Product Overview
The Eaton BP36V27-2US is a 36V external UPS battery pack built to extend runtime on select Tripp Lite by Eaton Smart UPS systems used to protect commercial AV racks, network closets, and server rooms. Compatible only with UPS models that specifically call for this battery pack, it functions as an extended runtime battery pack for rack UPS deployments where additional backup time is needed beyond the base UPS capacity. As a 2U external battery module for commercial UPS installations, it mounts in standard rack space or beside a matching tower UPS, giving integrators a hot-swappable UPS battery pack option for scaling runtime without a full UPS replacement.
Product Description

The BP36V27-2US is a 36V DC battery expansion for AV rack UPS systems including the SMART1000RMXL2U, SMART1200XLHG, SMART1500RMXL2UA, SMART1500RMXLN, SMART1500XL, SMX1200XLHG, and SMX1500XLRT2U models. It is important to confirm compatibility before ordering, as the manufacturer specifies that this pack works only with UPS systems that explicitly support it, unlike a universal battery accessory. In an AV integration context, extending runtime with a battery pack like the BP36V27-2US allows a facility to bridge a longer utility outage before switching to generator power, or to extend the graceful shutdown window for conferencing systems, DSPs, and rack-mounted switchers protected by the host UPS. The pack mounts in 2U of standard 19-inch rack space using the included mounting hardware, keeping the added capacity within the same rack footprint as the rest of the AV power chain. Its hot-swappable UPS battery pack design allows the internal batteries to be serviced without fully powering down the connected UPS, reducing maintenance downtime for protected equipment in a data closet or equipment room.
