Product Features
Technical Overview
This extended battery module is built around a robust lead-acid battery bank, configured to deliver 72 volts DC to compatible SmartOnline UPS systems. The valve-regulated design minimizes maintenance and prevents electrolyte leakage, making it suitable for installation in office or data center environments. The module is explicitly designed for hot-swapping, permitting trained personnel to replace the battery unit while the UPS remains online and supporting the connected load.
The electrical interface is straightforward, connecting via the supplied external battery cable to extend the DC bus of the host UPS. This integration allows the UPS to utilize the additional battery capacity transparently, extending runtime proportionally based on the connected load. The module operates effectively within a standard temperature range of 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
Relevant factors for this section include Battery Characteristics, Battery Chemistry, Hot Swappable, Minimum Operating Temperature. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The BP72RT EBM delivers tangible benefits for UPS runtime management and system longevity. Its primary advantage is the restoration of full backup capacity to a UPS whose original internal batteries may have weakened over time, effectively renewing the system's performance without replacing the entire UPS unit.
Hot-swappable Design
Enables battery replacement without interrupting the protected load. IT staff can perform maintenance during business hours without causing downtime.
- No system shutdown required
- Supports continuous uptime
Extended Runtime Capacity
Adds substantial battery reserve to compatible SmartOnline UPS systems, directly increasing the available backup time for connected equipment during a utility power failure.
Rack-Optimized Form Factor
The 2U height fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures, conserving valuable data center space. The included rack-mounting hardware facilitates secure installation.
- Standard 19-inch rack width
- Includes mounting hardware
Deployment / Use Cases
This extended battery module is deployed as a strategic upgrade or replacement component for existing Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS infrastructure. It is ideal for environments where the original UPS batteries are approaching end-of-life but the UPS electronics remain fully functional, offering a cost-effective alternative to a complete system replacement.
Common deployment scenarios include server rooms, network closets, and telecom installations where extended backup runtime is necessary to complete orderly shutdowns or ride through short-term power disturbances. The module is compatible with specific Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS models, including the SU2200RTXLCD2U, SU3000RTXLCD2U, SUINT2200LCD2U, and SUINT3000LCD2U series, among others listed in the specifications.
UPS Runtime Extension
Deploy this EBM to add backup minutes or hours to a compatible UPS, ensuring critical systems have sufficient time to shut down gracefully or remain operational during an outage.
Battery Refresh for Aging UPS
Use this module to replace depleted internal batteries in a SmartOnline UPS, restoring it to like-new backup performance and postponing capital expenditure on a new UPS.
Physical Profile
The module is engineered for density and stability in a rack environment. It occupies 2U (3.41 inches) of vertical rack space, with a width of 17.33 inches to fit standard 19-inch rack frames. The depth of 23.82 inches provides a stable footprint, and the unit's approximate weight of 86.4 pounds reflects its substantial lead-acid battery content. The design includes integrated handles or features to aid installation and removal from the rack.
