Product & Buying FAQs
Are the APC UPS and batteries sold here 100% genuine?
Yes. We are an authorised APC by Schneider Electric India partner store. Every UPS, RBC battery and warranty pack is 100% genuine, factory-sealed, and comes with the full manufacturer warranty and a GST invoice.
Which APC RBC replacement battery fits my UPS?
Match the battery to your UPS model number. For example, APC Back-UPS Pro BR1000G-IN and BR1500G-IN use the RBC124 / RBC144 cartridge, while 600VA to 1100VA Back-UPS models use a 7Ah/12V RBC2 battery. Share your UPS model on +91 95133 93373 and we will confirm the exact replacement battery.
How do I choose the right APC UPS (VA rating) for my devices?
Add up the wattage of the devices you want to back up, then pick a UPS that comfortably exceeds it. As a guide, a 600-700VA Back-UPS suits a Wi-Fi router and a single desktop, 1100VA suits a full desktop setup, and 1000-1500VA Back-UPS Pro models suit workstations. Tell us your devices and we will size it for you.
What is the difference between an online UPS and a line-interactive Back-UPS?
An online (double-conversion) Smart-UPS continuously delivers clean, pure sine-wave power with zero transfer time, ideal for servers and critical equipment. A line-interactive Back-UPS is more economical and is well suited to home and office PCs, routers and CCTV.
Do you provide UPS installation, battery replacement and AMC?
Yes. We offer UPS installation, genuine RBC battery replacement, onsite service and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC). Call +91 95133 93373 for details.
Do you sell genuine APC extended warranty packs?
Yes. We supply official APC extended warranty packs that add 1 to 3 years of genuine manufacturer cover. We will match the right pack to your exact UPS model or series.
How long will an APC UPS battery backup last?
Backup time depends on the connected load: a light load such as a router and modem can run for an hour or more, while a full desktop draws more power and runs for several minutes. A genuine APC RBC battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years before it needs replacing.
