About Tripp Lite Batteries

What is a Tripp Lite UPS replacement battery?

Every Tripp Lite UPS uses sealed lead-acid (SLA) cartridges in a defined Tripp Lite part number — the RBC series for tower and rack/tower cartridges (RBC51, RBC53-2U, RBC54-2U, RBC93-2U, RBC94-2U, RBC96-2U) and the BP series for external battery packs that snap onto the UPS for runtime extension. The cartridge or pack number is on the unit label and listed in the user manual.

UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA stocks compatible aftermarket cartridges across the Tripp Lite range. For full Tripp Lite UPS catalog see Tripp Lite UPS; broader cross-brand replacement-battery catalog at all UPS replacement batteries; full RBC selection guidance at Tripp Lite RBC guide.
