APC Smart-UPS SMT1500RMI1U battery replacement.

Replacement APC Smart-UPS SMT1500RMI1U battery pack: a set of six easy, self-replaceable AGM sealed batteries, delivered at a low cost.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices keep computer systems and IT equipment safe and operational during power surges and failures. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides battery backup power when the electrical supply drops to an insufficient voltage or stops. In a mission-critical environment, an uninterruptible power supply is essential. Depending on the UPS unit's size and technology, backup power is provided for a specific period until generators can be activated or network components can be properly shut down. Computers and accessories are safe when electricity flows freely. A single device or an entire data centre can be effectively protected by a UPS unit.

The first thing to check is that you are looking at the correct set for your UPS; there are multiple APC Smart-UPS 1500 models with very similar model numbers. On the reverse of the unit you will find a plate with the model number on it, it should say SMT1500RMI1U, if this is not the case and something else is mentioned then use the search on our website above to find the correct page.

How to maximise the life of your SMT1500RMI1U batteries?
When installed in a UPS system, the manufacturer suggests these batteries should last between two and five years, which is consistent with APC's claims. We recommend that once the batteries are installed in your system, you run it without any load to help them reset and extend battery life for future use. Other tips for extending battery life include keeping the system clean, ensuring good ventilation around it, storing it in a climate-controlled room, and using less than 40% of the load whenever possible.

APC SMT1500RMI1U Operation manual and installation
Swapping the batteries for new ones is a pretty simple job, and if you are inexperienced, follow the instructions in the manual we have available for you to download. In short, however, remove the machine's back cover and unplug the battery module. Undo the screws, slide out the module, replace the batteries, and slide the module back in, making sure the screws are back in place and the cover is replaced. If you think you might forget how to put it back together, take a photo of it first.
