Frequently asked questions
- What does EXL mean in BP36RTEXL? EXL refers to the extended-runtime series of Minuteman battery packs with higher VAh ratings designed to deliver longer runtimes than standard XL packs. EXL packs are intended to maximize uptime for critical systems, especially when loads are sustained or operate during extended outages.
- Do EXL packs include an internal charger? No. The EXL battery packs do not have internal chargers. They rely on the UPS’s charging circuitry to replenish the battery, which can help reduce internal heat and deliver efficient charging within the system’s design parameters.
- Can I mix BP36RTEXL with XL packs? Yes. Minuteman’s design supports combining EXL and XL packs to tailor recharge times and total runtime. Mixing packs allows you to optimize for shorter recharge intervals while still benefiting from the EXL’s extended capacity.
- What kinds of loads benefit most from the BP36RTEXL? The BP36RTEXL is ideal for network equipment, servers, point-of-sale systems, security and camera networks, medical devices, and other mission-critical electronics that require dependable backup power for longer periods during outages.
- How long does it take to recharge after an outage? Recharge time depends on the UPS charging rate, battery state, and load. When used in a mixed EXL/XL configuration, you can often shorten the overall recharge time compared to using EXL packs alone, due to the UPS’s ability to balance charging across packs. Always refer to your UPS’s specifications for precise recharge timelines.
- Is the BP36RTEXL compatible with all Minuteman UPS models? Compatibility is limited to UPS models that support EXL/XL battery configurations and mixed-pack upgrades. Always consult the product compatibility guide for your specific UPS model to ensure proper integration and performance.
- How should I dispose of old battery packs? Old battery packs must be recycled according to local regulations. Many regions have dedicated e-waste or battery recycling programs. Do not dispose of batteries in standard trash.
