The APC Smart-UPS XL 24 V battery module (manufacturer number SUA24XLBP) is an original replacement and expansion battery pack for the Smart-UPS XL series. It is designed to extend the runtime of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in critical IT and networking applications where continuous power supply is required. The module is specifically designed for integration into existing Smart-UPS XL systems to increase backup time during power outages.
Applications
This battery module is used in environments where high availability of IT systems, servers, networking equipment, or other sensitive electronic devices is required. It is suitable for installation in rack or tower systems and enables flexible scaling of runtime. Extending backup time is particularly important in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications installations, or critical industrial control systems.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The module is based on lead-acid battery technology, designed for reliable and maintenance-free power supply. The battery voltage is 24 V, matching the standard voltage for the Smart-UPS XL series. The battery is user-replaceable, meaning it can be replaced by the end user without special tools or technical support. This enables quick maintenance and minimizes downtime. The product color is black, matching the standard design of Smart-UPS XL devices.
Technology Explained Simply
The battery is designed as a maintenance-free system, meaning no regular maintenance tasks such as electrolyte refilling are required. The hot-swap function allows the battery to be replaced while the UPS is operating, without shutting down connected devices. This is especially important in critical applications where power interruption is not acceptable. The operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 40 °C, and the relative humidity during operation can reach up to 95 %, enabling flexible use in various environments.
Compatibility and Accessories
The battery module is specifically developed for the Smart-UPS XL series and can be combined with models such as the SUA700XL or SUA1000XL. It is part of an expandable battery system that supports up to ten additional battery packs, enabling runtimes exceeding 24 hours. Compatibility is limited to the APC Smart-UPS XL product family; other UPS models are not supported.
Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed directly on the UPS unit or in the rack, depending on configuration. No special tools are required, as the module is designed for end users. Physical dimensions are 170 mm (width) × 439 mm (depth) × 216 mm (height), and the weight is 31.4 kg. The mounting position is not specifically defined by the manufacturer, allowing for flexible placement.
Operational Advantages
Using the battery module enables customized runtime adjustment according to specific application requirements. The hot-swap function reduces downtime during maintenance. The maintenance-free design reduces maintenance effort. Compliance with RoHS and REACH standards ensures environmental compatibility and the use of low-hazard materials. The packaging consists of recycled cardboard, supporting the product’s sustainability.
