Eaton 9PX3000GRT-L – 3000VA Lithium-Ion Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX3000GRT-L is a 3000VA lithium-ion rack UPS built for AV and IT racks in locations that are difficult to access or infrequently maintained. As a low-maintenance UPS for remote AV rack deployments, its lithium-ion battery is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it solution, reducing the periodic battery replacement cycles common with lead-acid UPS units. This makes it a strong fit for a lithium-ion UPS for hard-to-access equipment room installation where sending a technician on-site for routine battery service is costly or impractical. Education, commercial, financial, and healthcare facilities running Cisco switches, servers, or centralized AV control racks benefit from the reduced service burden this platform is built around.

Product Description

The 9PX3000GRT-L delivers 3000VA/2700W of online double-conversion protection in a compact 2U rack/tower chassis, roughly a third the height of comparable lead-acid UPS units in the 9PX line. Its lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is rated for up to 10 years of service life, hot-swappable, and expandable with additional battery modules, which suits a commercial UPS battery backup installation where the rack is located in a network closet, ceiling space, or remote facility that is rarely visited. Output is delivered through eight C13 and two C19 outlets from an L6-20P input, giving flexibility for AV switchers, servers, and PoE network switches sharing the same rack. As a 2U rack UPS for education or government facility deployments, its smaller footprint frees up rack space compared to a 6U lead-acid equivalent of similar capacity, while its 93 percent efficiency at maximum load keeps operating costs in check. RS-232 and USB ports are standard, with an optional expansion slot available for network or Modbus connectivity where centralized monitoring is required. Because lithium-ion batteries generally tolerate more charge cycles and higher temperatures than VRLA batteries before degrading, this is a long-life battery UPS for network switches and AV control equipment installed in spaces without close environmental control.

Key Features

• Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery — Rated for up to 10 years of service life, reducing the frequency of battery replacement visits to remote or hard-to-access racks.
• Compact 2U Form Factor — Delivers 3000VA of protection in a fraction of the rack space required by comparable lead-acid UPS units.
• Hot-Swappable, Expandable Battery — Allows battery service or capacity expansion without powering down connected equipment.
• Eight C13 and Two C19 Outlets — Supports a mix of AV, server, and networking equipment power connectors from one unit.
• 93 Percent Efficiency — Keeps operating cost down over the UPS's service life, particularly relevant for continuously running remote installations.
• RS-232 and USB Connectivity — Standard ports support shutdown integration, with an optional network/Modbus expansion card available.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty — Covers parts, electronics, and batteries, reflecting the extended service life of the lithium-ion design.

Typical Applications

• Training room and multi-purpose room AV racks that receive infrequent on-site maintenance visits
• Government space equipment rooms where reduced service visits are a security or logistical benefit
• Huddle room and small conference room racks needing a compact, low-maintenance UPS footprint
• Boardroom AV equipment racks in facilities managed by a centralized, remote IT or AV team

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a lithium-ion UPS instead of a lead-acid model?

The lithium iron phosphate battery is rated for up to 10 years of service life and tolerates more charge cycles than VRLA batteries, reducing the frequency of on-site battery replacement, which matters for racks in remote or hard-to-access locations.

How much rack space does this unit require?

It fits in a 2U rack/tower chassis, roughly a third of the height of a comparable 6U lead-acid 9PX unit at similar capacity.

Can the battery be replaced without powering down the rack?

Yes, the battery module is hot-swappable, allowing service without interrupting power to connected AV or IT equipment.

What outlets does this UPS provide for AV and server equipment?

It includes eight C13 outlets and two C19 outlets, covering both standard AV/IT power connectors and higher-current server equipment.

Does this unit support remote monitoring for a facility managed off-site?

Yes, RS-232 and USB ports are standard, and an optional network/Modbus expansion card is available for centralized remote monitoring.

What warranty coverage applies?

Eaton backs this model with a 5-year limited warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries.

Can Creation Networks help plan this UPS into a remote or infrequently serviced facility?

Yes, our team can help evaluate whether the lithium-ion 9PX3000GRT-L's reduced maintenance profile fits your facility's service schedule and rack layout.
