This extended battery module for UPS installations mounts in 2U of rack space and connects to the primary UPS with daisy-chain cabling, making it a practical 48V external battery pack for rack UPS deployments where an outage lasting longer than the internal battery's runtime would interrupt broadcast, AV, or network operations. It's built for the same rack footprint as the UPS it supports, so integrators can add runtime without redesigning the rack elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/bp48rt.jpg?v=1786678392\" alt=\"Eaton BP48RT 48V extended battery module for UPS\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2U rack battery module for SmartOnline UPS systems uses valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries to add runtime beyond what the UPS's internal battery provides, which matters in installations where an extended outage could interrupt a broadcast studio feed, an AV control system, or networking equipment in a data closet. Heavy-gauge 48V DC cabling and daisy-chain connectors allow multiple BP48RT modules to be stacked for even longer runtime on larger loads. The module is compatible with select redesigned SmartOnline UPS systems, including SU1500RTXLCD2U, SU1500RTXLCDN, SUINT1000LCD2U, and SUINT1500LCD2U, and shares the same 2U rack footprint as those UPS units, so it integrates cleanly into an existing rack elevation without custom mounting. Rack-mounting hardware and the external battery cable ship with the unit. This is a common addition for commercial UPS battery backup installation projects where the AV or IT rack supports systems that can't tolerate a hard shutdown mid-outage, such as a broadcast studio playout chain or a boardroom AV control processor running through an extended power event. Operating temperature and humidity ratings match commercial equipment room environments, and the module carries FCC, CE, cTUVus, and UL 1778 certifications for use in professional installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48V DC VRLA Battery Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adds runtime beyond the UPS's
