Minuteman Entrust LCD BM0065 UPS Battery Pack

Experience reliable backup power with the Minuteman Entrust LCD BM0065 UPS Battery Pack, engineered to deliver dependable runtimes, effortless maintenance, and scalable protection for small to mid-size systems. This lead-acid, maintenance-free battery module is designed to pair with the Minuteman Entrust LCD UPS family, enabling hot-swappable replacement, spill-proof safety, and chainable operation for extended run times. With an integrated LCD for easy status monitoring and a compact, rack-friendly design, the BM0065 helps IT teams safeguard servers, network devices, workstations, and essential equipment when the lights go out.

• Runtime and scalability: The BM0065 offers practical runtime options to fit varying outage scenarios. Typical runtimes are approximately 0.20 hours at a standard load (about 12 minutes) and about 0.05 hours at a heavier load (roughly 3 minutes). The design is chainable, so multiple battery packs can be connected to extend total backup time as your protection needs grow. This scalability makes it suitable for protecting a small server, networking gear, or critical workstations in branch offices and remote locations, ensuring you have a window to save work and perform orderly shutdowns during power interruptions.
• Maintenance-free, sealed, spill-proof safety: Crafted with a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) chemistry, the BM0065 is a maintenance-free, sealed, spill-proof battery pack. This reduces the risk of electrolyte leaks and minimizes ongoing upkeep, making it ideal for environments where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable. The hot-swappable capability means technicians can replace a failed module without powering down connected equipment, minimizing downtime and keeping essential systems protected while maintenance is performed.
• Recharge time and UPS compatibility: After discharge, the BM0065 typically recharges within about 8 hours, balancing battery longevity with readiness. It is designed to integrate smoothly with the Minuteman Entrust LCD UPS family, enabling straightforward installation and management. The inclusion of an LCD status display on the Entrust line provides visibility into charge status, remaining runtime, and health indicators, helping IT staff monitor battery health and plan maintenance with confidence.
• Physical design and safety features: The BM0065 battery pack emphasizes a compact, rack-friendly footprint with a robust, sealed enclosure. Its spill-proof, VRLA construction and hot-swappable design reduce the risk of downtime and simplify service in busy IT environments. Secure electrical interfaces and vibration-resistant connectors ensure reliable operation in cabinet or rack installations. These design choices support continuous protection for network switches, NAS devices, small servers, and other critical equipment in data centers, offices, or telecom rooms.
• Ideal applications and easy installation: This battery pack is well-suited for small offices, remote or branch locations, and any setting where uptime matters but space is limited. It pairs well with micro or small-scale UPS deployments to protect networking gear, servers, storage devices, and workstations. The BM0065’s chainable architecture lets you scale backup capacity incrementally, reducing upfront expenditure while preparing for future growth. Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with UPS battery modules, and the system’s LCD display aids ongoing monitoring and maintenance planning.
