It functions as a 2U rack-mount UPS battery expansion, connecting directly to a supported UPS to add supplemental battery capacity without requiring a separate charger or inverter. For AV integrators and facilities teams that need extended runtime battery for commercial UPS deployments protecting switchers, DSPs, and rack-mounted control equipment, this pack is a straightforward way to add runtime headroom. It ships with rack hardware and heavy-gauge cabling for a direct connection to the host UPS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/bp36v152u.jpg?v=1786678452\" alt=\"Eaton BP36V15-2U 36V external battery pack for Smart UPS\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BP36V15-2U is a 36V DC external battery pack for UPS systems built to occupy 2U of rack space alongside its host unit, or to sit in a matching tower enclosure next to a tower-configured UPS. It is limited to one BP36V15-2U per compatible UPS and is intended for use with expandable-runtime Smart UPS models such as the SMART1200XLHG, SMART1500RMXL2U, SMART1500XL, SMX1200XLHG, and SMX1500XLRT2U families. In a commercial AV rack, extending runtime with an external battery pack for UPS equipment matters most when a facility needs enough backup time to gracefully shut down conferencing codecs, DSPs, network switches, and control processors rather than simply riding out a momentary outage. This is a common requirement in conference room AV racks, data closets, and multi-room AV installations where an unplanned power event can otherwise interrupt a live meeting or broadcast feed. Because the pack draws on the same charging circuitry as the host UPS, no separate charger, software configuration, or additional wiring is required beyond the supplied connector cable. The 2U rack-mount UPS battery expansion form factor keeps the added capacity in the same rack footprint as the rest of the AV power infrastructure, which simplifies planning for integrators sizing out a rack elevation. Facilities managers replacing an aging or undersized runtime battery for commercial UPS gear will find this a direct extension of the existing Smart UPS install rather than a full system replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e36V DC External Battery Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e — The pack supplies
