RBC43 Compatibility

RBC43 fits these 120V North American APC models. The 230V international "I" versions (for example SMT2200RMI2U and SMT3000RMI2U) use the same cartridge.

UPS family Models
Smart-UPS SMT 2200VA 2U SMT2200RM2U, SMT2200RM2UC, SMT2200RM2UNC
Smart-UPS SMT 3000VA 2U SMT3000RM2U, SMT3000RM2UC, SMT3000RM2UNC, SMT3000RMT2U
Smart-UPS SUA 2U (legacy) SUA2200RM2U, SUA3000RM2U, SUA3000RMT2U
Smart-UPS XL 2U SUM1500RMXL2U, SUM3000RMXL2U, SUM48RMXLBP2U battery pack

Tower vs rackmount: RBC43 is for the 2U rackmount (RM2U) units only. The tower SMT2200 and SMT3000 take the RBC55 cartridge. Check the model on your UPS label before ordering.

When to Replace Your RBC43

  • The UPS shows a replace battery alert or fails its self-test.
  • Runtime has dropped noticeably compared with when the UPS was new.
  • The cartridge is 3 to 5 years old, sooner in warm server rooms or after frequent outages.

Why a Genuine APC Cartridge

  • Matched to the UPS: tested by APC to restore the UPS to its original runtime specifications and work with its battery management.
  • Ready to install: ships assembled in its metal tray with all connectors, so there is no wiring individual batteries.
  • Hot-swappable: replace it from the front panel while the UPS keeps protecting the load.
  • Leakproof and maintenance-free: sealed VRLA construction, mountable in the rack without venting or topping up.

RBC43 FAQ

Which APC UPS models use the RBC43 battery?

RBC43 is the replacement battery cartridge for 2U rackmount APC Smart-UPS models including SMT2200RM2U, SMT2200RM2UC, SMT2200RM2UNC, SMT3000RM2U, SMT3000RM2UC, SMT3000RM2UNC, SMT3000RMT2U, SUA2200RM2U, SUA3000RM2U and SUA3000RMT2U, plus the Smart-UPS XL SUM1500RMXL2U, SUM3000RMXL2U and the SUM48RMXLBP2U battery pack. The 230V international "I" versions of these models use the same cartridge.

Does the RBC43 fit the tower SMT2200 or SMT3000?

No. RBC43 is the flat cartridge for the 2U rackmount (RM2U) versions. The tower SMT2200 and SMT3000 use the RBC55 cartridge instead. Check the model number on the label of your UPS: if it contains RM2U, you need RBC43.

What are the RBC43 voltage and capacity?

RBC43 is a 48V DC, 10Ah sealed lead-acid (VRLA) cartridge, about 480 Wh of stored energy. It measures roughly 533 x 216 x 76 mm and weighs about 19 kg. One cartridge is required per UPS.

Can I replace the RBC43 without shutting down the UPS?

Yes. RBC43 is hot-swappable, so you can remove the old cartridge and install the new one through the front panel while the UPS keeps powering the connected load. The cartridge ships fully assembled with all connectors and the metal tray.

How long does an RBC43 battery last?

APC rates the expected life at 3 to 5 years. Actual life depends mostly on room temperature and how often the battery discharges; a warm rack or frequent outages shorten it. Replace the cartridge when the UPS shows a replace-battery alert or fails its self-test.

Can I get volume pricing on RBC43 for multiple UPS units?

Yes. ITGearHub quotes volume and fleet battery replacements for Canadian businesses. Request a quote at itgearhub.ca/request-quote/, call (365) 990-2020 or email sales@itgearhub.ca.
