Product Overview
The Eaton BP48V27-2US is a 48VDC external battery pack built to extend runtime on select AVR online UPS systems, such as the SMX2200XLRT2U and SM2200RMXL2UP series. As an external battery pack for online UPS deployments in AV racks and network equipment rooms, it automatically configures to the host UPS and daisy-chains with additional packs for scalable backup power. This 2U rack tower battery pack for UPS expansion is a practical fit for facilities running always-on online double-conversion UPS systems that require longer runtime than the internal battery alone provides.
Product Description

The BP48V27-2US connects to compatible 48V AVR online UPS systems via a blue 2-point DC connector, automatically configuring itself to the host UPS without manual programming. This 48VDC external battery pack for AVR online UPS installations is built in a 2U rack/tower form factor with included hardware for 4-post 19-inch rackmount installation, and optional adapters are available for 2-post rack or wall mounting where rack space is constrained. A daisy-chain connector allows additional battery packs to be added as power requirements grow, giving AV integrators and facilities managers a scalable path to extended runtime for boardroom AV racks, training room equipment closets, or auditorium control rooms running on online UPS protection. The unit requires a minimum 26-inch rack depth, so this extended runtime battery for network rack UPS deployment should be confirmed against available rack space before installation. Typical battery lifespan is 4-6 years under normal North American operating conditions, and the unit carries CE and RoHS compliance for use in commercial and institutional facilities.
