  • Daisy-chain up to four units for longer backup time
  • Mounts in 2U 19-inch rack or tower orientation

Extended Runtime Module

The Tripp Lite BP36RT is a 36 V DC valve-regulated lead-acid battery module designed to extend runtime for compatible SmartOnline UPS systems. It supports education, healthcare, military, government and other IT applications in small or mid-size networks. The module is hot-pluggable and user-replaceable for continuous operation.

Thermal and Power Profile

The sealed lead-acid cells operate without active cooling fans, so the unit adds no audible noise to the rack or tower environment. Power draw is limited to the charging current supplied by the host UPS, keeping thermal impact minimal during normal float conditions. Heavy-gauge cabling with high-current DC connectors ensures safe energy transfer.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Up to four matching modules can be daisy-chained to deliver progressively longer extended-run operation during prolonged outages. Runtime scales with each added pack, allowing the connected UPS to support critical loads for the duration required by the application. The 2U rackmount or tower form factor fits standard 19-inch EIA racks using the included 4-post rail kit.

Questions about this item

How is the BP36RT installed in a 19-inch rack and which step is often missed?

Mount the module using the included 4-post rail kit in 2U of rack space, then connect the heavy-gauge DC cables to the UPS. The step often missed is securing both front and rear rails so the unit cannot shift under vibration.

What maintenance will the valve-regulated lead-acid batteries need later?

The VRLA batteries are user-replaceable and hot-pluggable. Plan to replace the internal battery cartridges every three to five years depending on temperature and discharge cycles; no fluid checks are required.

What limit appears first when daisy-chaining multiple packs for extended runtime?

The system supports a maximum of four matching battery packs. Adding a fifth pack is not supported, so the daisy-chain limit of four modules is the first constraint you will reach.
