Deployment / Use Cases
This battery unit is ideal for extending the runtime of APC Symmetra LX UPS systems in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where prolonged backup power is essential. It connects directly to the UPS or an existing XR frame to enhance power protection during extended outages.
Common deployments include supporting rack-mounted servers, storage arrays, and networking gear in environments with unreliable grid power or where generator start-up delays require interim battery support. The tower form factor suits floor placement in equipment rooms, and daisy-chaining multiple frames can tailor runtime to specific load requirements.
Data Center Runtime Extension
Connect to Symmetra LX UPS systems to provide additional minutes or hours of backup for servers and storage during power disturbances, bridging gaps until generators take over.
Network Infrastructure Support
Ensure continuous operation of switches, routers, and telephony systems in branch offices or colocation facilities where power fluctuations are common.
Physical Profile
The tower design measures 23.70 inches in height, 19.02 inches in width, and 28.58 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 769.63 pounds. Its black finish blends with standard IT equipment, and the robust construction supports stable floor placement in server rooms or data centers.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 23.70" (602 mm), 19.02" (483 mm), 28.58" (726 mm), 769.63 lb (349098.30 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
