Tripp Lite by Eaton SV-Series External Battery Pack (3-Cabinet Tower) – No Batteries Included

Extend the runtime of your SV-Series 3-Phase UPS with this dedicated external battery pack. Comprising three sturdy cabinet modules in a tower configuration, this pack is designed to be populated with user-supplied sealed lead-acid batteries to meet your exact runtime goals. With no batteries included, you have the flexibility to source the CSB XHRL12620W (or equivalent) cells that best fit your procurement needs, space constraints, and service strategy. This external battery solution is engineered to provide reliable backup power for critical loads, helping to protect servers, networking gear, and other essential equipment from unexpected outages.

• Scalable runtime extension for SV-Series 3-Phase UPS: The three-cabinet design is purpose-built to grow with your data center needs. By adding or configuring the battery cabinets and choosing the right number of cells, you can tailor backup duration to match your tolerance for downtime and the importance of mission-critical workloads. This scalability supports phased upgrades and budgeting for capacity as your IT footprint expands, reducing disruption and cost when you need more runtime.
• Requires 60 CSB XHRL12620W batteries (or equivalent): Populate each external cabinet with 20 sealed lead-acid cells, totaling 60 cells across the three cabinets. The CSB XHRL12620W (or an equivalent model) is a proven, widely available choice that delivers dependable energy density, predictable discharge behavior, and a straightforward replacement path. This configuration is designed to deliver consistent performance under load while maintaining straightforward maintenance planning for data centers and enterprise environments.
• No batteries included: This external battery pack arrives ready to connect to your SV-Series UPS but does not include the batteries themselves. This approach gives you control over battery quality, sourcing, and lifecycle management, enabling you to align procurement with your organization’s purchasing cycles and budgeting practices while choosing batteries with the exact chemistry and capacity you prefer.
• Rugged 3-cabinet tower enclosure for secure deployment: The external pack features a durable, space-efficient tower configuration designed for data center floors or raised-floor installations. Each cabinet provides secure mounting, organized cabling, and accessible battery connections, minimizing maintenance time and maximizing reliability. The modular enclosure helps with heat management, serviceability, and long-term durability in challenging environments where continuous power matters most.
• TAA-compliant and compatible with SV-Series UPS: This battery pack is designed to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements and integrates seamlessly with Tripp Lite’s SV-Series 3-Phase UPS. You gain a compliant, professionally supported solution that preserves your warranty coverage and ensures consistent performance with the UPS ecosystem you rely on for critical workloads.

How to install Tripp Lite SV-Series External Battery Pack

• 1. Power down the SV-Series UPS and all connected equipment according to the manufacturer’s safety procedures and local electrical codes.
• 2. Plan the layout for the three external cabinets, ensuring adequate ventilation, clearance for maintenance, and proper adherence to safety and space requirements.
• 3. Position the cabinets in the planned location and connect the external pack to the SV-Series UPS using the recommended connection harness and attached interfaces. Verify that the UPS is configured to recognize the external battery extension and that communication with the management software is enabled.
• 4. Populate the cabinets with 20 CSB XHRL12620W batteries in each cabinet (total of 60), following polarity markings and manufacturer guidelines. Ensure batteries are seated firmly and that all connections are clean and secure to prevent electrical resistance or loose-term issues during operation.
• 5. Perform an initial health check, verify battery voltages, and boot the UPS. Confirm that the runtime estimates reflect the configured load, and run a brief self-test to ensure proper integration between the external battery pack and the SV-Series system.
• 6. Document the installation, label the battery bank clearly with battery type, date of installation, and replacement schedules, and establish a maintenance plan that includes regular inspections, temperature checks, and replacement planning to sustain long-term reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is included with this external battery pack? A battery cabinet assembly consisting of three external cabinets is included; batteries are not included.
• Q: How many batteries do I need? A total of 60 sealed lead-acid cells (60 CSB XHRL12620W or equivalent) are required to populate all three cabinets, with 20 cells per cabinet.
• Q: Is the external battery pack compatible with SV-Series 3-Phase UPS? A yes—the pack is designed to extend runtime for SV-Series 3-Phase UPS systems and integrates with the UPS control and monitoring interfaces.
• Q: Can I mix different battery chemistries? A for best performance and predictability, use the specified CSB XHRL12620W sealed lead-acid batteries or an equivalent suggested by Tripp Lite. Mixing chemistries is not recommended as it can affect runtime and reliability.
• Q: Do I receive batteries with this product? A no—the batteries must be sourced separately by the customer.
• Q: How does the runtime extend? A runtime extension depends on the total battery capacity installed, the UPS load, and the efficiency of the SV-Series pair. By configuring all three cabinets with the appropriate battery cells, you significantly increase available backup time for critical loads during outages.
