What is it used for?
This cartridge is intended for both home users and professionals who maintain an APC UPS: workstation, server rack, network equipment or any device that needs protection from power outages. A UPS battery wears out over time and with discharge cycles: replacing it in time with a genuine cartridge helps maintain reliable protection.
Before ordering: Schneider Electric does not publish a list of compatible UPS models for this part number. Check that the RBC177 reference matches the one on the cartridge installed in your UPS. If in doubt, contact us.

reducing waste and preserving our natural resources for future generations.
Every UPS that we repair or help to refurbish is one less that will end up growing our landfills.
Every battery is 97% recyclable and is a source of reusable lead.
Indeed, the lead is recovered, remelted and then refined. Once this process is complete, the recycled lead is reused to manufacture new batteries.
Lead is a precious mineral resource, and recycling it is far cheaper, both ecologically and financially, than extracting it. It is therefore an effective way of conserving natural resources and an important means of protecting our environment.
Every new replacement battery kit that we sell extends the life of your UPS for years, at a quarter of the price of a new unit.
Recycling service:
We will be happy to recycle all of your lead-acid batteries.
Our recycling program feeds the various components of used batteries back into the battery manufacturing process, recovering the hazardous lead and chemicals so that they can be reused safely.
Indeed, batteries contain lead, sulfuric acid and other chemicals that pose a health hazard and an environmental risk if they are not recycled properly. They therefore cannot be thrown away just anywhere.
Several options are available to you
You can send us your used batteries. (All shipping methods are accepted)
1. All you have to do is pack your used batteries safely.
2. Stick on the cut-out recycling image provided or available below.
3. Send them to the address shown on the label
You can go to an auto center, a garage, or a manufacturer or large retail store that sells batteries and drop them in the bins provided for that purpose.
You can also go to a waste collection center, which will know what to do with them.
At the end of the life cycle of your UPS units or your batteries, you can count on us to recycle them.
