Product Description
When your APC Smart-UPS starts throwing low battery warnings, downtime is the last thing you can afford. The APC RBC12 Replacement Battery Cartridge from Battery Mart is a direct, fully assembled drop-in that restores full backup power to your APC UPS, without the hassle of sourcing individual batteries or building a pack from scratch.
Built for High-Capacity APC Smart-UPS Systems
The RBC12 cartridge is designed for APC Smart-UPS systems in the 2,200VA to 5,000VA range, covering popular rackmount and tower models across the SU2200, SU3000, and SU5000 series. Whether you're protecting critical servers, networking gear, or sensitive office equipment, this cartridge is built for the systems that keep your operations running.
Stop a Small Problem Before It Becomes a Big One
Every sealed lead acid UPS battery gradually loses capacity over time. Runtime gets shorter, low-battery alarms become more frequent, and eventually the system can't provide adequate backup during an outage or power event. Catching the warning signs early saves you from an expensive, unplanned shutdown.
Replacing the cartridge is far more cost-effective than replacing the entire UPS, and it restores the system to like-new backup performance. That's a smart investment in the equipment and data you rely on every day.
A Straightforward Swap, Not a Project
You don't need to be an IT specialist for this job. Everything needed for the swap arrives in the box, already wired and ready to connect. Slide out the old cartridge, connect the new one, and you're back up and running, often in under 15 minutes. No tools required, no rewiring, no mysteries.
Please note: Some APC SU5000 series models require two RBC12 cartridges. Review your UPS documentation or the cross-reference list on this page to confirm the quantity needed before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which APC UPS models is this battery cartridge compatible with?
A: This cartridge is compatible with a wide range of APC Smart-UPS systems, including models in the SU2200, SU3000, and SU5000 series. A full cross-reference list is available on this page. If you own an SU5000 series unit, check your owner's manual before ordering — several models in that lineup require two RBC12 cartridges to operate correctly.
Does installing this cartridge require any tools or special expertise?
A: No tools or special expertise are required. This cartridge ships fully assembled with all wiring and connectors already attached. Remove the old cartridge from your UPS, connect the new one using the included harness, and your system is ready to use. Most customers complete the swap in 15 minutes or less.
Will using a third-party replacement battery void my APC UPS warranty?
A: This is a common concern, and it's worth knowing your rights. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act — a federal consumer protection law enforced by the FTC — a manufacturer generally cannot void your warranty solely because you used a third-party replacement part. To deny a warranty claim, the manufacturer would need to demonstrate that the third-party part directly caused the problem in question. If your APC UPS is still under its original warranty, APC cannot automatically void that coverage just because you installed a replacement battery cartridge from another source.
How do I know when my RBC12 battery cartridge needs to be replaced?
A: Sealed lead acid batteries used in UPS applications typically last 3 to 5 years under normal operating conditions. Common signs that your RBC12 is due for replacement include significantly shorter runtime during power outages, recurring low-battery alarms, or your UPS failing to hold a charge after being connected to power for an extended period. Many APC Smart-UPS units will also display a battery fault indicator on their front panel when the battery has degraded past a usable threshold.
