Replacement Cartridge for APC SMC1000

The PowerWarehouse APCRBC142-PW is a new sealed lead-acid battery cartridge built to replace APC Battery Cartridge #142 in Smart-UPS SMC1000 series units. It fits the SMC1000, SMC1000-BR, SMC1000C, SMC1000I, SMC1000I-RS, SMC1000IC and SMC1000TW models. Maintenance-free construction means no fluid checks are required.

Drop-in fit restores runtime without rewiring

The cartridge matches the original 5.25" L x 6.50" W x 7.25" H footprint and uses the same connector layout, so installation is a direct swap. No additional cables, mounting brackets or software configuration are supplied or needed. The 18 month warranty covers the replacement unit.

Sealed 13 lb housing handles upright

The leak-proof case weighs 13 lbs and retains the factory terminal orientation, allowing the UPS to sit on a shelf or in a rack without cable strain. Vent positions align with the SMC1000 chassis airflow path. Buyers needing extended runtime beyond a single cartridge or a different voltage platform will need a separate solution.

Questions about this item

How often will the sealed lead-acid cells in the APCRBC142-PW cartridge need replacing?

The maintenance-free sealed lead-acid battery is designed to operate without user service; plan on swapping the cartridge when runtime drops below your UPS requirements, typically every three to five years.

What runtime limit appears first when the SMC1000 runs on this cartridge under continuous load?

Runtime is limited by the sealed lead-acid capacity inside the 5.25" L x 6.50" W x 7.25" H cartridge; the UPS will shut down once the cells reach their depth-of-discharge threshold.

How much heat and noise does the 13 lb cartridge add during all-day UPS operation?

The cartridge itself is passive — no fan or moving parts — so it adds no audible noise and only the normal warmth of sealed lead-acid chemistry during charge or discharge.
