Scott Albrecht: Bought in 2018 I installed the batteries in an APC SMT-3000 backup unit that was under light load the entire time. Lifespan was rated at 3-5 years and they lasted 5 years. Giving three stars because they are very expensive -significantly more so than generic- and both batteries leaked. The latter being a big issue.

This time went with a generic brand found at BatteriesPlus+. Saved over $130 dollars plus picked up same day which was super important for me. Note, you can also find highly reviewed generic versions for even less money than I paid on Amazon.

MCM: The batteries were as advertised, installation went smoothly which was good because I was on the floor under a desk, and the batteries arrived early - a bonus for those of us with delayed gratification issues.

Andrea: Sono le batterie originali APC, montaggio semplice durano qualche anno, unico neo costano davvero troppo, ma il gioco vale la candela...

RegnalfRegnalf: Da bei diesem Artikel anscheinend sehr viele Marketplace Händler nur Nachbauten verkaufen, kann ich nur bestätigen das man von Amazon die Original Ersatzbatterie RBC55 von APC erhält (Siehe angefügtes Foto: Links Ersatzbatterie Amazon, Rechts Original APC RBC55 beim Kauf der gesamten USV 2200I).
Auch der erste Test unter Last war wie zu erwarten ohne Probleme und zeigte noch genügend Restlaufzeit an wie ich es von der USV gewohnt war.

Ich bin aber vollkommen der Meinung mancher Kunden das diese Produkt-Politik äußerst irreführend ist. Wenn es sich um Noname oder Nicht-Original Batterien handelt sollten diese auch als eigenes Produkt auf Amazon geführt werden. Ich habe den Satz mit der Info: "Original APC USV Ersatzakku - wenn Sie ein original APC by Schneider Electric Produkt erhalten möchten, kaufen Sie nur wenn angegeben ist: Verkauf und Versand von Amazon" auch erst gelesen als ich bei anderen Rezensionen darauf hingewiesen wurde.

Joseph C.: Star rating based on lack of information in Amazon's description and APC's specifications, NOT based on quality of the product.

When I compared these RBC55's to the RBC11's, the specs looked exactly the same based on capacity, physical size, and life. Unfortunately, it turned out that the RBC55's actually have smaller connectors than the RBC11's, which mean that they wouldn't fit into the old UPS for which I'd purchased them. APC's site did not make this clear at all, especially since newer models of the UPS we're using are actually using the RBC55's now. Very confusing. Had to return these and get the RBC11's.

I'd love to see Amazon update their description to include information about terminal size and the models which this battery will fit.

John: I purchased the RBC55 for the company's UPS. As far as their UPSs are concerned, APC has been a very good and reliable company. These battery cartribdges were extremely easy to install. The only difficult part so far has been trying to figure out what to do with the old batteries. We're trying to figure out how we are supposed to dispose of them. It would have been super convenient for APC to let us use the same packaging to send the old batteries back so that they could recycle them. It's just a thought. I don't know if there's a value proposition in it for them. Other than that, I've got no complaints.
