Eaton BP72RT – 72V Extended Battery Module for SmartOnline UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton BP72RT is a 72V extended battery module for SmartOnline UPS systems, designed to add supplemental runtime to Tripp Lite by Eaton's SU2200RTXLCD2U, SU3000RTXLCD2U, and related SmartOnline double-conversion UPS models. As a 2U rack battery expansion module, it connects directly to the host UPS to extend backup time for network equipment, servers, and AV control gear in commercial UPS battery module for data closet deployments. For facilities running double-conversion UPS protection on critical infrastructure, this module provides SmartOnline UPS runtime extension without replacing the primary UPS unit.

Product Description

The BP72RT is built specifically for the 2023-redesigned SmartOnline UPS lineup, including the SU2200RTXLCD2U, SU2200RTXLCDN, SU3000RTXLCD2U, SU3000RTXLCD2UN, SUINT2200LCD2U, and SUINT3000LCD2U models, providing a 72V DC extended battery module using internal sealed lead-acid batteries; the exact battery cell count and wiring configuration should be confirmed against the manufacturer spec sheet before specifying a project. This extended runtime battery for double-conversion UPS deployments matters most in facilities where a longer bridging window is required to allow for generator startup, orderly system shutdown, or simply riding out a longer utility outage than the base UPS alone can support. In a data closet or AV equipment room, adding this module lets an integrator scale runtime capacity to match the criticality of the load without stepping up to a larger UPS chassis. The 2U rack/tower form factor keeps the added battery capacity within a manageable footprint, though the deeper 23.82-inch chassis depth should be confirmed against available rack depth before ordering. Because the module ships as a direct extension of the host SmartOnline UPS, it does not require separate charging electronics or configuration beyond the physical connection.

Key Features

• 72V DC Extended Battery Capacity — Delivers additional 72V DC battery capacity to the host SmartOnline UPS; confirm the exact internal battery cell configuration against the manufacturer spec sheet.
• Direct Compatibility with Current SmartOnline Models — Engineered for the SU2200RTXLCD2U, SU2200RTXLCDN, SU3000RTXLCD2U, SU3000RTXLCD2UN, SUINT2200LCD2U, and SUINT3000LCD2U UPS systems.
• 2U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Mounts in standard 19-inch rack space or matches a compatible tower UPS enclosure.
• 2-Year Limited Warranty with Optional Extended Coverage — Includes optional 5-year onsite service plans for critical infrastructure deployments.
• No Separate Charging Circuitry Required — Draws charging current from the host UPS, simplifying installation.

Typical Applications

• Government space data closets requiring extended double-conversion UPS runtime
• Broadcast studio equipment rooms needing longer backup windows during utility outages
• Commercial meeting space and boardroom AV racks protected by a SmartOnline UPS requiring extended shutdown time

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SmartOnline UPS models work with the BP72RT?

The BP72RT is designed for the current-generation SmartOnline models: SU2200RTXLCD2U, SU2200RTXLCDN, SU3000RTXLCD2U, SU3000RTXLCD2UN, SUINT2200LCD2U, and SUINT3000LCD2U. Confirm your UPS model and revision before ordering.

How much rack depth do I need to install this module?

The BP72RT requires a minimum rack depth of 27 inches due to its 23.82-inch unit depth; confirm available rack depth before specifying this module in a project.

Does this module require separate battery charging hardware?

No. The module connects to the host SmartOnline UPS and draws charging current from the UPS's existing charger circuitry.

Is extended service coverage available for this module?

Yes. Beyond the standard 2-year limited warranty, optional extended service plans including 5-year onsite coverage are available for critical infrastructure deployments.

Can I install more than one BP72RT on a single UPS?

Contact Creation Networks to confirm the maximum supported battery expansion for your specific SmartOnline UPS model before planning a multi-module installation.

Does Creation Networks provide support for sizing UPS runtime for a commercial AV rack?

Yes. Contact Creation Networks for help calculating the runtime needed for your protected load and confirming compatibility with your existing SmartOnline UPS deployment.
