Eaton RBC12V55ET – External 12V 55AH Battery Module

Product Overview

The Eaton RBC12V55ET is an external 12V DC 55AH battery module built to extend runtime on Eaton's extreme temperature network UPS systems used in outdoor, industrial, and traffic control installations. This extreme temperature UPS battery module for industrial rack applications pairs with expandable 24V or 48V Extreme Temperature Network Class UPS systems to add supplemental battery capacity where sustained backup power is critical. As a TAA-compliant battery module for traffic network UPS and other government-specified deployments, it is a common addition for facilities managing commercial UPS battery backup installation projects in harsh or unconditioned environments.

Product Description

The RBC12V55ET is designed as an external, expandable battery pack for outdoor UPS deployments where the primary UPS enclosure has limited internal battery capacity. Each battery pack includes M6 terminal hardware so installers can properly secure the battery cable to the corresponding Extreme Temp UPS, which itself ships with an Anderson PA75 DC connection kit for straightforward field wiring. A dedicated battery temperature sensor cable protects the battery system from overcharging in high-temperature environments, a critical feature for units deployed in roadside traffic cabinets, outdoor equipment enclosures, or industrial facilities without climate control. The module is rated for an unusually wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for extreme temperature UPS battery for industrial rack use where standard VRLA batteries would degrade quickly. Facilities and integrators supporting traffic signal networks, outdoor security systems, or industrial control networks specify this battery module when extending the runtime of compatible Eaton Extreme Temperature Network UPS systems such as the SMART1524ET and SMART1548ET.
