APC Smart-UPS X 120V External Battery Pack Rack/Tower 2U (SMX120RMBP2U)

Massively scale the backup runtime of your high-capacity 120V Smart-UPS X systems with daisy-chainable, plug-and-play battery expansion.

Standard UPS batteries are designed to safely bridge the 30-second gap between a utility failure and a generator spinning up. But if your remote branch office or edge network closet doesn't have a backup generator, a standard UPS will leave your critical hardware dark in a matter of minutes. The APC Smart-UPS X 120V External Battery Pack (SMX120RMBP2U) completely changes the uptime equation. Engineered specifically to pair with heavy-duty 120V Smart-UPS X units—like the powerful SMX3000RMLV2U—this 2U module allows you to bypass the limits of internal batteries. By daisy-chaining multiple SMX120RMBP2U packs together, you can customize your IT infrastructure to survive hours-long rolling blackouts, keeping your VoIP phones ringing, security cameras recording, and edge servers online until the utility grid is restored.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unlimited Runtime Scalability: Don't guess on your uptime requirements. The "X" series architecture allows you to daisy-chain up to 10 of these external battery packs to a single UPS, creating a customized, highly resilient power plant right in your 120V network rack.

• True Plug-and-Play Deployment: Expanding your runtime doesn't require a maintenance window or complex wiring. The SMX120RMBP2U features heavy-duty Anderson-style connectors that plug directly into the rear of your UPS or adjacent battery pack, instantly extending your runtime.

• Zero-Downtime Hot-Swapping: Your network cannot afford to go offline. If the internal cells of this battery pack ever degrade, your IT staff can safely slide the cartridge out and replace it while the connected UPS continues to deliver clean power to your servers.

• Intelligent Auto-Detection: Once connected, the host Smart-UPS automatically detects the new external battery capacity and instantly recalibrates your exact runtime availability across your front LCD panel and EcoStruxure management dashboard.

• Rack/Tower Convertible: Designed to adapt to your specific environment. Whether you are mounting it in a standard 19-inch 4-post server cabinet or standing it upright next to a freestanding tower UPS, all required mounting hardware and support cleats are included in the box.
