APC by Schneider Electric LIBCAT2W8X80 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric LIBCAT2W8X80 is a dedicated rack enclosure designed to house eight 80AH battery modules, providing expanded runtime capacity for compatible Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. This unit is specifically engineered for deployments requiring significant backup power extension, such as data centers, critical infrastructure, and enterprise IT environments where continuous operation is paramount. The 500A rating indicates its capacity to handle high current draws from the connected UPS, ensuring reliable power delivery during outages.

Compatibility

This battery rack is designed to integrate with specific APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS and Symmetra LX models that support external battery modules and are rated for up to 500A. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your existing UPS model's technical specifications and documentation to ensure proper integration and performance. It is not a standalone power source and requires a compatible APC UPS unit to function.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful handling of heavy battery modules. Ensure the rack is placed on a stable, level surface. Battery modules should be installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines, paying close attention to polarity and connection torque specifications to prevent damage or fire hazards. The enclosure is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. Ensure adequate ventilation around the rack to prevent thermal buildup, as batteries can generate heat during charging and discharging cycles.
