Eaton BP48VRXLTAA – 48V Extended Battery Module for 1500VA UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton BP48VRXLTAA is a 48V extended battery module designed to add runtime to select Eaton Tripp Lite series 1500VA SmartPro UPS systems, including the SMART1500RXLTAA. For AV integrators and IT teams running rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments in data closets or equipment rooms, this external battery module for SmartPro 1500VA UPS bridges the gap between a standard internal battery and the extended runtime a mission-critical installation needs. It daisy-chains to the host UPS and to additional battery packs, giving facilities managers a scalable path to longer backup power without replacing the primary UPS.

Product Description

This 48V extended battery module for UPS pairs with compatible SmartPro 1500VA units to substantially increase backup runtime during utility outages. It uses valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery cartridges (replacement part 744-A3297) that are hot-swappable and user-replaceable, so maintenance staff can service the module without powering down connected equipment. The 2U rack-mountable or tower-configurable chassis fits standard 19-inch racks common in AV racks, data closets, and network equipment rooms. An included auto-detection cable and daisy-chain connector let the host UPS automatically recognize the module and support additional battery packs for even longer runtime as power requirements grow. This is a purpose-built extended runtime battery pack for rack UPS environments where a brief outage cannot be allowed to interrupt AV switching, control processors, or networking gear. Facilities and AV integration teams specifying commercial-grade backup power for conference rooms, boardrooms, or broadcast control rooms rely on this class of external battery module to meet extended runtime requirements that a UPS chassis alone cannot deliver.

Key Features

• 48V VRLA Battery Design — Uses valve-regulated lead acid battery cartridges rated for reliable standby performance in rack and tower installations.
• Hot-Swappable Cartridges — Replacement battery cartridges (744-A3297) can be serviced without shutting down the connected UPS or load.
• Auto-Detection Connectivity — Included auto-detection cable lets the host SmartPro UPS automatically recognize the module at startup.
• Daisy-Chain Expansion — Supports connection of additional battery packs to further extend runtime as power needs increase.
• 2U Rack or Tower Form Factor — Fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures or stands independently in tower orientation.
• Manufacturer Warranty — Backed by a 2-year warranty (3 years with registration) in the U.S. and Canada.

Typical Applications

• Conference room and boardroom AV racks requiring extended UPS runtime
• Data closets and network equipment rooms supporting mission-critical AV or IT gear
• Broadcast control rooms and studio racks needing uninterrupted backup power
• Facilities standardizing on Eaton SmartPro UPS with scalable battery expansion
