Question 1

Does battery come with connector?

Accepted Answer

I don't recall if it has a connector on a pigtail or if the connector on the unit just plugs into the battery. Regardless I did not need any additional items nor did I swap anything off the old battery. Just popped the old one out and the new one it. Hope that helps.

Question 2

Does this come with the attached connector?

Accepted Answer

No. The connecting cable is attached to the Unit itself.
The battery has the post connectors to attach to the connecting cable.

Question 3

weight?

Accepted Answer

According to APC, the bare battery pack is a shade over 25 pounds.  With the extensive packaging, the shipping weight is closer to 30 pounds.

Question 4

I need this for my APC Smart UPS 1500. How many for this battery do I need?

Accepted Answer

The battery cartridge (RBC7) is actually two 12 volt batteries glued together and wired in series to form a single 24 volt unit.  You only need one RBC7 cartridge inside a regular APC SmartUPS 1500.

Question 5

Capacity? (mAh)

Accepted Answer

A little tricky.  The RBC7 actually consists of TWO batteries connected in series to give a nominal 24 volts (actually 27 v fully charged).  Each of the two batteries is 18 Amp Hours (AH).  To answer your question more precisely, the RBC7 as designed can store 18,000 mAh at 24 volts.  It is possible (but not advised) to replace the connectors at the top of the RBC7 to effect a parallel wiring of the two batteries which would give you 36 Amp Hours or 36,000 mAh at 12 volts.  Wired in parallel the RBC7 would not work in an APC UPS.

The two batteries are glued together.  Don't even think about separating them -- you're more likely to crack one of the batteries and end up with a mess.

Question 6

IS THIS THE CORRECT BATTERY FOR THE APC SMART UPS 750?

Accepted Answer

No - the RBC7 is way too big for the 750.   I believe the correct battery for the APC SmartUPS 750 is the RBC48

Question 7

Does it come with fuses & wires included, or do we need to save the ones from our old battery?

Accepted Answer

It comes complete and ready to use. I only saved stuff in case i wanted to "build my own".

I unboxed the battery and was able to install it right away.
You can ship the dead one for recycling at no cost to you.
