Review: Works with NS 1250 (BN1250) UPS - There's controversy over whether I needed the RBC32 or RBC33. The APC website says it is the RBC33. desertcart says it is the RBC32. The RBC33 fits and has more energy storage, so that is the one I ordered. It's been a few days, and, so far, it is working out great. The old batteries were difficult to remove because one of them had split open. Other than that, the install was a breeze. I performed a hot swap. I don't understand why, but I had to download the latest APC software to see the status. When I looked at the state of the batteries, it said that the batteries were charged 8%. I was disappointed, but it was no big deal. As soon as I forced a test of the UPS, it came back showing the batteries at 100%, so they were charged after all. It said I had 32 minutes time on battery, which sounds right. I'm pleased so far. And, the RBC33 is apparently the correct battery for the NS 1250 (BN1250) UPS, although I imagine the RBC32 would work. Review: Genuine APC Replacement - Works Great in RS1500 - Replacement was somewhat of a hassle, as my old battery had swelled, making removal a bit challenging. Otherwise - this seems to be a great battery so far for my APC RS 1500 UPS. The new battery slipped right in with no problem. Note there's an orientation to power connector: if stiff, flip it over & should easily slide into place. The battery arrived in an APC box with an APC sticker, and APC paperwork - so I'm glad it is not an imitation. As for the hot swap capabilities of the RS 1050, I didn't really care, but upon insertion, the warning light was still red. I pressed the big button in front, which normally runs a self-test. HA! But remember to *long press* for the self-test. (I gave it a short press, and it powered off) Upon re-pressing the button, the unit did a proper self-test and appears to be happy now. ## Features - For best performance and warranty support of your APC UPS, use only genuine APC replacement batteries with your APC UPS - Each APC Replacement Battery Cartridges (RBC) is tested and certified for compatibility to restore the performance of your APC UPS to original specifications - When you buy a new genuine APC RBC, you can recycle your old UPS battery via the "RBC Recycling Program" on the APC website.

It was the correct battery replacement. **Q: Hi! i have two rs1500 (br1500) apc units. they are white/beige towers. is the rbc33 the battery i need? how do i recycle the old battery packs?** A: Instructions say RBC33 works with RS and XS 1500 units. Worked fine in my XS. I expect just about any place that sells lead acid batteries will accept them for recycling **Q: Does anyone know the model of the two batteries included in the pack?** A: The batteries in the pack are CP1290. They are 12 volt, 9 ah. Dimensions are 6"L x 2.5"W x 3.625"H, not including the terminals. The terminals are F2 type. The batteries are connected in series. You can replace the batteries in the pack with two of these batteries. When I replaced the batteries in the UPS, one of the original batteries was still good; I put the good (old) battery in the security alarm, and it is still working. **Q: I am in Beijing. How much charge is needed to ship to Beijing, China.** A: This item can not be shipped to Beijing. It would be much cheaper and faster to find it locally. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with NS 1250 (BN1250) UPS *by B***T on April 18, 2022* There's controversy over whether I needed the RBC32 or RBC33.

Make sure you have the NEW version of the XS 1500, not an older one, or this won't fit out of the box. I purchased this model for my APC Back+UPS XS 1500; which is what the product description says it fits. My XS 1500 is several years old (purchased it at Circuit City back in the day), and apparently APC has kept the same name as the older models, but changed the design of the battery packs. The issue is that in the older XS 1500, the two batteries that make up the pack are side-to-side, with the terminals at the top of each unit on the same plane. With the version shipping with this product purchase it's the same two batteries, but instead of side-to-side, they are top-end-to-top-end and held together with binding cover. It only took a few minutes to disassemble the thing as received and put it together (with strong electrical tap binding the two batteries together) in a manner that fit the older unit. Once inserted and connected, it charged right up and my UPS is actually a UPS again. Overall not a big issue for someone with just a little bit of tech saavy...but also not something the average user would want to deal with. UPDATE: Time to order another one for my APC XS-1500. The item advertises 3-5 years battery life, and I'm just one month short of the 3 years mark. I'm not going to down-rate the product because of that, but wanted to warn others that this product is probably going to be on the low end of the battery longevity scale advertised. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS Battery Replacement, RBC33, for APC Back-UPS Models BT1500, BT1500BP, BR1500, BX1500, SC1000, SN1000 - APC UPS Battery Replacement, APCRBC124, for APC UPS Models BR1500G, BX1500M, BR1300G, SMC1000-2U, SMC1000-2UC, BR1500GI, BX1500G, SMC1000-2U, SMC1000-2UC, and select others - APC External Battery Pack, BR24BPG, Supplemental Battery for UPS Model BR1500G (Sold Separately) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1863251-apc-ups-battery-replacement-rbc33-for-apc-back-ups-models](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1863251-apc-ups-battery-replacement-rbc33-for-apc-back-ups-models) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
