  • Works with NS 1250 (BN1250) UPS
There's controversy over whether I needed the RBC32 or RBC33. The APC website says it is the RBC33. Amazon says it is the RBC32. The RBC33 fits and has more energy storage, so that is the one I ordered. It's been a few days, and, so far, it is working out great. The old batteries were difficult to remove because one of them had split open. Other than that, the install was a breeze. I performed a hot swap. I don't understand why, but I had to download the latest APC software to see the status. When I looked at the state of the batteries, it said that the batteries were charged 8%. I was disappointed, but it was no big deal. As soon as I forced a test of the UPS, it came back showing the batteries at 100%, so they were charged after all. It said I had 32 minutes time on battery, which sounds right. I'm pleased so far. And, the RBC33 is apparently the correct battery for the NS 1250 (BN1250) UPS, although I imagine the RBC32 would work. ... show more

  • Genuine APC Replacement - Works Great in RS1500
Replacement was somewhat of a hassle, as my old battery had swelled, making removal a bit challenging. Otherwise - this seems to be a great battery so far for my APC RS 1500 UPS. The new battery slipped right in with no problem. Note there's an orientation to power connector: if stiff, flip it over & should easily slide into place. The battery arrived in an APC box with an APC sticker, and APC paperwork - so I'm glad it is not an imitation. As for the hot swap capabilities of the RS 1050, I didn't really care, but upon insertion, the warning light was still red. I pressed the big button in front, which normally runs a self-test. HA! But remember to *long press* for the self-test. (I gave it a short press, and it powered off) Upon re-pressing the button, the unit did a proper self-test and appears to be happy now. ... show more

  • So far so good...
I'm not sure how valuable a review of a just-installed battery is, but I saw a couple of reviews that didn't match my buying experience and I therefore thought I'd share mine. First, inside the packaging you'll find a "Battery Disposal Information" sheet. Follow the link provided and you'll be able to print out a FREE shipping label for your old battery pack. Use the box the new battery came in, slap the label on it, and take it to the nearest drop-off location (or call for a pickup). Second, the unit I received looked exactly like the picture - two batteries already assembled, which is different than what the one reviewer here mentioned. Not sure why we received different products, but in my case it was as simple as disconnecting the modular plug, pulling the old one out, and following that in reverse to install the new one. Two minutes. Third, I installed this battery pack in a UPS BackUps 1000, even though this is supposedly a battery for a 1500. Figured it would work fine PLUS I'd have longer on-battery time versus the intended 1000 battery module. The UPS's are exactly the same physically and I'm guessing the internals are too, except of course for the weaker battery that comes originally with the 1000. Lastly, after installing the new battery module, I plugged the UPS back in and the behavior was a little strange - some beeps and amber lights (I didn't record the exact sequence) for a minute or so. I started to think perhaps something was wrong with the new module, as some reviewers indicated was the case with theirs, but that stopped and the green light has been on ever since with no beeps. Everything seems fine. ... show more

  • Mis-configured for older models- not quite 3 years
The battery pack works fine, and is installed in my unit after a bit of jerry rigging. Make sure you have the NEW version of the XS 1500, not an older one, or this won't fit out of the box. I purchased this model for my APC Back+UPS XS 1500; which is what the product description says it fits. My XS 1500 is several years old (purchased it at Circuit City back in the day), and apparently APC has kept the same name as the older models, but changed the design of the battery packs. The issue is that in the older XS 1500, the two batteries that make up the pack are side-to-side, with the terminals at the top of each unit on the same plane. With the version shipping with this product purchase it's the same two batteries, but instead of side-to-side, they are top-end-to-top-end and held together with binding cover. It only took a few minutes to disassemble the thing as received and put it together (with strong electrical tap binding the two batteries together) in a manner that fit the older unit. Once inserted and connected, it charged right up and my UPS is actually a UPS again. Overall not a big issue for someone with just a little bit of tech saavy...but also not something the average user would want to deal with. UPDATE: Time to order another one for my APC XS-1500. The item advertises 3-5 years battery life, and I'm just one month short of the 3 years mark. I'm not going to down-rate the product because of that, but wanted to warn others that this product is probably going to be on the low end of the battery longevity scale advertised. ... show more

  • Perfect Match for Back-UPS RS1500
I have two APC Back-UPS RS1500 systems at home that have been in constant use for several years now. Both systems have the BR24BP extended battery pack. These systems are absolute troopers and the extended battery packs give them excellent run times, so I haven't had a good reason to replace them yet. One system started failing during outages. Even a small power blip that wouldn't kill other systems without a UPS would cause the UPS to shutoff and come back on. I've seen this behavior before and knew it was the result of a failing battery, despite the lack of a battery failure warning on the front of the system. I purchased two of the RBC33 batteries, one for each of these systems, and replaced both of them at the same time. It was a flawless replacement that required no downtime for the attached equipment. ... show more

  • Non APC Battery
I just got my shipment from UPS and I'm not a HAPPY CAMPER as I ordered the real APC RBC33 pack as listed on Amazon. What I got from the company they used call chefash was 2 separate batteries. Now the Amazon page shows I ordered the real deal, but Chefash is now listed in the other companies. When you look there now they say it's 2 separate batteries which is not going to be APC as they only ship the batteries as a unit (taped together and you get a free shipping label to recycle the old batteries). Not from this place! I blame Amazon for showing the APC just like now, only saying it ships from Chefash and nowhere when I ordered did they list if as two separate batteries (NOT APC). Normally Amazon hasn't had a problem like this for all the items I've ordered when they list either Amazon or the supplier. I started the first step which is sending a note the seller, not holding my breath they are going to make this right. I'm sure Amazon will give me my money in the end, but this doesn't help me now as old batteries are dieing which is why I ordered the replacement. I could order the better separate batteries which are less money from another company as now Amazon has a higher price for the same APC pack. Last time I order off of Amazon for the APC pack I got a good and price and had no problems. So watch who is shipping your battery pack and double or triple check to be sure you are getting the real deal. What I would really like is for Amazon to give me a return label for these batteries and ship me the real APC batteries! ... show more

  • Works as Described
When I bought the APC UPS, It didnt occur to me that the battery would eventually need replacing. There were some generic batteries and some 'kits' available at lower prices, but I was hesitant to go there. The UPS unit is a backup and I feel like cutting corners on the battery might compromise the reliability of the unit - sort of defeats the purpose. So I went with this item. It is a Perfect replacement for the original backup-unit battery. It does what its supposed to do. Installation is straightforward, although the clearances within the case of the APC unit are very tight - I had to push pretty hard to get the battery + connection cable all the way in. NOTE: In the package there was a reminder that you can drop the expired battery off at the local Office Supply store for recycling. ... show more

  • It WORKS!
After over 15 years of continuous use,the battery of my dependable APC power supply decided it was just too tuckered out to take a charge. After ascertaining that the rest of the unit was still operating just fine, and that all was needed was a new battery, that was the most cost efficient path to take since replacing this particular UPS would cost more than twice the cost of the battery. This battery is an exact replacement for the one which became non-functional. Simply removed the cover on the UPS case, unplugged the old one, and just plugged in the new one, replaced the cover, and plugged it into the AC outlet. Even though it was already charged when it arrived (in only two days) from the day it was ordered, I gave it about 8 more hours to ensure that it was fully charged before connecting it to this computer and its related peripherals. Peace of mind is knowing that with a properly working UPS, if a loss of commercial power occurs while you are using your system, you are able to at least make an orderly shut-down if you anticipate that your outage may last more than momentarily. ... show more
