Eaton BP96V – 96V Extended Battery Module for SmartOnline UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton BP96V is a 96V extended battery module designed to extend UPS runtime for AV rack systems and critical infrastructure powered by the SU2200XLCD or SU3000XLCD SmartOnline UPS. As an extended battery module for UPS deployments needing longer ride-through time, it supports daisy-chaining up to four battery packs for commercial UPS runtime extension in facilities where an extended outage cannot mean downtime. This makes it well suited for conference room, boardroom, and data closet installations running SmartOnline UPS systems that protect essential AV and network infrastructure.

Product Description

The BP96V is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) tower battery pack for SU2200XLCD SU3000XLCD systems, giving facilities and AV integrators a way to add significant additional runtime without replacing the UPS itself. It can be daisy-chained for a maximum of four matching battery packs, allowing an extended-run configuration that scales with the criticality of the load, such as a boardroom videoconferencing rack or a house of worship broadcast system that must stay online through longer utility outages. Heavy-gauge cabling with high-current DC connectors is included, simplifying safe, straightforward installation without custom wiring. The tower-format enclosure requires no rack mounting kit, making it easy to place next to the primary UPS in a data closet or equipment room. For commercial deployments where a brief runtime window is not enough — such as a livestreamed event, an all-hands broadcast, or a critical AV control system — the BP96V provides a practical path to extended-run operation while keeping the existing SmartOnline UPS in place.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BP96V compatible with any UPS other than the SU2200XLCD and SU3000XLCD?

No, the BP96V is engineered specifically for the SU2200XLCD and SU3000XLCD SmartOnline UPS systems and is not interchangeable with other UPS models.

How many battery packs can be connected together?

Up to four BP96V units can be daisy-chained to a single compatible UPS for extended-run operation.

Does installation require an electrician or special wiring?

No, the module ships with heavy-gauge cabling and high-current DC connectors designed for straightforward installation without custom wiring, though facilities teams should confirm local code requirements.

How much floor space does the BP96V require in an equipment room?

It is a tower-format unit and does not require a rack mounting kit, so it can be placed on the floor next to the primary UPS.

What is covered under the BP96V warranty?

The 2-year factory warranty covers parts, electronics, and batteries.

Why would an AV integrator add an extended battery module instead of a larger UPS?

Adding a BP96V lets an existing SmartOnline UPS investment scale to longer runtime needs, such as extended broadcast or livestream events, without replacing the primary UPS hardware.
