Built for data center, server room, and network closet deployments, this 2U rack-mount battery pack integrates directly with compatible UPS units to provide additional backup power during extended outages. Integrators sizing a UPS battery expansion for a commercial deployment can daisy-chain up to ten of these packs off a single compatible UPS for scalable runtime. The unit ships with 4-post rack-mount hardware, making it a straightforward addition to an existing rack-mount UPS installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial IT environments running mission-critical equipment need UPS runtime that scales with the load, not a fixed battery that eventually falls short. The BP72V18-2US external battery pack addresses that gap by adding a dedicated 72V VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid) battery bank alongside a compatible Eaton UPS, rather than forcing a full UPS replacement when runtime requirements grow. It's purpose-built for the SU3000LCD2UHV and SU3000LCD2UHVTF UPS systems, and the included daisychain connector lets integrators add multiple packs in sequence to reach the runtime a facility actually needs. At 2U and roughly 88 lbs, it mounts into a standard 19-inch rack using the included 4-post hardware, keeping the footprint consistent with the rest of a data center or network closet rack elevation. This makes it a practical fit for facilities and IT managers planning a UPS battery expansion during a data center buildout, a server room refresh, or a network closet upgrade where downtime is not an option. Because it's a purpose-matched OEM battery pack rather than a generic replacement, it maintains the UPS manufacturer's charge and monitoring compatibility, which matters for procurement teams standardizing on Eaton power protection across a facility. The VRLA battery chemistry is sealed and maintenance-free, suitable for enclosed rack environments. Operating range is rated 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F) with 0-95% non-condensing humidity, consistent with typical server room and data center conditions. Integrators specifying UPS runtime extension for government facilities, broadcast studios, or other always-on commercial environments can rely on this pack as a drop-in capacity add rather than a custom power solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e72V VRLA Battery Bank\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sealed, maintenance-free valve-regulated lead-acid battery chemistry built for continuous rack-mount duty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2U Rack\/Tower Form Factor\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fits standard 19-inch rack elevations or tower UPS configurations without a custom enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaisychain Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — Included daisychain connector supports adding up to 10 battery packs to a single compatible UPS for scalable runtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-Post Rack-Mount Hardware Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ships with the mounting hardware needed for rack installation, reducing separate parts sourcing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose-Matched UPS Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed specifically for the Eaton SU3000LCD2UHV and SU3000LCD2UHVTF UPS systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade Operating Range\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rated for 0° to 40°C and 0-95% non-condensing humidity, matching typical server room and data center conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Year Limited Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Backed by Eaton's standard limited warranty for commercial deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServer room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork closet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBP72V18-2US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRack Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (D x H x W)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.9 in x 3.5 in x 17.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88.2 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible UPS Models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSU3000LCD2UHV, SU3000LCD2UHVTF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10 battery packs per compatible UPS via daisychain connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2U rack-mount, 4-post installation hardware included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 deg to 40 deg C (32 deg to 104 deg F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelative Humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-95%, non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE Marked, RoHS compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-year limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich UPS systems is the BP72V18-2US compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is designed specifically for the Eaton SU3000LCD2UHV and SU3000LCD2UHVTF rack\/tower UPS systems.
