The following information is to help you make a purchase for replacement batteries for the APC RBC26 APCRBC26, the electricity supplied from the mains is passed through system and batteries to offer a clean supply at the other end, they are 12v cells, and comes with 8 x 12-volt batteries which is what the offer on this page is, as they are the required VRLA with AGM technology (more information about the chemistry of them will be found below) they are recyclable and very environmentally friendly, see out recycle page for details
Installing the batteries in not a difficult job, well within the capabilities of most people, you should refer to your manual for the method, they are designed to be replaced, the ones we send to you will be almost fully charged but the UPS will still complete a service charge upon installation, it goes without saying that until this has finished you will not have the benefit of full runtime protection, you probably just want to install and go but its best to run the system without a load to so it can properly reset
It would be fair to expect batteries to last somewhere between two to five years in this UPS, the usage however will determine this, the batteries will get hot in general use, the hotter they get the shorter the life so good ventilation is paramount, to get a long battery life you should try to keep the load below 40%, its capable much more but the pay off will be battery life
The battery type is AGM or absorbed glass mat construction, they are also valve regulated, they means they can be used in tower or rack mounted UPS systems without the fear of any leakage, they will require no maintenance throughout their entire life span and are not-hazardous so safe for use in busy data centres and of course the home office
The information we have provided on this page is a guide, you should carefully check the code on your UPS before ordering as many are very similar, the batteries are recyclable and environmentally friendly, more information about recycling can be found on a link at the foot of this page
