Product Description
When your APC Smart-UPS starts showing a "Replace Battery" alert, every minute counts. Your servers, network equipment, and connected devices are only as protected as the battery behind them. A degraded battery isn't protecting anything.

The cartridge slides in while your UPS keeps running, so your equipment never loses power protection during the swap.
Whether you're managing a small server room or safeguarding a home office setup, this is the replacement that brings your UPS back to 100%.
Don't wait for a power event to find out your battery can't handle it. Order the APCRBC133 today and get your UPS back to protecting what matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which APC UPS models is the APCRBC133 compatible with?
A: The APCRBC133 directly replaces the RBC133 battery cartridge and is compatible with the following APC UPS models: SMC2000I-2U, SMC2000I-2URS, SMT1500R2-NMC, SMT1500R2I-6W, SMT1500R2I-AR, SMT1500R2X122, SMT1500R2X180, SMT1500RM2U, SMT1500RM2UNC, SMT1500RM2UTW, SMT1500RMI2U, SMT1500RMI2UNC, and SMT1500RMUS. If you're unsure of your model, check the label on your existing battery cartridge or your UPS user manual for the RBC number.
Will using a third-party replacement battery void my APC UPS warranty?
A: In most cases, no. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2302), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you used a non-OEM replacement part. To deny a warranty claim, APC would need to demonstrate that the replacement part itself directly caused the failure in question. If you have specific concerns about your warranty coverage, we recommend reviewing your warranty documentation or contacting APC directly before purchasing.
Can I install this cartridge while my UPS is still running?
A: Yes. The APCRBC133 uses a hot-swappable design, which means you can replace the battery cartridge without shutting down your UPS. Your connected equipment stays powered throughout the entire swap, so there is no need to schedule maintenance windows or worry about interrupting critical systems.
How long should I expect this battery cartridge to last?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the APCRBC133 is rated for 3 to 5 years. Actual lifespan can vary depending on ambient temperature, how frequently your UPS draws from the battery, and how the UPS manages charge cycles. Most APC Smart-UPS units will alert you with a "Replace Battery" indicator as the cartridge approaches the end of its usable life.
What is included in the box?
A: The APCRBC133 arrives fully assembled and includes all required connectors, a metallic battery tray or enclosure, and an installation guide. The packaging is reusable and designed to serve as a return mailer, making it straightforward to send your old cartridge to a recycling center once the swap is complete.
