- Free shipping on replacement parts
- Free RBC replacement of non-functioning batteries
- 24/7 technical support to answer your questions, and give you peace of mind.
- 1 and 3 year UPS warranty options

Replacement Battery
If your UPS is 3-5 years old, an APC replacement battery cartridge (RBC) is likely the best option for you. An RBC would provide you with:
- Complete assembly for easy hot-swap installation
- Prepaid postage to a nearby recycling partner for battery disposal
- Reusable packaging with clear disposal instructions

Five reasons why you should only use a genuine APC RBC in your APC UPS
1. Use of a non-APC battery may result in lower runtime, damage the UPS, create hazardous conditions, or void safety certifications on the UPS
2. Use of a non-APC battery will void APC’s Equipment Protection Policy.
3. APC recycles used batteries. With each purchase of a genuine APC replacement battery, you get free freight back to APC for proper disposal of your old batteries (USA only)
4. APC provides a 1-year warranty on each RBC.
5. APC supplies the appropriate instructions, wires and connectors.
