Eaton BP24V15RT2U – External 24V 2U Rack/Tower Battery Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton BP24V15RT2U is a 24V external battery pack designed to extend runtime on compatible expandable UPS systems used in commercial AV racks and data closets. As a 24V external battery pack for UPS deployments, it is built for rack-mount UPS battery pack installations in AV rack enclosures as well as upright tower placement. Integrators use it for extended runtime battery pack projects where a single internal UPS battery is not enough to ride out extended outages. It ships with the mounting hardware and cabling needed for a straightforward commercial UPS battery backup installation.

Product Description

The BP24V15RT2U is an external battery module for Eaton UPS systems that support 24V expansion, adding a second battery bank alongside the UPS's internal batteries. This roughly doubles available runtime, which matters when a UPS is protecting AV control processors, DSPs, switchers, or conferencing codecs that need to stay powered through a longer utility outage rather than just long enough for a graceful shutdown. Heavy-gauge cabling with a high-current DC connector is included, so the pack connects directly to the host UPS without custom wiring. Included brackets support 2U rack-mount installation in 2- or 4-post racks, and the unit can also stand upright as a tower next to a tower-format UPS, or be wall-mounted where floor and rack space are limited. This makes it a practical 2U rack tower battery pack for boardroom AV racks, conference room equipment closets, and huddle room credenzas alike. The BP24V15RT2U is TAA compliant, which matters for government and education integrators sourcing under GSA schedules. It is compatible with a specific list of Tripp Lite by Eaton UPS models rather than being universal, so confirming the host UPS model before ordering is essential for any commercial UPS battery backup installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which UPS systems is the BP24V15RT2U compatible with?

It is designed for expandable 24V UPS systems including the OMNIVS1500XL, OMNIVSINT1500XL, SMART1500LCDXL, SMART750RMXL2U, SU750RTXL2U, SU1000XLA, and other models that specify its use. Confirm your specific UPS model number before ordering.

Can this battery pack be installed in an existing AV rack without additional tools?

Yes. It includes mounting brackets for 2U rack installation in 2- or 4-post racks along with the DC cable and connector, so a technician can mount and connect it during a standard rack build-out.

Does adding this battery pack void the UPS warranty?

No. It is designed as a supported accessory for the listed UPS models and is intended to be added without affecting the UPS unit's own warranty coverage.

How much additional runtime does the BP24V15RT2U provide?

Runtime extension depends on the connected UPS model and its load, since the pack adds a second 24V battery bank in parallel with the UPS's internal batteries. Consult the compatible UPS's documentation for load-specific runtime tables.

Is this pack suitable for government or GSA Schedule purchases?

Yes. The BP24V15RT2U is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal and GSA Schedule procurement.

What support does Creation Networks provide after purchase?

Creation Networks can help confirm UPS compatibility before you order and assist with installation questions for your AV rack or data closet deployment.
