Is This The Best Compatible Replacement Battery Kit for Your APC RBC115 and RBC116?

Jan 24th 2023

In this blog, we will be showing you the benefits of purchasing a compatible replacement cartridge for your APC RBC115 and APCRBC116.

What is the RBC115 and RBC116?

The APC RBC115 and RBC116 are a replacement battery kit for some APC UPS battery back up units. Both RBC115 and RBC116 utilize the same plastic tray and wiring harnesses; however, the battery cells contained within each RBC are of differing capacities which we will highlight below.

Benefits of Our Compatible Battery Kit

Our battery trays and wiring harnesses are brand new. This means the trays have never been used before and will not have any cracks in it. This is important since the trays hold the batteries together, and any cracks in it will compromise the structural integrity of the tray itself. Furthermore, our wiring harnesses including our fuse are brand new which reduces the fault points in the system when compared to reusing old wires in a refurbished unit. 

In our RBC116 compatible unit, we use the Raion Power RG128-32HR 32W cell. Each battery is rated at 12V 7.5Ah 32 watts, and each battery is a high rate discharge battery. The original battery that comes with your equipment is a 12V 7Ah, so this will provide a longer run time compared to the original equipment. 

In our RBC115 compatible unit, we use the Raion Power RG129-36HR 36W cell. Each battery is rated at 12V 9Ah 36 watts, and each battery is a high rate discharge battery. 

Using high rate discharge batteries is important. These Raion Power batteries are specifically designed to be used in UPS battery backup applications. During power outages, UPS equipments require a large amount of current to keep the equipment that is connected to the UPS equipment up and running. Non-high rate discharge batteries are not designed to be able to provide this amount of current at once, so ensuring that you have Raion Power high rate batteries in your APCRBC115 and APCRBC116 compatible battery units is important. These batteries are designed and tested to meet the specifications for UPS equipments. 

We voltage match, top charge, and ensure that the manufacturing batch are the same for all the batteries being used to assemble this kit. This improves the performance and the lifespan of the overall battery kit. In addition to this, we check the polarity at the connector to ensure that that polarity is correct.

After we assemble the battery kit together, we install the fully assembled kit in a compatible APC UPS unit. Every RBC kit we assemble and ship is first installed and tested in a compatible APC unit. This ensures that the unit is fully functioning and will be recognized by your UPS unit. 

These are some of the benefits to buying your next compatible replacement battery kit for your RBC115 and RBC116 from Raion Group.
