In this video, we will be demonstrating how Raion Group assembles a brand new replacement RBC12 cartridge for APC UPS backup systems. The fully assembled kit along with individual parts are linked in the description below for your reference. Fully Assembled RBC12 Battery Kit:
The things you will need are:
8 12V 7Ah Raion Power RG1270T2 batteries with T2 terminals.
RG1270T2:
Optionally, you can get 8 12V 8Ah Raion Power RG1280T2 batteries with T2 terminals for an additional 14% longer run time when compared to the 7Ah battery.
RG1280T2:
Optionally, you can get 8 12V 9Ah Raion Power RG1290T2 batteries with T2 terminals for an additional 22% longer run time when compared to the 7Ah battery.

We recommend using 2 brand new RBC12 wiring harness sets. Older cables may have corrosion or weak connections which can affect the performance of your system.
Double sided heavy duty adhesive tape.
The first step is to measure the voltage of each battery to make sure the voltage is above 12.6V. When you purchase the entire kit or batteries alone, we ensure the batteries are voltage matched and are from the same manufacturing batch.
Each RBC12 set consists of two cartridges, and each cartridge is made up of 4 batteries. For this video, we will not actually be sticking the batteries together, but you will need to if you are assembling yourself.
Carefully follow along as to how we connect the battery wires to each terminal. Incorrectly connecting the wire can cause sparks to fly and potential damage to the batteries. There is a diagram linked in the blog post below which you can reference as well.
You will need to repeat the assembly steps for the second RBC12 battery cartridge prior to installing in your APC backup UPS system.
