Description

The APC RBC6 is a genuine hot-swappable replacement battery cartridge #6 for compatible APC UPS systems. It uses a sealed, maintenance-free VRLA lead-acid battery rated 12VDC and 11Ah, restoring runtime to a UPS whose original battery has reached end of life. It suits the BP1000I, SMC1500I, SMC1500IC, STM1000I and SMT1000IC.

The suspended-electrolyte, leakproof construction means no topping up or routine battery maintenance. Because the cartridge is hot-swappable, it can be replaced without powering down the connected load. Connectors, an installation guide and a battery recycling guide are supplied with each pack.

Features

- Genuine APC RBC tested and certified for compatibility with the UPS
- Hot-swap installation without powering down the load
- Non-spillable, sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery
- Includes connectors, installation guide and battery recycling guide
