What this product is

What this product is

This unit is an OEM extended battery enclosure (Batkit) manufactured by Vertiv, integrating a factory-balanced string of sealed VRLA batteries inside a rigid 2U 19-inch rackmount drawer chassis. It features polarized high-current DC disconnects, built-in protection fuses/breakers, and seamless integration with the host UPS charger management system.

What problem it solves

Eliminates runtime bottlenecks of internal UPS battery banks during extended grid failures; prevents load drop outages by enabling zero-interruption live hot-swap replacement; and mitigates short-circuit and thermal runaway hazards typical of uncertified third-party battery cabling.

Who and where it is for

Ideal for edge computing cabinets, remote telecom central offices, automated industrial control racks, branch banking equipment rooms, and network closets requiring reliable utility ride-through capabilities.

Core advantages

  • Native OEM Compatibility: Specifically mapped for Liebert GXT5 1kVA to 3kVA (48V DC platform) with precise thermal-compensated charging synergy.
  • True Hot-Swappable Operation: Allows seamless module replacement or expansion while the inverter is actively supporting the critical load without interruption.
  • Engineered Safety Architecture: Features an integrated DC breaker, anti-arc mechanical shrouds, and polarity-keyed connectors to prevent miswiring.
  • High-Density VRLA Cells: Premium factory-graded cells ensure uniform cell conductance, low internal resistance, and superior high-rate discharge efficiency.
