Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48V Extended Battery Module (EBM) for SmartOnline UPS Systems

Maximize uptime and protect critical workloads with the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48V Extended Battery Module (EBM) designed for SmartOnline UPS systems. Built to deliver scalable runtime in a compact 2U footprint, this EBM is engineered to meet the demanding needs of data centers, IT closets, and enterprise environments where uninterrupted power is non-negotiable. The EBM extends battery life in a modular, upgradeable fashion, allowing you to tailor runtime to your specific SLAs and load profiles while maintaining a streamlined, space-efficient rack setup.

With its robust 2U form factor, the EBM fits seamlessly into standard rack deployments, whether mounted as a traditional 2U rack arrangement or deployed in a tower configuration to align with existing infrastructure. The design emphasizes reliability and consistency across deployments, so you can standardize across multiple sites without sacrificing performance. Built to pair with SmartOnline UPS systems, the 48V EBM delivers dependable, predictable runtime growth as your data center scales, helping you avert costly outages during brief power interruptions and extend the time available for orderly shutdowns when longer outages occur.

Whether you run mission-critical applications, virtualized environments, or dense storage arrays, every minute of additional runtime matters. The 48V EBM is purpose-built to support sustained workload resilience, allowing you to add capacity incrementally as demand increases. In environments where space is at a premium, the 2U footprint delivers maximum protection per rack unit, enabling you to optimize your data center footprint while still achieving the extended battery autonomy your organization requires.

From a maintenance perspective, the EBM is designed for straightforward integration with existing UPS configurations. Operators benefit from predictable performance characteristics, simplified inventory management, and a cohesive ecosystem that reduces complexity during power events. The result is improved uptime, enhanced service levels, and lower total cost of ownership as you scale your UPS runtime to match growth trajectories and service-level commitments.

In addition to performance benefits, the EBM supports a range of deployment scenarios—from single-rack applications to multi-rack ecosystems—so you can craft a coherent power protection strategy across your entire facility. The compatibility with SmartOnline UPS systems ensures that you can leverage centralized management features, remote monitoring, and dynamic runtime optimization for more proactive power protection. The combination of 48V operation, compact 2U form factor, and a flexible mounting approach makes this EBM a strategic upgrade for enterprises pursuing higher resilience without compromising on space or budget.
