APC replacement batteries are tested and approved for restoring the UPS performance to its original specifications. The RBC is a VRLA battery with a 2-year warranty. Review: Simple solution to restore UPS functionality - The battery pack was delivered on time and in good condition. The instructions were fairly good, but just in case I reviewed a YouTube video to make sure I fully understood the replacement steps (with visuals). The new battery is OEM, so it fit perfectly in the UPS chassis. APC also offers free battery recycling (a HUGE plus) so I didn't have to mess with finding an e-waste/recycling location to safely dispose of the old battery. Keep all the original packing material and go to APC website to get your UPS label. After that, just drop off at any UPS location and you're done. NOTE: This offer may only if you've purchased an APC branded battery pack and are returning an APC battery pack. Check the APC battery recycling information to make sure. After installation, I followed instructions on charging and calibrating the battery to ensure best possible performance. Very happy with the results so far. Review: True APC Battery at a great price, thanks - So far so good. I just received my battery and it appears to be a true APC labeled battery. I installed it and am now awaiting initial charge top-off before turning the unit on and loading/testing the battery. I will update this review, if it fails, but I am not anticipating any problems. Note: I have seen other postings where people complain, and are claiming the battery they received is not a true APC battery. They say they removed the battery label and found they received a Chinese battery, but they didn't say who the Mfr actually was. So... Just for curiosity I removed the original APC Label from my old/original battery. This was the original battery that came with my UPS, and lasted six years, plus it sat discharged in storage for the last year (and didn't leak or explode). The original battery mfr. info was printed directly on the battery (not just another label). The print showed the Mfr. as "BB Battery" using a pair of model BP12-12 batteries, made in China. They are somewhat rare, but if you can find a true BB Battery brand for sale you will find they are at the expensive end of the price list, and a pair of 12V/12AH will cost you the same or more than this battery. At this point I have not removed the label on my new battery, and will do so only if it fails. Also note that the box this was shipped in has the APC serial # and identifies it as made in Vietnam. You may ask what's the point to all this? It's simple, APC apparently puts their Brand Label on batteries made by other companies, APC builds equipment, APC does not build batteries. I trust in APC to source decent replacement batteries. If you happen to get a defective one, well yeah sometimes that happens. Keep the original shipping box and Call APC (not desertcart) for warranty replacement, because according to other reviews I have read desertcart says no returns on this "hazardous" material. Hey desertcart!!! How is it this battery is somehow not hazardous to stock in your warehouse, handle them, and ship them out to customers. But yet it somehow miraculously becomes hazardous to ship it back to them! A 30-90 Day return should apply! Really - stop blocking defective returns!!! ## Features - For best performance and warranty support of your APC UPS, use only genuine APC replacement batteries with your APC UPS - Each APC Replacement Battery Cartridges (RBC) is tested and certified for compatibility to restore the performance of your APC UPS to original specifications - When you buy a new genuine APC RBC, you can recycle your old UPS battery via the "RBC Recycling Program" on the APC website.

The batteries were still working and their charged voltage at 13.00 Volts. This is is nearly 6.5 years of use with no sign of failure. This is longer than any other brand of batteries and fairly typical of my experience with APC batteries in UPSs.I decided to replace them because I it is likely they would not make another year given data on this type of battery, and I wanted auto make sure my UPS was in top shape. Given my good luck, I bought an APC battery pack RBC6 replacement which arrived nearly fully charged and intact. The unit started up with zero problems after I let it recharged for 6 hours. I will update this note if and when the batteries fail for 6 years pass. The APC price is only a value if the batteries last 6 years IMO. The removal process is awkward and could be improved easily. I would give APC UPS units a higher value if they made it easy/cheap to hook up additional external battery packs without having to buy their brand. I would hook up a couple of deep cell AGMs. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS Battery Replacement, RBC6, for APC Smart-UPS SMT1000, SMC1500, SMT1000C, SMT1000US, SU1000, SU1000BX120, SUA1000US, SUA1000 - APC UPS Battery Replacement, RBC7, for APC Smart-UPS Models SMT1500, SMT1500C, SMT1500US, SUA1500, SUA1500US, SUA750XL and select others - APC 1500VA Smart UPS with SmartConnect, SMC1500C Sinewave UPS Battery Backup, AVR, 120V, Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70013852-apc-ups-battery-replacement-rbc6-smart-ups-smt1000-smc1500-smt1000c](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70013852-apc-ups-battery-replacement-rbc6-smart-ups-smt1000-smc1500-smt1000c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
