Review: Learned my lesson after trying non-APC Alternative - I’ve been using these APC branded replacements without issue for a couple of decades now. They cost more, but peace of mind is worth it. I went the non-OEM “a battery is a battery and I like saving money” route several years back. I had 2 identical units that use these batteries and both of the non-APC replacements ended badly. They both lasted about as long as the OEM batteries, but instead of just testing bad and replacing them without incident, they both got so hot that I had to turn the units off and unplug them for 12 hours until they were cool enough to touch. They got so hot that all the rubber feet completely melted! Once I was able to access the battery compartments safely I found that both batteries were completely stuck. I forget exactly how I managed to get them out, but I do remember that they could be moved slightly from side to side and that it took quite some time to “rock” them out. Once I removed them the reason was apparent, both batteries had shorted out cells that had swelled as a result, effectively wedging them in place. No, they didn’t fail at exactly the same time, it was a fix the first one, assume it was just a one time thing, then not too long after there goes the other one kinda thing. The failures were so close together that I do consider it a single incident; only a week or two apart. I put new APC replacements in each, lesson learned! Both of those UPS units were replaced about 5 years ago. One of them (the oldest) experienced a rather violent failure involving a very loud “pop” and a puff of smoke, but that was after it was taken out of service. It had been failing to recover from total battery depletion on restoration of line power for quite some time before that (it had to be powered up manually. Unacceptable!) It blew when I was using it for battery maintenance on its now unused “backup” battery. The other wasn’t responding to its power button with any consistency; both were retired at the same time. I’m wondering just how much the extreme heat both units experienced had to do with their ultimate failures only a few years later. Both units were replaced with the latest version of the same APC units and both OG batteries are still testing good. The amount that they are depleted during the short bi-weekly tests indicate that they will need to be replaced soon, but 5 years is a good run. I’m very impressed, since the old units batteries generally needed to be replaced every 3 years. APC claims improved battery management has increased the useful lifetime of the batteries, I’m inclined to believe them. UPDATE (5/17/24): Unbelievably, the OG batteries in both replacement units are still going strong (nearly 6 years so far!) I had to find a way to keep the 3 shelved replacements healthy until they’re needed. Two were bought 17 months ago (now well beyond the 18 months after manufacture date that the risk of permanently damaging them due to over discharge becomes an issue.) On average, new batteries are about 4 months old by the time you receive them, so they’re both at 21 months. All 3 are currently being maintained, however, and have been since last August (well within the 18 month limit for the “new” ones.) I purchased a very nice battery charger/conditioner for this purpose. It wasn’t cheap, but the first time the old “retired” batteries were connected it topped off the first one (tested good) and failed the other (no question, I knew 100% what their status was.) The 2 “new” ones just needed topping off as well, so they haven’t experienced any degradation. This time all three topped off quickly; all in excellent condition. It also resurrected a NOS battery that I’d completely forgotten about many years ago. When I found the sealed box, I realized what it was (and that it was over 8 years old!) It was completely dead, but amazingly this charger fully restored it. It’s now installed in my oldest active service UPS and doing great, approaching 9 months now. If interested, do a search for “Optimate7”, the higher current 12v/24v version. You may think it’s not worth it, but I’ve already recuperated the purchase price (and a significant amount more!) Unfortunately, doing a recent search it seems that the model I purchased is now quite difficult to find, but there are some still available. I’ll update when the OG batteries in the current units finally need to be replaced and on how the newly installed “long term storage” replacement batteries appear to be doing. That’s all for now. UPDATE (4/16/26): A bit late on this update, but it is timely as of the last significant event (yesterday.) The first OG battery finally gave it up in March of ‘25 (6.5 years after UPS’s were put in service.) Replaced it with the last remaining retired battery from the units they replaced. That old battery just failed yesterday and was replaced with one of the two new batteries purchased in December ‘22 (delivered January ‘23.) The OG battery in the other unit is still going strong (or so it seems, both failures came with absolutely no advanced warning; just completely dead one day.) The error message both times was “battery not connected”; Total failure! Once they were replaced all was good again. Both replacements went smoothly, besides the old batteries being completely dead and fairly warm. Both batteries used were being maintained by my automated reconditioning charger. Every 6 months or so they were connected and topped off, until they were installed. Down to the last “new” battery now, still undergoing scheduled maintenance until it’s finally needed (presumably in the other unit, still running with its OG battery. Approaching 8 years old now.) I’m not looking forward to purchasing new replacements when the time comes and it doesn’t look like they’ll ever be significantly less expensive than they are now! Admittedly, I got a great price on those last 2 batteries (best price ever on desertcart, a flash sale. I’m never that lucky, but that time I was!) Compared to the “normal” price at the time, new ones are about 30% more expensive now. The Optimate7 charger/conditioner appears to be readily available now (just checked here on desertcart.) If interested, check it out and read my review. Maybe one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I’ll update again when that last OG battery gives it up!

But I can say we are still using it after a few years. I'd buy it again. **Q: This product is CLEARLY advertised as APC officially branded and original from them, NEW. WHY are so many people receiving offbrand units?** A: FYI, I had 3 UPS devices with batteries that failed because the batteries were beyond useful life (around 4 to 5 years old) I had been told to look under the APC label to see who the MFR was, I doubted there was anything. Yet, I peeled back APC's label and found another company that actually produced the batteries. APC only slapped their name of another companies manufactured batteries. All 3 UPS were bought new, so they had the original APC batteries in them and all 3 had batteries with APC labels, but under the label was a different MFR. The rhetoric from APC is marketing for the most part. I ended up looking for the same company that mfg the batteries for apc for my devices (they were different mfr's (I had 2 different models) So I found the same batteries and mfr and they worked perfectly. note some mfr's produce different quality grades of batteries. That's why I looked for the same mfr and I could compare their stock numbers to ensure I was getting the same part replaced. In total I saved $140 for new batteries for the 3 ups devices. **Q: how can be sure that the units that i bought are original? i need 35 pieces** A: Thank you for reaching out to us. All replacement RBC kits have a model and serial number on a white bar code sticker. If you need to check the age of the RBC kit you can contact out support center and we can determine the age by the serial number. http://www.apc.com/us/en/support/contact-us/index.jsp **Q: How do you turn off the beep when the battery needs replacement? I ordered a new one but don't want to listen to this beeping sound for another 2 days** A: turn it off! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learned my lesson after trying non-APC Alternative *by S***E on January 16, 2023* I’ve been using these APC branded replacements without issue for a couple of decades now.

Can recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For a UPS, go OEM for no headaches. *by D***B on April 7, 2016* This was the second replacement battery I purchased (November, 2015) for the Smart-UPS 1400 I have. I first thought I could spend about half as much for what I thought was a comparable battery pack, and I was wrong. I have a duplex color laser printer, an inkjet printer & scanner, two PCs, KVM and four pieces of network equipment plugged into the UPS. The pair of Vision SCP12180 (advertised as UB12180) I purchased first were simply awful. At first, printing to the laser would cause the UPS to scream from the moment the printer woke up, through printing, and then intermittently for some time after it went back to sleep. After about 12 months of use, printing would cause the power to cycle, restarting all my equipment. This OEM battery pack fully restored the level of service of the UPS. No problem printing. (Maybe there's a chirp when the printer wakes up if both PCs are on.) Yes, the load increases when the printer wakes up, but this battery pack handles it with no problem. The battery pack comes joined, with the connector (unlike the knock-off batteries) for simple swapping with the spent pack. Lesson learned. There's no doubt in my mind that this battery pack will last as long as the original. When it's time for a replacement, I'll be back. 9/21/16 I just learned that it's recommended laser printers aren't plugged into UPSs. I may be wrong, but I could swear when my model UPS was new (~20 years ago), it was suggested for laser printers. I've removed the printer from the UPS, but while it was connected, the UPS still worked liked a charm with this battery pack. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS Battery Replacement, RBC7, for APC Smart-UPS Models SMT1500, SMT1500C, SMT1500US, SUA1500, SUA1500US, SUA750XL and select others - APC UPS Battery Replacement, APCRBC124, for APC UPS Models BR1500G, BX1500M, BR1300G, SMC1000-2U, SMC1000-2UC, BR1500GI, BX1500G, SMC1000-2U, SMC1000-2UC, and select others - APC UPS Battery Replacement, RBC48, for APC Smart-UPS SMT750, SMT750US, SUA750 and select others --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1373941-apc-genuine-ups-replacement-battery-rbc7-for-smart-ups-smt1500c](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1373941-apc-genuine-ups-replacement-battery-rbc7-for-smart-ups-smt1500c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
