APC Replacement Battery Cartridge #132 for Smart-UPS SMT1000RMI2U & SMC1500I-2U
Genuine APC RBC7 AhSmart-UPS / Smart-UPS C rackFully assembled
The APC Replacement Battery Cartridge #132 is Schneider Electric's genuine 7 Ah sealed lead-acid battery for the Smart-UPS SMT1000RMI2U & SMC1500I-2U, made to restore a UPS with a worn battery to its original runtime. It is for anyone whose UPS has started beeping for a battery replacement, fails its self-test or shuts down early during a power cut.
APC RBC cartridges are tested and certified by APC for compatibility with the UPS models they are listed for, so the UPS charges, monitors and reports the new battery exactly as it did when new. A UPS battery is a consumable: heat, frequent outages and age wear it out, and once its capacity drops the UPS can no longer carry your equipment through even a short interruption. Schneider quotes a typical lifetime of 3–5 years for this cartridge.
It is also listed for: SMC1500-2U, SMC1500I-2U, SMT1000RM2U, SMT1000RMI2U.
Before you order: Schneider now lists APCRBC157 (same size) for SMC1500I-2U(C) and SMT1000RMI2UC. If your UPS label ends in "C" (SmartConnect), ask us before ordering. Always check the UPS part number on its label, not just the VA rating.
What's in the Box
- 1 x APC Replacement Battery Cartridge #132
- All required connectors
- Battery recycling guide
- Installation guide
- Metallic battery tray (the blocks come mounted in it)
- Reusable packaging
What It Means in Practice
- Restores the runtime of your existing UPS, so it is much cheaper than replacing a UPS that is otherwise healthy.
- Sealed, valve-regulated lead-acid design: no topping up, no maintenance, no acid to handle.
- The blocks come pre-mounted on a metallic tray, so you slide out the old tray and slide in the new one. No rewiring of individual blocks.
- Weight is 10 kg. Plan for a firm grip, and for rack units, support the cartridge as you pull it out.
- After fitting, let the UPS charge the new battery fully and run a self-test so the runtime estimate recalibrates.
- The old battery is lead-acid and must not go in household waste. Take it to an authorised battery collection point.
What Will Not Work
- UPS models that are not listed for RBC #132. Cartridges differ in voltage, size and connector even within the same APC family.
- It will not repair a UPS with a faulty charger or electronics. If the UPS still fails its self-test with a new battery, the UPS itself needs service.
- It will not give more runtime than the UPS had when new. For longer runtime you need a model with external battery-pack support.
- Non-APC UPS brands, even when the battery voltage looks the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Battery wear is the most common reason a UPS fails during an outage, and the cartridge is usually the only part that needs replacing. If your UPS is otherwise healthy, RBC #132 is the clean fix. If it has already been through two or more battery replacements, compare the cost with a new unit in our UPS range.
✓ Buy it if your UPS part number appears in the compatibility list and the UPS beeps for battery replacement, fails its self-test or cuts out early.
✕ Skip it if your UPS model is not listed, or the UPS fails even with a known-good battery. That points to the UPS itself.
→ Also consider a new UPS from our range if your unit is near end of life, or an external battery pack if your model supports one and you need more runtime.
Not sure which battery your UPS needs? Send us the UPS model and serial number from the label on the back or underside, and we will confirm the right cartridge before you order.
