of select 48V Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartOnline UPS systems, including the SUINT2200LCD2U. Each cartridge is screened and certified to restore the connected UPS's runtime performance to its original specification, addressing the gradual capacity loss that all VRLA batteries experience after three to five years of service, depending on operating conditions and temperature. The cartridge is leakproof and maintenance-free, and it arrives preassembled and prewired so a technician can swap it into the UPS bay without disassembling individual battery cells or building custom harnesses, which keeps a commercial UPS battery backup installation replacement job efficient in a live data closet or AV rack. Reusable packaging is included to hold the expired battery cartridge for transport to a recycling center, simplifying compliant disposal. Because this is a hot-swap battery cartridge for rack UPS systems designed for online double-conversion architecture, replacement can typically be performed without powering down the equipment the UPS protects, an important consideration for AV racks and network closets that cannot tolerate downtime during a scheduled maintenance window.
