OEM replacement battery RBC7-RS *compatible with RBC7*

When the power fails, your APC UPS must switch to battery instantly—and that battery must hold. The RBC7-RS is the exact replacement cartridge for APC RBC7, built around two 12V sealed lead-acid cells wired in series to deliver 24V and 18Ah. A facilities manager replacing a worn RBC7 in a server room, or an IT technician hot-swapping a cartridge in a network closet, gets the same fit, terminal orientation, and spill-proof VRLA construction as the original. No guesswork, no rewiring.

Key specifications

• Battery type: Sealed lead-acid (SLA), valve regulated (VRLA), maintenance-free
• Nominal voltage: 24V (two 12V cells in series)
• Capacity: 18 Ah
• Terminal type: F2 (Faston Tab 250)
• Rechargeable, hot-swappable, user-replaceable cartridge
• Expected service life: 3–5 years
• Operating temperature range (discharge): -15°C to 50°C
• Self-discharge rate: less than 3% per month at 25°C
• Certifications: CE, RoHS

Why choose it

This is not a generic battery—it is a drop-in cartridge engineered for APC UPS systems that use the RBC7 form factor. The spill-proof, valve-regulated design prevents acid leaks and allows safe installation in any orientation. Low self-discharge keeps the battery ready during long storage, and the F2 terminals ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. Replacing the cartridge restores full runtime and protects connected equipment from unexpected shutdowns.

Ideal use cases

• Server rooms and data closets where APC UPS units protect critical IT loads
• Network infrastructure, including switches, routers, and VoIP systems
• Point-of-sale terminals and security systems requiring continuous power
• Industrial control panels and automation equipment
• Any environment where a hot-swappable, user-replaceable battery cartridge is preferred

Good to know

The RBC7-RS is a complete cartridge assembly: two 12V batteries pre-wired and ready to install. No special tools are needed—just disconnect the old cartridge and slide in the new one. For optimal performance, charge the battery fully before first use and perform a runtime calibration on the UPS. Recycle the old cartridge according to local lead-acid battery regulations.
