As an expandable UPS battery pack rack-mount solution, it uses only 3U of rack space and installs in stacking, upright tower, or rackmount configurations. Facilities that need extended runtime battery for commercial UPS deployments, such as an AV rack that must survive an extended outage without shutting down, can daisy-chain multiple BP36V42-3U units to a single compatible UPS. Heavy-gauge cabling with a high-current DC connector is included for straightforward installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/bp36v423u.jpg?v=1786678433\" alt=\"Eaton BP36V42-3U external battery pack\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BP36V42-3U is a 36V DC battery pack for rack UPS systems specifically engineered to work alongside compatible Tripp Lite SmartPro units, including the SMART1500RMXL2U and SMX1500RTXL2U, rather than functioning as a standalone power device. Its multi-use form factor supports stacking configurations, upright tower placement, or standard 3U rack-mount installation, giving integrators flexibility when planning AV rack layouts that combine UPS, battery expansion, and connected equipment. An additional output connector allows multiple BP36V42-3U units to be daisy-chained together and connected to a single UPS, which is the standard approach for facilities that need substantially longer runtime than an internal battery alone can provide. Heavy-gauge cabling with a high-current DC connector is included, reducing the amount of separate cabling an installer needs to source. This 36V battery pack for AV rack UPS applications is a common upgrade path for conference room and broadcast racks that started with a base UPS unit but later determined their runtime requirements had grown, since it avoids replacing the primary UPS itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3U Rack-Mount Form Factor\u003c\/strong\u003e — installs in a standard 19-inch rack alongside the primary UPS with included 4-post mounting hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Configuration Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — supports stacking, upright tower, or rack-mount installation depending on the facility's layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaisy-Chain Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — an additional output connector allows multiple battery packs to be connected to a single compatible UPS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Gauge Cabling Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — high-current DC connector cabling ships with the unit for straightforward installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with Select SmartPro UPS Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed for Tripp Lite SmartPro units that specify this battery pack, including the SMART1500RMXL2U family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room AV racks requiring extended runtime beyond base UPS capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio racks needing long-duration backup for critical equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space AV and IT racks with extended outage requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom AV racks supporting extended-runtime UPS configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:480px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eBattery Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003e36V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003e3U rack-mount; also supports stacking and upright tower configurations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eDimensions (D x H x W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003e33 x 12 x 23 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003e174.1 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eExpansion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eDaisy-chainable with additional BP36V42-3U units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eCompatible Systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eSMART1500RMXL2U, SMX1500RTXL2U, and other Tripp Lite UPS systems that specify this battery pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc;padding:6px;\"\u003e2-year limited warranty (U.S. and Canada)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich UPS systems is the BP36V42-3U compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is designed for use with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/eaton-smart1500rmxl2u-1500va-ups-system-smartpro-rack-tower-extended-run-line-interactive-120v\"\u003eEaton SMART1500RMXL2U\u003c\/a\u003e and SMX1500RTXL2U, as well as other Tripp Lite UPS systems that specify this battery pack in their documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan multiple battery packs be connected to one UPS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
