APC Genuine Replacement Battery Cartridge #159 (APCRBC159)

Restore your industry-standard 1500VA 2U rack-mount Smart-UPS systems to full factory runtime with this completely assembled, hot-swappable OEM battery sled.

The 1500VA 2U rack-mount UPS is the undisputed workhorse of distributed IT, silently protecting your critical PoE switches, edge servers, and telecom gateways. But when its internal battery inevitably degrades after 3 to 5 years, the integrity of your entire network closet is at risk. Attempting to save a fraction of your IT budget by peeling the factory wiring harnesses off your old battery and taping them onto cheap, aftermarket 12V blocks is a severe fire hazard that instantly voids your APC Equipment Protection Policy. The APC Genuine Replacement Battery Cartridge #159 (APCRBC159) completely eliminates that liability. This official, Schneider Electric-certified power module arrives as a fully assembled metal sled, complete with high-current wiring and fuses already perfectly calibrated. Simply slide the old tray out and the new one in, restoring your mission-critical backup power in minutes without ever dropping the load to your connected network.

Key Features & Benefits:

• True OEM Certification: Guaranteed to meet or exceed original APC factory specifications. Deploying a genuine APCRBC159 ensures your 2U UPS maintains its rigorous UL safety certification and keeps your critical equipment warranties completely intact.

• Zero-Downtime Hot-Swapping: Your network switches cannot afford a maintenance shutdown. The APCRBC159 is designed to be safely swapped out by your IT staff while your UPS continues to deliver perfectly clean, uninterrupted power to your rack.

• Fully Assembled & Pre-Wired: Eliminate the manual labor, electrical arcing, and fire hazards associated with wiring individual aftermarket batteries together. This cartridge is perfectly calibrated and ready to drop into the chassis the second you open the box.
