Eaton RBC96-3U – 3U 72VDC UPS Replacement Battery
Product Overview
The Eaton RBC96-3U is a 72VDC UPS replacement battery cartridge designed to restore full backup runtime to compatible 3U rackmount UPS systems used in commercial AV racks and data closets. This UPS replacement battery cartridge is the correct choice when a rack-mounted UPS begins showing reduced runtime or battery alarm warnings due to expired or weakened internal batteries. It ships pre-assembled and ready to install, making it a practical option for 3U rackmount UPS battery pack replacement during scheduled maintenance. Facilities teams performing commercial UPS battery backup installation on legacy Tripp Lite UPS systems rely on this cartridge to maintain original equipment specifications.
Product Description
Every RBC96-3U cartridge is factory-screened and certified to meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications, giving AV integrators and IT facilities managers confidence that replacement runtime performance will match the original battery pack. The cartridge is built around six pre-assembled 12V batteries wired to deliver 72VDC output, matching the battery architecture used in select Tripp Lite 3U rackmount UPS systems deployed in server rooms, broadcast racks, and commercial AV equipment rooms. Quick-connect terminals simplify the swap, reducing downtime during a rack UPS battery replacement in an active commercial environment. The unit's reusable packaging is designed to hold the expired battery cartridge for proper recycling center delivery, which matters for organizations managing lead-acid battery disposal compliance. This replacement battery cartridge is compatible with SU3000RTXL3U, SU3000RTXR3U, and SU3000XL UPS models equipped with pre-assembled six-battery cartridges; installations using non-assembled battery configurations require a different compatibility listing. Because rack-mounted UPS systems in commercial AV and data closet environments are frequently relied upon to bridge power during brief outages for switches, DSPs, and control processors, keeping battery capacity at full original spec is critical to protecting connected AV and networking equipment.
