Compatible Smart-UPS Models

This replacement cartridge fits APC Smart-UPS units including the SMT1500, SMT1500C, SMT1500US, SUA1500 and SUA1500US. It restores runtime to 1500 VA systems that have reached the end of their original battery life. Buyers who need a different voltage or capacity should verify their exact UPS model before ordering.

Hot-Swappable Installation

The cartridge is hot-swappable, so the UPS can stay online while you slide the old pack out and the new one in. No tools are required beyond a screwdriver for the front cover. The only common issue is forgetting to reseat the connector fully, which leaves the UPS on bypass.

Dimensions And Environment

Check that your UPS chassis accepts a pack measuring 172.7 mm high, 152.4 mm wide and 182.9 mm deep weighing 11.68 kg. The unit operates from 0 to 40 degrees C at up to 95 percent humidity and at elevations up to 3000 metres. Ensure the installation site meets these conditions.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the RBC7 is working correctly after installing it in my Smart-UPS?

The UPS self-test should pass and the replace-battery indicator must stay off; runtime on battery should match the 1500 VA rating for your connected load.

What comes in the box with the RBC7 and is anything else required for installation?

The carton contains one sealed lead-acid cartridge weighing 25.75 lbs; no extra cables or hardware are needed because the unit is hot-swappable.

Which RBC7 version should I choose for an SMT1500 or SUA1500 UPS?

This single RBC7 cartridge fits all listed models including SMT1500, SMT1500C, SMT1500US, SUA1500 and SUA1500US without any capacity alternatives.
