Eaton BP24V70-3U – 24V Expandable Rack Battery Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton BP24V70-3U is a rack-mount UPS battery pack for AV rack and data closet deployments that need longer runtime than the internal battery of a compatible 24V UPS can provide alone. As an external battery pack for rack UPS systems, it connects via a heavy-gauge DC cable and daisy-chain connector to extend backup time for network gear, control processors, and AV switching equipment. It is a purpose-built commercial UPS battery backup installation component, not a standalone UPS, and is intended strictly for use with compatible Tripp Lite/Eaton 24V UPS models.

Product Description

The BP24V70-3U is a multi-use external battery module that installs in rack-mount, stacking, or upright tower configurations while occupying only 3U of rack space. It is designed to pair with a compatible Tripp Lite/Eaton 24V UPS to add extended runtime for equipment in a conference room UPS deployment, boardroom AV rack, or data closet where a longer ride-through window is required during utility outages. The unit connects using included heavy-gauge cabling terminated in a high-current DC connector, and its built-in daisy-chain connector allows multiple BP24V70-3U packs to be linked for even longer runtime on supported systems. This makes it a practical 24V expandable UPS battery solution for AV integrators standardizing on a single UPS platform across several rooms with varying runtime requirements. Because the pack shares the load and charging circuit of its host UPS, it must only be paired with UPS models the manufacturer specifies as compatible — it is not a general-purpose battery for arbitrary equipment. For commercial AV deployments where downtime during a brief power event is unacceptable, such as a boardroom videoconferencing rack or a house of worship media closet, the BP24V70-3U is the recommended path to add runtime without replacing the primary UPS.

Key Features

• 3U Rack-Mount Form Factor — Occupies only 3 rack units, preserving valuable rack space in AV racks and data closets.
• 24VDC External Battery System — Matches the internal battery voltage of compatible Tripp Lite/Eaton 24V UPS systems for direct integration.
• Daisy-Chain Expansion — Built-in connector allows multiple battery packs to be linked for additional runtime on supported UPS models.
• Multi-Use Mounting — Supports rack-mount, stacking, and upright tower configurations for flexible installation.
• Heavy-Gauge Cabling Included — High-current DC connector and cabling are included for straightforward field installation.
• Typical 4-6 Year Battery Life — VRLA battery construction is rated for a typical lifespan of 4 to 6 years in North American operating conditions.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom AV racks requiring extended runtime for videoconferencing and control equipment
• Conference room equipment closets supporting extended power protection
• Commercial meeting space AV racks where downtime during outages is unacceptable
• House of worship media and broadcast racks needing longer ride-through on brief outages

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BP24V70-3U compatible with any 24V UPS system?

No. It is designed to work only with the specific Tripp Lite/Eaton UPS models the manufacturer lists as compatible, including OMNIVS1500XL, SU750XL, SU1000XLa, and related 24V systems. Confirm your UPS model number with Creation Networks before ordering.

How much additional runtime does this battery pack provide?

Runtime depends on the connected load and host UPS model. Because the pack shares the charging circuit of the primary UPS, actual added runtime should be confirmed against the runtime chart for your specific UPS model.

Can multiple battery packs be connected together?

Yes, on supported UPS systems the BP24V70-3U includes a daisy-chain connector that allows multiple packs to be linked for extended runtime, subject to the host UPS manufacturer's stated maximum.

How is the battery pack mounted in an AV rack?

The unit ships configured for 3U rack-mount, stacking, or upright tower installation and includes heavy-gauge cabling with a high-current DC connector for a straightforward field connection to the host UPS.

What is the expected service life of the internal batteries?

Typical battery lifespan is 4 to 6 years under normal North American operating conditions, after which the VRLA batteries should be replaced to maintain rated runtime.

What warranty coverage applies to this battery pack?

It carries a 2-year limited warranty in the U.S. and Canada, and a 1-year limited warranty in international markets including Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Does Creation Networks support installation guidance for AV rack integrators?

Yes. Contact Creation Networks for compatibility confirmation, rack layout guidance, and installation support when integrating this battery pack into a commercial AV or data closet deployment.
