Eaton RBC64-1U – Replacement Battery Cartridge for Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton RBC64-1U is a commercial-grade UPS replacement battery cartridge purpose-built for the Tripp Lite SmartPro SMART750RM1U and SMX750RM1U 1U rack-mount UPS systems. It is the recommended solution for restoring backup runtime in network closets, server rooms, and data center racks where these SmartPro units protect switches, servers, and other rack-mount equipment. As a pre-assembled, tool-free cartridge, it simplifies UPS battery replacement for IT and facilities teams managing scheduled power-protection maintenance. This makes it a practical fit for any commercial-grade UPS battery maintenance program supporting rack-mount infrastructure.

Product Description

UPS batteries are a wear item, and a degraded cartridge is one of the most common causes of unplanned runtime loss in rack-mount UPS deployments. The RBC64-1U is engineered as a complete drop-in replacement rather than individual cells: it consists of one pre-assembled 24VDC battery pack built from four 6V 7.2AH sealed lead-acid batteries, matched specifically to the electrical and physical requirements of the SmartPro SMART750RM1U and SMX750RM1U UPS. This factory-matched approach gives integrators and IT managers confirmed compatibility instead of relying on generic aftermarket battery kits that may not fit the UPS chassis or meet its charging profile.

Physically, the cartridge is sized for a 1U rack-mount UPS and requires a minimum 16-inch rack depth, so it installs into standard commercial-grade equipment racks used in network closets and server rooms without modification to the rack or the UPS chassis. The tool-free cartridge design supports hot-swappable battery replacement, which allows a technician to change the battery pack during a maintenance window while keeping the UPS in service, reducing exposure for the network and AV equipment it protects.

Expected battery lifespan is 3 to 5 years depending on UPS operating conditions such as ambient temperature and discharge cycles, which is a useful planning figure for facilities teams building a proactive UPS battery replacement schedule rather than waiting for a failure alarm. Because runtime loss on a rack-mount UPS can affect an entire network closet or server rack at once, keeping a stocked RBC64-1U on hand supports faster mean-time-to-repair for commercial deployments where downtime has a direct operational cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RBC64-1U compatible with any Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS?
No. The RBC64-1U is factory-matched specifically to the SMART750RM1U and SMX750RM1U SmartPro 1U rack-mount UPS models. Confirm your UPS model number before ordering.

Can this battery cartridge be installed without powering down the UPS?
The RBC64-1U uses a tool-free, hot-swappable cartridge design, allowing replacement while the UPS remains in service, though your organization's change-management procedures should still be followed for critical loads.

How much rack space and depth does this UPS battery require?
The host UPS occupies 1U of rack space and requires a minimum 16-inch rack depth. The battery cartridge itself installs into that same UPS chassis.

How long will this replacement battery last?
Expected service life is 3 to 5 years, depending on ambient temperature, discharge frequency, and other UPS operating conditions.

What is the battery chemistry and configuration?
It is a pre-assembled 24VDC pack composed of four 6V 7.2AH sealed lead-acid batteries in a single cartridge.

What warranty coverage applies to this UPS replacement battery?
Eaton/Tripp Lite provides an 18-month warranty in the US and Canada, and a 1-year warranty for international markets including Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Do I need any special tools to install it?
No. The cartridge is designed for tool-free installation directly into the compatible SmartPro UPS chassis.

Is this battery cartridge suitable for data center or network closet deployments?
Yes. It is built for commercial-grade rack-mount UPS systems commonly deployed in data centers, server rooms, and network closets supporting critical IT and network infrastructure.
