Eaton BP72VRM2U – 72V Extended Battery Module 2U

Product Overview

The Eaton BP72VRM2U is a 72V extended battery module for rack UPS deployments, built to add runtime to compatible 2200VA and 3000VA SmartPro UPS systems. It functions as a 72V EBM for SmartPro UPS installations in small business, education, retail, financial, and healthcare environments where an outage lasting more than a few minutes needs to be covered. As a rack-mount UPS extended runtime battery pack, it installs in 2U of rack space or in a matching tower configuration alongside its host UPS, and up to four units can be daisy-chained for even longer runtime.

Product Description

Standard UPS internal batteries are sized for short-duration outages, typically a few minutes at full load, which is often not enough time to safely shut down equipment or ride out a longer utility interruption. The BP72VRM2U addresses this as a commercial UPS battery expansion 2U solution, connecting directly to compatible Eaton Tripp Lite series 2200VA and 3000VA SmartPro UPS systems via heavy-gauge cabling with high-current DC connectors included in the box. This makes it a straightforward battery backup module for AV rack UPS systems supporting servers, network switches, and AV control processors that need to stay online through extended power events, such as during a live broadcast, a lengthy board meeting, or a multi-day conference. Facilities can daisy-chain up to four matching battery packs for a longer extended-run configuration, scaling runtime to match the criticality of the load without upgrading to a larger UPS. The module supports both 4-post 19-inch rackmount installation and tower configuration with the included mounting accessories, giving integrators flexibility when designing an AV rack layout in a data closet or equipment room. Hot-swappable, user-replaceable VRLA battery cartridges simplify future maintenance, since batteries can be serviced without powering down the connected UPS or the loads it protects. This makes the BP72VRM2U a practical daisy-chain UPS battery pack for data closet and rack environments that require both reliability and long-term serviceability.
