Key Product Advantages
The APC BR24BPG external battery pack extends UPS runtime without requiring complete system replacement, making it a cost-efficient upgrade for growing power protection needs. The maintenance-free lead acid design eliminates routine battery servicing while providing reliable backup capacity.
Extended Runtime Capacity
Adding 372 VAh of battery energy significantly increases the backup duration for connected equipment during power interruptions. This extended runtime is particularly valuable for critical systems that require longer graceful shutdown periods or continued operation during brief outages.
Space-Efficient Design
With dimensions of 11.85" H × 4.41" W × 15.04" D, the compact form factor fits easily alongside existing UPS units. The stackable construction maximizes vertical space utilization in crowded server racks or equipment cabinets.
Deployment / Use Cases
The BR24BPG external battery pack is ideal for expanding the runtime of existing APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA systems in small business, branch office, and departmental server environments. When connected equipment loads have increased beyond original expectations, this external battery provides additional backup capacity without UPS replacement.
Common deployment scenarios include extending runtime for network switches, routers, security systems, point-of-sale terminals, and office workstations. The external battery configuration allows for flexible placement—either stacked with the primary UPS or positioned nearby—to accommodate space constraints in equipment racks or under-desk installations.
Server Room Expansion
Add runtime to existing APC 1500VA UPS units protecting network infrastructure, ensuring extended operation during utility interruptions for critical networking equipment.
Office Power Protection
Extend backup time for workstations, monitors, and peripherals in departmental or small office settings where power outages threaten data loss and productivity disruption.
