RBC2 only works with APC UPS Models BK250B, BK280B, BK300C, BK500MC, BK500US, PCPER, BK350, BK500, BK500BLK, BE500R, BE500U, BH500NET, BP500CLR, BP500UC, BP280, BP280C, BP240PNP, BP420S, BP500U, BR500, BK650MC, BR500, BX900R, SU420NET, SUVS420, SC420.

Over time UPS batteries wear out. This leads to a loss of power capacity and runtime. Here are four reasons why you should only use genuine APC RBCs in your APC UPS:



Use of a non-APC battery will void APC's Equipment Protection Policy



APC recycles used batteries and almost 100% of the battery lead content is reused, protecting the environment. With each purchase of a genuine APC replacement battery, you get free freight back to APC for proper disposal of your old batteries (currently available in USA only.)



APC provides a 1-year warranty on each Replacement Battery Cartridge.



APC supplies the appropriate instructions for your UPS, along with any needed wires and connectors. All connections are made with high current gas-tight crimps for high reliability.

APC RBC2 Replacement Battery Cartridge is rated 4.50 out of 5 by 152.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from RBC2 batteries don't last Specs say "Expected Battery Life (years) 3 - 5"... my last two RBC2 only lasted 18 & 14 months respectively. Noticed warranty is only 12 months. Guess the warrantly people know more about this battery than the marketing/spec people do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from USER FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS I've been using APC batteries for about 15 years or longer and I wouldn't use any other make. The service is excellent, the batteries last quite a long time and I've never lost a TV, Set Top Box, printer, VCR, TiVo or computer for any reason. Living in FL we certainly have our share of storms and APC BackUps have never let me or my family down. We have 5 APC's currently working and I highly recommend it for safety on anything you want to protect. I also used them when I used to work in an office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor life Lifetime is rated 3-5 years. I got 2.5 on a computer I use pretty infrequently. I paid more for the APC one, thinking it would be better than buying a cheaper on over the internet. Not so sure now...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery Replacement The battery replacement goes smoothly, except the pull tab can sometimes tear off making the old battery difficult to remove. Had to us a regular screwdriver to pull it out sufficiently to grab it and extricate it from the housing. Battery only lasted 2-1/2 years without much use so I am suspicious of the longevity of 3-5 years life expectancy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pricey Although the APC products and handling of orders are superb, I share the experiences of those who are critical of battery life. However, my main complaint is with battery price. Since replacing my battery, I found that I could have replaced my entire ESU 550 with a new higher capacity (650 VA) APC unit for less than I was charged for the battery alone. My advice to anyone needing a replacement battery is to first check your local big box stores for a new unit - you'll be surprised by the savings!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Replacement We were going to throw away the old UPS, when a library guy told me about battery replacement. APC's website made it easy to find the right one, the shipping was fast, and we have a "like new" UPS for less than half the cost of a new one. Installation is very easy -- just a screwdriver is needed. Highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Service, 1 Product Hiccup This is my 3rd battery and I have been thoroughly impressed with the product, service and speed of deliver. The second battery I purchased, however, had a VERY short life span (less than a year); whereas my first lasted multiple years. We'll see if it was a faulty product or the new norm...pending the performance of my third.

But as for the product, I am very satisfied! Customer service was friendly & apologetic that they were not able to give me the discount. It never hurts to ask, though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easiest way to be Green. The battery wasn't for our location so it was drop shipped to the correct office. The installer had no experience with a UPS battery replacement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great product I bought my ups serveral years ago, (a back-up CS 350) and have not had any problem with it at all. It performs exactly as it's supposed to, filtering out electrial spikes and providing temporary power. ( I live in an area where we have major thunder storms and power outages every winter) All I have to do is replace the battery every few years,(about 2-3 yrs) which is prety easy. It is completly sealed, so there is no problem with spilling acid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It does the job. The replacement battery works. The recycling return label is a nice touch, no old battery hanging around the office. It would be nice if the software for the Backup CS 500 knew when the battery was replaced. The replacement still reports as an "old" battery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Replacement but short survival time The APC Replacement Battery Cartridge #2 is easy to order. Delivery is quick. Connection wire is too short so it is not easy to put back in. I have yet to see this battery make it to 3 years like it says. I wish there was a way to prolong the battery life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replacement Battery I only gave it 4 Stars that I must have missed checking off a return of the battery for recycling. Now I have a box and a battery that I have to find a way to recycle. So I would suggest that a check box for return should be the first thing on the form you fill out and in bold text so that someone like me can miss it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid product. Works like new! The whole process to purchase was so easy and the product works fantastic. I take the old battery to Best Buy to re-cycle. The only suggestion I would make to improve the whole process would be to have a system set up to allow returns of used batteries directly to APC. This would probably get a lot more people to think green and recycle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Pleased We have had our APC for over 10 years and it has worked perfectly for those years. The battery usually last us 4-5 years. We have several printers, telephones modems connected to this one and has not let us down. As far as I am concerned a great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well but I wish... There is no question that the replacement battery cartridge works. It does! I wish that the connector clips were easier to disconnect. One was very stubborn to disconnect. Having the packaging include the return of the old battery is great. I considered upgrading to a new UPS, but the web site function to figure out which is appropriate is not easy. APC could have software that would check my configuration, recommend replacements, and tell me how much extra capacity each option would provide. Since I could not figure that out, I simply bought another replacement. You can't go wrong with that choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from APC replacement battery I have used APC Back-Ups products for about 15 years. They have been reliable and have protected my computers on several occasions. I like having the replaceable battery as I don't have to keep buying new Back-Ups units when the batteries finally are exhausted. I wouldn't even consider having a computer without a Back-Ups unit to protect it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Old Batteries Unlikely that I speak for everyone, but the cost of APC units compared to others is semi-premium. Those of us who buy are obviously more interested in quality than price. Therefore, I would beg you to go back to the way it used to be, with each replacement battery including a return shipping label to recycle the old. I would happily pay a bit more for the battery, ($5-7 should cover it), to eliminate the hassle of needing to find a recycler locally. As we speak, I am staring at a box with nine dead APC batteries that I have nowhere to dispose of.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Improve Instuctions I am a home user with a technical background. Despite that background, it took me much longer to install than I consider reasonable. The causes: It is not clear at all that the hard, clear plastic shipping protectors on the terminals must be removed before installation! They are of such high quality that they look like permanent parts of the terminals. Combined with an overly short Red wire in my UPS unit, this had me going for some time. A small insert in the package saying that they must be removed would be very helpful. The instructions actually included have no indication that this is the first step. A separate issue is that this is the second replacement in 3 years for this unit - which actually has a very low load connected to it. My other APC unit, smaller, older, much more heavily loaded has not required a replacement batter in about 5 years ... hmmm.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not a happy camper The order processing and delivery of the RBC2 were great. But there the positives end. After giving the APC and new battery time to charge itself, the beeping on the APC has not stopped. My entire battery back-up system is unuseable beause of the noise. I must add that I have had no problems with previous purchases. Now my business data integrity is compromised because of this problem. I am not happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Painless Process I had an APC battery go bad after years of use in my home office. The web site and the ordering process for the correct replacement battery could not have been easier. Make sure you fill out the return label form on their site so that a UPS return authorization label will be sent with the old battery for easy disposal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from APC Battery APC batteries fit perfectly into their UPS. Ordering and delivery were easy and fast. Past experience with APC batteries show they last at least as long as other major brand names (Panasonic, YUASA, etc.). I only wish that APC still accepted batteries back for recycling. They used to include return shipping for that purpose. I'm sure they found it too expensive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Short lifespan Have gone through many, many of these replacement batteries, as I own 3 APC BackUPS Pro 500 UPS units. I have found these batteries to have a short lifespan -- about 2 years. Further, the low battery warnings on these UPS's do not reliably signal the end of life. I have had batteries that were being reported as OK suddenly drop the load on a power-out condition before my software could shut down my equipment. The positive about this product is that it comes with a prepaid return label to send the dead battery to recycling. But, frankly, for the price, I expect that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replacement Battery doesn’t work After a troublefree experience with APC backup battery plug in, the battery appeared to quit and I ordered a new one. Since 3-4 years had passed this was reasonable. I only have internet and security camera system plugged in. After initially working, the system with newly installed battery didn’t work. I emailed and also called. The toll free number kept saying “Your estimated wait time is 1 minute” but I was on hold 23 minutes. Then when a guy answered and I described the issue and asked if he had any ideas for me to troubleshoot, also telling him what I had tried, he said oh yes we can work on it… and disconnected. As for tge email to service, no reply.

My old "dead" battery is 2.5" wide x 2" tall x 5.25" long. The replacement RBC 35 that you sent is 2.625" wide x 2.25 " tall x 5.25" long. Your replacement is too wide to fit the BE350G case and too tall to allow the battery cover to close over the terminals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery replacement An APC product is the only product I trust to protect my computer, sewing machines (which cost more than $10,000 each!) and other electronic devices from power surges. We get power outages a lot due to living in a neighborhood with lots of trees. It is called "The Liveable Forest" except when the wind blows down limbs and trees onto power lines. Since installing APC surge protectors, we have not lost one device. Prior to using APC, we lost many devices and the hassle with the insurance company was a nightmare. Thanks APC for a great product.

I opened the compartment to discover leakage inside the compartment; a surprise since the 3 y/o ES 500 unit is under a desk, away from any sunlight, A/C or heat registers. I certainly hope the replacement RBC2 battery lives up to the leakproof claim. And- would it be possible to link to a UPS return label as an online step in the RBC2 purchase? It shouldn't require a separate call for an obvious (to me) predictable request.
