SAFETY WARNING. The Operation Manual states, "CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings.High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns". Probably want to be most safe and take off the wristwatch - - person in video did not.

[@GeneralCondom]

hahaha this is is the most underrated comment

[@partycpa]

Also, he's wearing his access badge on a lanyard. Serious hazard as it flops on top of a battery as he slides it in.

Our UPS has a health warning "battery measured life near end" but our UPS is just 7months old. We bought this brand new in one of your authorized reseller here in Saudi Arabia and installed on Feb.23, 2020 only.

Just had FOUR two year old batteries go in an SRT8KRMXLT. All at once. No building power events detected. Brilliant. :(

@@schneiderelectric my director is sorting out replacement units, for the record all of my personal UPS's are APC @ home. I want to call this a fluke

[@novimustadjab]

before replacing batteries, should I change the Control to Go into Bypass ?

[@eclypse3d]

No you should not have to do that, it should be automatic, and I think if the batteries are actually bad (X) marked, they are technically pulled from service I think. I think they automatically change over in any case when pulled to swap them and the system detects they are removed.

[@jayfrancismanalo2720]

but it seems this is better practice manually make the ups in bypass mode before replacing teh batteries

[@ForeIndication]

Good job to the point what I needed to be sure, thank you.

[@hepyish]

How to change the RBC's date installed..?

[@eclypse3d]

You can do it through the menu system =>Status => Battery, but if these are new and when you insert them it will ask if they are new or not I think it sets the date replaced at that point if new.

[@MrThanjobernardo]

if it has error to replace APCRBC 140 replacement, do I need to replace the whole cartridge or the the batteries only affected? pls reply

Internal RBC near end of life - 0404? what do you think?

[@nwtassiegoldpanning3376]

I have one of these but it didn't have any batteries when i got it. Someone keeps telling me it needs a battery tray. Is this correct and what does it look like if so? Thanks in advance.

[@drdiaz24]

What do I do if I've replaced both cartridges, and reset the UPS but the error still shows?

[@schneiderelectric]

Thanks for reaching out. Please ensure the batteries are fully charged and try the self test again. If the self test still fails, we would recommend trying another set of batteries. Our APC authorized batteries come with a 1 year warranty and can be replaced under that warranty if need be. If the self test still fails, it would unfortunately indicate an issue with the unit itself.

[@eclypse3d]

If the error persists after running the self diagnostics on the battery it is most likely the chassis is faulty.

internal RBC needs replacement order part :apcRbc 152 What's the solution bro ?????

[@schneiderelectric]

It looks like your battery needs to be replaced and the part number is APCRBC152. We recommend that your each out to technical support (www.apc.com/contact) and provide the UPS model number and serial number. They can make sure that is the correct part number along with the quantity of how many you need.

[@mntambo]

What types and capacity of batteries inside the apcrbc140?

12v, no idea on the capacity. Probably 4 to 5 mAh.

[@schneiderelectric]

Thank you for reaching out. The specs for the APCRBC140 are available here: spr.ly/6057HP0rh

[@jakeh3144]

@ surely you mean Ah

[@dr.hinneredv932]

Specs say 5.1Ah 192Vdc, other APC have 12 V, it seems this one not.
