Need help?Do you have a question about the Tripp Lite RBC6A and is the answer not in the manual?
The Tripp Lite RBC6A is a UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge designed to restore the original runtime specifications of select APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. This product is a crucial component for maintaining the operational efficiency and reliability of your UPS, ensuring that your connected equipment remains powered during outages and power fluctuations.
The primary function of the RBC6A is to serve as a direct replacement for depleted or aging batteries within compatible APC UPS models. A UPS system relies on its internal batteries to provide backup power when the main power source fails or experiences irregularities. Over time, these batteries degrade and lose their capacity to hold a charge, leading to reduced runtime and compromised protection for your electronics. The RBC6A addresses this by offering a fresh set of high-quality, OEM-certified premium batteries that effectively revitalize your UPS, bringing its performance back to factory specifications. This ensures that your critical devices, such as computers, servers, and networking equipment, receive consistent, uninterrupted power, preventing data loss, system crashes, and hardware damage during power disturbances. The cartridge contains two 12V 11AH sealed lead-acid batteries, specifically chosen for their reliability and performance in UPS applications.
The RBC6A is engineered for ease of use and seamless integration into your existing UPS setup. One of its key usage features is that it comes pre-assembled and ready for immediate installation. This eliminates the need for complex wiring or battery assembly, allowing users to quickly and efficiently replace their old battery cartridge without requiring specialized tools or technical expertise. The plug-and-play design minimizes downtime, ensuring that your UPS system is back online and protecting your equipment as swiftly as possible.
The cartridge is designed to be compatible with a wide range of APC UPS models, including popular series such as BP1000, SUVS1000, SU1000, SU1000NET, SU1000RM, SU1000RMNET, and SUA1000. This broad compatibility makes the RBC6A a versatile solution for many users with APC UPS systems, simplifying the replacement process by offering a single, reliable option for multiple units.
Furthermore, the RBC6A is built with a rugged, leakproof construction, enhancing its durability and safety during handling and operation. This robust design ensures that the batteries are securely contained and protected, minimizing the risk of leaks or damage that could affect the UPS or its surroundings. The maintenance-free nature of the sealed lead-acid batteries means that once installed, they require no regular fluid checks or other upkeep, allowing for a hassle-free experience.
The batteries within the RBC6A are designed to operate effectively across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for various environmental conditions where UPS systems are typically deployed. This resilience contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of the battery cartridge, ensuring consistent performance whether in a climate-controlled office or a less regulated environment. Users can expect up to 30% longer runtime compared to basic replacement batteries, providing extended protection during prolonged power outages.
While the RBC6A itself is maintenance-free in terms of its internal components, Tripp Lite has incorporated features that facilitate responsible end-of-life management and provide clear guidance for users. The product includes reusable packaging specifically designed to hold expired batteries. This thoughtful feature encourages and simplifies the process of recycling old batteries, promoting environmental responsibility. Users can simply place their old battery cartridge into the packaging provided with the new RBC6A and transport it to a designated recycling center. This eliminates the need for users to find separate packaging or disposal solutions for hazardous waste, making the recycling process convenient and accessible.
Each RBC6A comes with an instruction manual that provides comprehensive information on installation, recycling procedures, and warranty details. This manual serves as a valuable resource, guiding users through the replacement process step-by-step and ensuring that they can properly install the new cartridge and dispose of the old one. The clear instructions help prevent common installation errors and ensure that the UPS operates correctly with the new batteries.
The typical lifespan of the batteries within the RBC6A is estimated to be 3-5 years, depending on the host UPS operating conditions. This lifespan provides a clear expectation for users regarding when a replacement might be needed, allowing for proactive maintenance planning. While the batteries are designed for longevity, understanding their expected lifespan helps users anticipate future replacement needs and maintain continuous protection for their equipment.
The OEM-certified premium batteries used in the RBC6A ensure high quality and reliability, reducing the likelihood of premature failure and extending the overall service life of your UPS system. This commitment to quality minimizes the need for frequent replacements and associated maintenance efforts, offering peace of mind to users.
