Eaton EBP-1617 – 72V Extended Battery Module for 9PX UPS
Product Overview
The Eaton EBP-1617 is a 72V extended battery module for 9PX UPS systems, adding supplemental battery capacity to select Eaton 9PX rack-mount online double-conversion UPS models. It functions as a 72V battery pack for rack-mount UPS installations where a facility needs longer backup runtime than the UPS's internal batteries provide. Hot-swap construction makes it a practical hot-swap EBM for commercial UPS deployments in data closets and AV equipment racks that cannot tolerate downtime during battery service.
Product Description
The EBP-1617 is an extended battery module (EBM) built on VRLA battery technology, engineered to pair with Eaton's 9PX line of rack-mount online double-conversion UPS systems, including the 9PX3000RT, 9PX3000RTN, 9PX3000GRT, 9PX3000GLRT, 5PX3000RTG2, and 5PXEBM72RTG2. Adding this module extends runtime beyond what the UPS's internal batteries alone can support, which matters for facilities protecting rack-mount servers, network switches, or AV control processors that require extended ride-through during longer utility outages rather than just a brief bridge to generator power. Internal batteries are hot-swappable, so a technician can service or replace them without powering down the UPS or the equipment it protects, an important feature for a 9PX3000RT compatible battery pack supporting continuously running infrastructure. The module carries TAA and FCC compliance certifications along with cULus listing, making it suitable for government, education, and other TAA-restricted procurement environments. Physically, the EBP-1617 is built to integrate into the same rack footprint as its companion 9PX UPS units, simplifying planning for AV racks and data closets where rack space is already tightly allocated.
