What You Need to Know About RBC132 Batteries

Your uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is vital for keeping your computers, servers, and network equipment safe during unexpected power outages. When the internal battery starts to fail, your expensive equipment is left entirely unprotected. The RBC132 is the reliable power source used in several popular APC Smart-UPS models.

Much like the battery in your truck or car, these sealed lead acid batteries eventually wear out and lose their ability to hold a proper charge. Upgrading your internal battery brings your backup system back to life. Replacing just the dead batteries saves you the heavy cost of buying an entirely new UPS system.

How to Choose Your Replacement

We offer a few different choices depending on your budget and how much hands-on work you want to do. Here is a breakdown of what we offer for the RBC132:

  • Pre-Built Replacement Cartridge: This is the easiest and fastest option. The batteries come completely assembled with the wiring harness already attached. You simply slide the old cartridge out and slide the new one right in.
  • Standard 12V 7Ah Battery Set: This is a four-pack of standard replacement batteries. This option saves you money, but you must keep the plastic tray and wiring harness from your old battery pack. You will disconnect the wires from your dead batteries and attach them to these new ones.
  • Upgraded 12V 9Ah Battery Set: This four-pack also requires you to reuse your old wiring harness and tray. However, these batteries offer higher capacity. They provide longer runtimes during a power outage so you have more time to save your work and shut down your electronics safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a new UPS battery?

A: Your backup unit will typically alert you. Most APC models will turn on a red "replace battery" indicator light on the front panel. You will also likely hear a loud, steady beeping noise warning you that the battery can no longer hold a charge.

Is it hard to reuse my old wiring harness?

A: Not at all. It usually requires basic hand tools like needle-nose pliers to gently slide the metal connectors off the old battery terminals and push them directly onto the new ones. We highly recommend taking a clear picture of the original wiring setup before you disconnect anything.

Will the 9Ah batteries physically fit in my UPS?

A: Yes. The upgraded 12V 9Ah batteries have the exact same physical dimensions as the standard 7Ah batteries. They fit perfectly into your original tray, but they are built to hold a little more power inside.

What if I end up buying the wrong batteries?

A: We want you to be completely confident in your purchase. We offer a 60-day return policy to make sure you get the right fit for your system. If you need help figuring out exactly what you need before you order, please feel free to contact us.
