Eaton BP36V – 36V Extended Battery Module for SmartOnline UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton BP36V is a 36V extended battery module (EBM) built to add runtime to the Tripp Lite SU1000XLCD SmartOnline tower UPS, giving IT and facilities teams a straightforward way to extend backup power without replacing the UPS itself. It's a common addition in network closets, server rooms, and small data center deployments where an extra 10-20 minutes of runtime during a utility outage prevents an unplanned shutdown. The module ships as a tower-only, 0U unit with a daisy-chain connector, so it installs alongside the existing UPS without consuming rack space. For commercial UPS battery replacement and runtime-extension projects, the BP36V is the factory-matched option for this SmartOnline UPS family.

Product Description

The BP36V is a purpose-built extended battery module designed to pair with the SU1000XLCD SmartOnline UPS, supplying an additional 36V DC of sealed VRLA battery capacity in a self-contained tower enclosure. Integrators and IT managers deploy these modules when a single UPS unit doesn't provide enough runtime to safely ride out a utility outage or bridge to a generator start, which is a frequent requirement in network closets, server rooms, and data center UPS runtime extension projects.

Because the module uses a daisy-chain connector, it connects directly to the compatible UPS with heavy-gauge, high-current battery cabling included in the box — no additional wiring or electrical work is required in most installations. The tower form factor means it sits on the floor or a shelf next to the UPS rather than occupying rack units, which matters in network closets where U-space is already tight.

The BP36V uses the same online/double-conversion UPS platform logic as its host unit, so adding the module does not change the UPS's output waveform or transfer behavior — it simply increases available battery capacity. This makes it a low-risk way to extend backup power for commercial meeting space AV racks, small server rooms, and other installations where downtime during a power event is not acceptable. Facilities and procurement teams also use the BP36V as a planned battery pack for UPS replacement and runtime upgrades when an existing SU1000XLCD deployment needs more headroom without a full UPS swap.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which UPS is the BP36V compatible with? The BP36V is designed specifically for the Tripp Lite SU1000XLCD SmartOnline UPS (2023 redesign). Confirm your UPS model number and revision before ordering, since earlier revisions may use a different EBM.
• Can I connect more than one BP36V to a single UPS? Yes. The module includes a daisy-chain connector so multiple extended battery modules can be linked together for additional runtime, subject to the host UPS's supported EBM chain limit.
• Does the BP36V require rack space? No. It's a tower-only, 0U unit that sits on the floor or a shelf next to the UPS rather than mounting in a rack.
• What's included for installation? The unit ships with heavy-gauge battery cabling and high-current 36V DC connectors, so no additional wiring is typically needed for a standard installation.
• Does adding the BP36V change the UPS's output behavior? No. It only extends battery capacity; the UPS retains its existing online/double-conversion output and transfer characteristics.
• What warranty coverage applies? The BP36V carries a 2-year factory warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries, with standard ground shipping.
• Is the BP36V suitable for data center or server room installation? Yes. It's rated for 32°F to 104°F operation and 0-96% non-condensing humidity, and it carries cTUVus and UL 1778 safety certification for commercial environments.
• How do I confirm compatibility before purchase? Check your existing SU1000XLCD UPS nameplate and revision date, or contact our team with your UPS model and serial number for a compatibility check.
