Eaton 36V Extended Battery Module (EBM) for 9SX1000 and 9SX1000G UPS Systems – Tower

The Eaton 36V Extended Battery Module (EBM) for the 9SX1000 and 9SX1000G UPS systems is a purpose-built solution to dramatically extend backup power for critical loads. Designed to slot into tower configurations, the 9SX EBM delivers scalable runtime by adding additional battery capacity without compromising the reliability Eaton is known for. Engineers and IT managers rely on this modular approach to protect servers, network devices, medical equipment, and other essential infrastructure during power interruptions. Built for easy integration, the 36V EBM ensures you are prepared for longer outages or routine maintenance windows, enabling smooth shutdowns, graceful failovers, and uninterrupted operations. With durable construction, intuitive installation, and proactive battery health monitoring, the Eaton 36V EBM helps maximize uptime while simplifying upgrade paths for growing power protection needs.

• The 36V Extended Battery Module is designed to work in tandem with Eaton’s 9SX1000 and 9SX1000G UPS units, delivering substantially longer backup runtimes when paired with compatible equipment. This pairing optimizes energy storage and discharge efficiency, allowing you to sustain critical operations through extended outages while preserving data integrity and business continuity.
• Daisy-chaining capability allows you to connect up to four matching battery packs, creating a scalable solution that grows with your uptime requirements. Each additional EBM extends the available runtime, enabling you to accommodate larger workloads or more devices during power interruptions without upgrading the core UPS. The modular approach also simplifies lifecycle planning and battery replacement scheduling across multiple rooms or facilities.
• Tower-optimized form factor ensures seamless deployment in floor-standing environments. The EBM’s compact enclosure aligns with standard tower UPS setups, reducing spacing concerns and improving cable management. This form factor supports tidy, professional installations in data centers, server rooms, and office environments where space efficiency matters as much as reliability.
• Safe handling, straightforward installation, and reliable maintenance features help technicians deploy with confidence. The EBM is designed for secure mounting, clear labeling, and protected battery components, reducing the risk of damage during installation or routine service while supporting routine battery health checks and status monitoring through compatible UPS software.
• Integrated battery health monitoring and management capabilities provide actionable insights into charge status, remaining runtime, and overall health of each EBM. When paired with the UPS management software, this visibility supports proactive maintenance, accurate runtime forecasting, and compliance documentation—delivering predictable protection for mission-critical systems.

how to install Eaton 36V Extended Battery Module

• Prepare the installation area by ensuring adequate ventilation, stable surface, and compliance with local electrical codes. Power down the UPS and disconnect from main power before beginning any battery work.
• Inspect the EBM and its connectors for any visible damage. Confirm you have the correct model and that the UPS is compatible with stacking up to four EBMs in a daisy-chain configuration.
• Mount the EBM in its designated tower location, using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the enclosure is level and securely fastened to prevent movement or vibration during operation.
• Connect the EBM to the UPS using the appropriate daisy-chain cables and connectors, following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram. Start with the primary EBM connected to the UPS, then chain additional EBMs in the proper order.
• Power up the UPS and allow the battery to trend towards full charge. Use the UPS management software to verify that each EBM is detected, that the chain is recognized, and that the extended runtime estimates are updated accordingly.
• Run an initial battery test or a simulated outage to validate runtime extension and load protection. Monitor the system during the test and review any warnings or fault indicators to address potential issues before live operation.
• Establish a regular maintenance schedule for battery health checks, capacity checks, and firmware/software updates. Record runtimes and test results to support ongoing reliability and compliance reporting.
