APC 12V Replacement Battery Cartridge #17

The APC RBC17 is a replacement battery cartridge that restores full backup power to compatible APC Back-UPS units. It uses a 12-volt, 9-amp-hour sealed lead-acid cell, so your uninterruptible power supply can keep critical devices running when the lights go out.

Every cartridge arrives fully assembled. You slide out the old module, insert the new one, and the hot-swap design means the UPS stays online throughout the swap. That simple process eliminates downtime for home offices, small businesses, or network closets that cannot afford interruptions.

The sealed construction is leakproof and maintenance free, which simplifies ownership and meets international safety standards for transport. When the battery reaches the end of its three-to-five-year service life, APC includes prepaid shipping labels so you can send the used unit back for responsible recycling.

This cartridge is tested and approved by APC, so it matches the original factory specifications and preserves the power and surge protection you counted on when the UPS was new. If you rely on an APC Back-UPS to protect computers, networking gear, or point-of-sale equipment, the RBC17 keeps that protection ready for the next outage.
