Panduit ULC272 72V LFP Lithium Replacement Battery Card for 2 kVA UPS
Overview
The Panduit ULC272 is a 72V lithium iron phosphate (LFP) replacement battery card designed specifically for Panduit's 2 kVA UPS platforms — the U02S12L and U02N12L. If you're maintaining runtime continuity on either of those UPS units, this is the factory-matched replacement card, not an aftermarket substitute. LFP chemistry matters here: compared to traditional VRLA/AGM batteries, lithium iron phosphate runs cooler, tolerates more charge cycles, and carries a lower thermal runaway risk — relevant when this card lives inside powered network or power distribution cabinets.
At 3.07 in. tall and 7.58 in. wide, the ULC272 slots into the chassis footprint designed around the U02S12L and U02N12L — this is not a universal form factor. Verify your UPS model before ordering.
Key Features
- 72V LFP Chemistry: Lithium iron phosphate delivers a longer usable cycle life than VRLA alternatives and operates at lower internal temperatures — meaning less heat stress on adjacent equipment in enclosed cabinets or wall-mount enclosures.
- 2 kVA UPS Match: Rated and matched to 2 kVA UPS capacity. Pairing a correctly rated replacement card avoids runtime shortfalls and keeps the UPS operating within its designed discharge profile.
- Compact Card Form Factor: At 78 mm tall and 192 mm wide (3.07 in. × 7.58 in.), the ULC272 fits the existing bay without chassis modification. Replacement is a card swap, not a full UPS changeout — reducing downtime during a battery service event.
- Drop-In Replacement: Designed for use with U02S12L and U02N12L UPS models. No reconfiguration of the UPS management interface or load settings required at the hardware level — swap and restore power protection.
- Single Unit Packaging: Ships as a single card (package quantity: 1), so you can order exactly the quantity your maintenance schedule requires without minimum-bundle constraints.
Integration & Compatibility
The ULC272 is confirmed compatible with the following Panduit UPS models:
- U02S12L — Panduit 2 kVA single-phase UPS
- U02N12L — Panduit 2 kVA single-phase UPS (N-series)
No other UPS compatibility is documented in available evidence. Do not assume compatibility with other Panduit UPS lines or third-party units — LFP battery cards are voltage- and BMS-matched to specific platforms. Using a mismatched card risks improper charging and protection failure. For broader power distribution and UPS accessories, verify model compatibility before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which UPS models is the ULC272 compatible with?
A: The ULC272 is confirmed for use with Panduit U02S12L and U02N12L 2 kVA UPS units. No other compatibility is documented.
Q: What battery chemistry does the ULC272 use?
A: It uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry at 72V — offering longer cycle life and lower thermal runaway risk compared to traditional VRLA/AGM UPS batteries.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the ULC272?
A: The card measures 3.07 in. (78 mm) tall and 7.58 in. (192 mm) wide. Depth is not published in available evidence.
Q: Does the ULC272 require any UPS reconfiguration after installation?
A: No reconfiguration data is documented. As a factory-matched replacement card for the U02S12L and U02N12L, it is designed as a direct swap for the existing battery card bay.
Q: How many cards are included per order?
A: One card per package (package quantity: 1).
The ULC272 is a purpose-built 72V LFP replacement card — and that voltage specificity is exactly why model verification matters before you order. This card is matched to the BMS inside the U02S12L and U02N12L; drop in a mismatched voltage card and the UPS charge controller may never properly condition it, leaving you with degraded runtime you won't see until the next outage.
Technical Highlights:
- 72V LFP Platform: LFP cells tolerate deeper discharge cycles than VRLA without accelerated capacity loss — meaningful for UPS units in edge or remote sites where battery service intervals may stretch beyond the VRLA ideal.
- Card Form Factor (78 mm × 192 mm): The compact card profile means battery replacement happens at the card level, not the UPS chassis level — reducing both replacement cost and the service window needed.
- 2 kVA Capacity Match: Rated to support the full 2 kVA load of the target UPS platforms, so you're not derate-sizing runtime by using an underrated replacement.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your UPS model is explicitly U02S12L or U02N12L before ordering — this card is not documented for any other Panduit UPS series, and LFP cards are BMS-coupled to specific platforms.
- Depth dimension is not published in available evidence; confirm physical bay clearance against your UPS chassis spec sheet if you have modified enclosure depth.
The ULC272 is the right call for facilities teams running Panduit 2 kVA UPS units in distributed IT closets or security head-end rooms where LFP longevity reduces the frequency of battery service dispatches.
