• Warranty: Includes a 1 year replacement warranty that gives short-term protection against defects or premature failure.
• Lifetime expectancy: Rated for an expected 3-5 years of service under normal operating conditions, offering predictable lifecycle planning.

Who It's For

This replacement pack is aimed at IT administrators, small business owners, and home office users who already own an APC SC1500 and need a like-for-like battery pack to restore runtime. It is also suitable for anyone who prefers a pack that is complete out of the box and does not require assembly or battery selection.
