Eaton Extended Battery Cabinet

Engineered for dependable power protection in data centers, manufacturing floors, and other mission-critical environments, the Eaton Extended Battery Cabinet is built to house the pw9355 36-battery configuration. This cabinet supports a two-string line and match arrangement, delivering scalable runtime, streamlined maintenance, and robust safety for battery-backed systems. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Eaton UPS architectures, it helps you optimize energy resilience while reducing complexity during installation, testing, and servicing. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy installation or expanding a new setup, the pw9355 two-string configuration offers a balanced, modular approach to battery capacity that can adapt as your runtime needs evolve.

• Optimal battery architecture for scalable runtime: The Eaton Extended Battery Cabinet accommodates up to 36 battery modules in a two-string line-and-match configuration. This design supports balanced load distribution and improved runtime for critical loads, enabling you to tailor backup capacity to your specific uptime requirements. With two strings, you gain redundancy and flexibility, ensuring that even if one string needs service, the other continues to support essential systems.
• Rugged enclosure for secure maintenance: Built with a robust steel frame and lockable doors, the cabinet provides a secure, serviceable environment for battery modules. Integrated cable management, clear labeling, and accessible battery compartments help technicians locate and replace individual modules quickly, reducing downtime during maintenance cycles and ensuring safe handling of batteries in compliance with standard safety practices.
• Maintenance-friendly design: Front-accessible battery strings and modular layout simplify routine checks, testing, and swaps. The design minimizes the impact on active loads, allowing technicians to perform targeted replacements without taking the entire system offline. This translates into shorter maintenance windows, improved serviceability, and a lower total cost of ownership over the cabinet’s lifecycle.
• Seamless compatibility with pw9355 systems: Specifically engineered to integrate with Eaton pw9355 battery modules, this cabinet ensures reliable interoperability with Eaton monitoring, protection, and control software. Expect consistent electrical performance, easier diagnostics, and coherent software-based asset management across the UPS ecosystem, helping operators optimize runtime and battery health monitoring.
• Future-ready flexibility and scalability: The two-string configuration supports growth as loads evolve, capacity requirements increase, or redundancy targets change. This cabinet enables straightforward expansion by adding more strings or upgrading modules, aligning with long-term IT and industrial power strategies while avoiding a complete system replacement.

How to install Eaton Extended Battery Cabinet

• Step 1 — Verify compatibility: Confirm that the Eaton pw9355 system requirements align with your UPS model and that the 36-battery configuration is appropriate for your runtime targets and redundancy goals. Review the installation manual and ensure you have the correct hardware, mounting surfaces, and environmental clearances.
• Step 2 — Prepare the installation site: Choose a dry, well-ventilated space with adequate clearance around the cabinet for service access. Ensure floor integrity supports the cabinet weight when fully loaded, and plan for proper cable routing to minimize interference with other equipment and to improve airflow around the batteries.
• Step 3 — Position and secure the cabinet: Move the cabinet to its final location and anchor it securely according to manufacturer guidelines. Use the supplied mounting hardware and ensure the enclosure is level to prevent stress on electrical connections and to maintain door alignment for safe operation.
• Step 4 — Install battery strings and integrate with the UPS: Connect the two-string line-and-match battery modules per the pw9355 installation diagrams. Pay careful attention to polarity, torque specifications, and cable routing to avoid loose connections or potential short circuits. Perform a preliminary integrity check before energizing the system.
• Step 5 — Connect monitoring and safety features: Link the cabinet to the UPS management software and any required battery monitoring modules. Verify that indicators, alarms, and status reporting reflect accurate battery health, charge levels, and string balance. Enable safety interlocks and verify proper clearance for maintenance access and ventilation paths.
• Step 6 — Commission and test: Power up the system in a controlled sequence, confirm that both strings are reporting correctly, and run a brief discharge/charge cycle to confirm balance and performance. Schedule a formal acceptance test and document results for future reference and regulatory compliance.
