Eaton RBC12V100ET – 12V Extreme-Temp External Battery Module

Product Overview

The Eaton RBC12V100ET is a 12V, 100Ah extreme temperature UPS battery module built for network and equipment rooms that experience wider temperature swings than a standard climate-controlled data closet. Designed to pair with expandable 24V or 48V Extreme Temperature Network UPS systems such as the SMART1524ET and SMART1548ET, this 12V DC battery module for extreme temperature UPS deployments extends runtime while tolerating a far wider operating range than conventional VRLA batteries. It is a specialized fit for high-temperature UPS battery for network rack installations in mechanical rooms, remote enclosures, or non-climate-controlled AV equipment spaces.

Product Description

The RBC12V100ET uses valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) chemistry rated for operation from -40°C to 80°C, a far wider temperature tolerance than standard UPS batteries, making it well suited for equipment rooms without dedicated climate control, mechanical spaces adjacent to AV racks, or facilities in extreme climates. At 100Ah capacity, this 100Ah VRLA battery module for UPS installations can be configured in series for voltage matching with 24V or 48V systems, or in series-parallel configurations for extended runtime beyond a single module. Installation requires an Anderson PA75 DC connection kit (sold separately) along with M6 terminal hardware, and the module is TAA compliant and RoHS certified for institutional and government procurement. Typical service life ranges from 3-5 years depending on the operating conditions of the host UPS, with harsher thermal environments generally shortening usable life relative to a climate-controlled installation. Facilities managers running battery expansion for SMART1524ET UPS systems in non-standard environments rely on this module to maintain dependable backup runtime where a conventional battery would degrade prematurely.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which UPS systems is the RBC12V100ET compatible with?

It is designed to pair with expandable Extreme Temperature Network UPS systems, specifically the SMART1524ET (24VDC) and SMART1548ET (48VDC). Confirm your exact UPS model configuration before ordering.

What additional hardware is required for installation?

Installation requires M6 terminal hardware and an Anderson PA75 DC connection kit, which is sold separately from the battery module itself.

Can multiple RBC12V100ET modules be combined for higher voltage or longer runtime?

Yes. Modules can be wired in series to match 24V or 48V system voltage, or in series-parallel configurations to extend total runtime capacity.

Why would an AV integrator choose an extreme-temperature battery over a standard UPS battery?

Standard VRLA batteries are typically rated for a narrower temperature band and degrade faster outside climate-controlled environments. This module's -40°C to 80°C rating suits equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, or remote enclosures without reliable climate control.

Is this battery module eligible for government procurement?

Yes. It is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule and other federal procurement requirements.

What is the expected service life of this battery module?

Typical lifespan is 3-5 years, depending on the operating conditions and thermal environment of the host UPS installation.

Does Creation Networks help verify compatibility before purchase?

Yes. Contact Creation Networks with your host UPS model and connection kit details, and our team can confirm the correct configuration for your installation.
