Powerful performance for safety-critical applications
The VISION RBC43 cartridge is designed to meet the demanding requirements of APC Smart UPS systems in the 2200VA and 3000VA classes. The installed batteries are high-current capable and can immediately supply the necessary power in the event of a power failure to safely shut down or continue to operate your connected servers, network storage and other critical devices. The stable and reliable performance protects your valuable hardware against damage caused by voltage fluctuations and failures.
Robust engineering for demanding environments
The batteries used in the RBC43 cartridge are based on proven VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) with an AGM system (Absorbent Glass Mat), in which the electrolyte is safely bound in a fibreglass mat. This makes the batteries absolutely leak-proof and enables operation in any position. The low self-discharge ensures long storage time and operational readiness. The robust ABS plastic battery housing provides excellent protection against mechanical impact.

FAQs about the VISION RBC43 replacement battery cassette
For which UPS models is this cartridge suitable?
The VISION RBC43 cartridge is designed as a replacement for the original APC RBC43 battery unit and is, among others, compatible with the following APC Smart UPS models: SMT2200I, SMT2200RMI2U, SMT3000I, SMT3000RMI2U, SUA2200I, SUA3000I. Please check the exact designation of your UPS system before purchase.
Is replacing the battery complicated?
No, the replacement is very simple and can be carried out during operation (hot swap) without technical expertise. The APC UPS systems have an easily accessible battery compartment. You only need to pull out the old cassette, disconnect the connector, connect the new VISION RBC43 cartridge and push it back in.
Do I need to set anything on the UPS after replacement?
After inserting the new cartridge, the UPS will usually recognise the replacement automatically. It is recommended to use the software (PowerChute) or the display to note the battery replacement date and to run a self-test function. A runtime calibration can be useful to ensure an accurate remaining runtime display.
Is it safe to use a third-party replacement cassette?
Yes, absolutely. VISION is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality AGM batteries. Our RBC43 cartridge is expertly assembled, tested and uses only quality-tested batteries that are designed for use in UPS units and ensure maximum safety.
What is the service life of the VISION RBC43 replacement cassette?
The service life of the installed batteries is up to 5 years in typical standby operation in a UPS unit at 20 °C. The actual service life can be influenced by factors such as ambient temperature and frequency of power failures.
What must I observe when disposing of the old cassette?
Lead-acid batteries are hazardous waste and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can dispose of your old cassette free of charge and in an environmentally responsible way at municipal collection points, recycling centres or at any dealer selling starter batteries.
