Replacement batteries for the APC Smart-UPS 2200VA family. For the SMT2200 tower and compatible 2200VA Smart-UPS towers, the standard APC cartridge is the APC RBC55 (a 48V pack of 12V 17Ah blocks, one cartridge); the 2U rack SMT2200RM2U uses the RBC43.
The APC Smart-UPS 2200VA towers use the RBC55 cartridge, sealed lead-acid (SLA / VRLA, AGM chemistry), hot-swappable. APC lists the RBC43 for the 2U rack SMT2200RM2U, the APCRBC143 for the Smart-UPS X SMX2200HVNC and the RBC57 for the Smart-UPS RT 2200 (SURTA2200XL). Always confirm the cartridge code on your existing battery label before ordering.
After installation, calibrate the UPS via PowerChute or front-panel cycle, see our UPS battery calibration guide. For multi-unit fleet on-site replacement, our service partner covers Canada-wide. Not sure which model you have? Our Smart-UPS battery finder by model number shows where the label is and how to read the serial date code.
The APC Smart-UPS 2200 (2200 VA line-interactive) protects servers, networking and other critical loads. Its batteries are a 48 V sealed lead-acid (VRLA) system that wears out after about 3 to 5 years and then needs replacement to restore full runtime. The exact replacement depends on your specific Smart-UPS 2200 model and generation, confirm yours below before ordering.

| Model generation | Replacement | Pack voltage |
|---|---|---|
| SMT2200, SMT2200C, SMT2200RM2U, SMT3000 (and SMX3000) | RBC55 (SMT2200, SMT2200C); RBC43 (SMT2200RM2U); APCRBC55 (SMT3000); SMX3000: check the unit label | 48 V |
| Legacy SU2200, SU2200R3X…, SU2200RM3U | 48 V replacement battery set | 48 V |
Amp-hour rating varies by generation, so match by your exact model number rather than VA rating alone. Not sure which you have? The model number is on the rear or side label, send it to us and we'll confirm the correct pack.
Read the model number on the unit's rear or side label (for example SMT2200RM2U or SU2200R3X106). Newer SMT tower models take the RBC55 cartridge (SMT2200, SMT2200C) and the rack SMT2200RM2U takes RBC43; the legacy SU-series takes a 48 V battery set. APC reuses designs across many SKUs, so your exact model number is the reliable key.
Both restore full runtime. APC OEM: cartridge supplied by APC, with the manufacturer's warranty. Compatible aftermarket: the same 48 V form factor and connector, with a 1-year UPSPLUSBATTERY warranty.
APC gives 3 to 5 years in a normal 20 to 25 °C environment. Heat is the main life-shortener: service life roughly halves for every ~8 °C of sustained operation above 25 °C, so a unit in a warm rack or closet may need batteries sooner. See when to replace a UPS battery.
Smart-UPS 2200 batteries are user-replaceable and hot-swappable on current models (check the user manual): the UPS keeps protecting the load during the swap.
See how to install a UPS battery.
The SMT2200, SMT2200C and SMT3000 use the RBC55 cartridge (APCRBC55), a 48 V VRLA pack; the rack SMT2200RM2U uses RBC43. For an SMX3000, check the unit label (APC lists APCRBC143 for the SMX3000HV). Confirm against your model label.
Legacy SU2200 models (for example SU2200R3X or SU2200RM3U) take a 48 V replacement battery set. Send us your model number and we'll match it.
For an in-warranty unit, check the APC warranty terms first. Out of warranty, a compatible 48 V pack matched on voltage, capacity and connectors is the usual choice, with a 1-year warranty.
Every 3 to 5 years; sooner in warm or poorly-ventilated spaces.
