how to install BTI Replacement Battery RBC23

For best results, perform installation with the UPS powered down and disconnected from any loads. Follow the steps below to ensure a safe, correct replacement that preserves battery life and UPS performance.

• Power down the APC UPS and unplug it from the wall outlet. If the UPS has connected equipment, temporarily disconnect or power down those devices to prevent any strain on the system during the replacement.
• Open the battery compartment access door and disconnect the old battery. Note how the connectors are oriented so you can reproduce the configuration when wiring the new RBC23 replacement.
• Remove the old battery cartridge from the enclosure. Handle carefully to avoid any accidental short circuits or damage to the connectors inside the compartment.
• Position the new BTI RBC23 battery cartridge into the compartment, aligning with the mounting points and terminal connectors. Secure the battery as required by your UPS enclosure (screws or fasteners, if applicable).
• Connect the battery terminals to the UPS wiring harness, ensuring a firm, proper connection. Double-check that polarity and connector type match the original setup to prevent improper operation.
• Close the battery compartment, reattach the access door, and reconnect the UPS to power. Allow the UPS to perform a short self-test and begin charging the new battery. Monitor the status indicators to confirm a healthy battery presence and expected runtime.
• Test the system under light load to verify operation. If the UPS reports any fault codes, consult the user manual or BTI support resources for guidance and confirm that the new battery is functioning correctly.
