Panduit UVP036 SteadySine External Battery Pack
Overview
The Panduit UVP036 is a 36V 9Ah external battery pack designed specifically for the SteadySine™ UPS platform — the runtime extension answer when your standard internal battery isn't enough to safely shut down servers, keep security infrastructure online during a power event, or bridge a generator transfer. If you're deploying UVP036 alongside U01S12V, U01S11V, U01N12V, or U01N11V UPS units, this is the supported external battery expansion for those models.
At 17.3" wide and 3.4" tall (440 × 86.5 mm), the UVP036 is sized for 1U rack installations — slides into standard 19-inch racks without consuming disproportionate U-space relative to the runtime it adds. The unit ships as a single pack (Package Qty: 1), so plan your order quantity based on the number of battery slots your UPS chassis supports.
Key Features
- 36V / 9Ah Capacity: delivers the voltage and amp-hour rating the SteadySine platform is engineered around — using an undersized or mismatched battery pack risks reduced runtime and potential UPS fault conditions. This is the matched spec, not a workaround.
- SteadySine™ Platform Integration: Panduit's SteadySine line is built for pure sine wave output, which matters for sensitive loads like variable-speed drives, medical equipment, and active PFC power supplies in security servers. The UVP036 preserves that output quality when the UPS switches to battery.
- 1U Rack Form Factor (17.3" × 3.4"): standard 19-inch rack width means no adapter brackets or custom mounting — drop it in the rack alongside the UPS unit and wire directly. One U consumed per pack.
- Verified Compatible Models: officially listed for U01S12V, U01S11V, U01N12V, and U01N11V — if your UPS model isn't on that list, verify before ordering. Battery packs are not universally interchangeable across UPS families.
- APC SRT48RMBP Cross-Reference: the UVP036 is listed as an alternative to the APC SRT48RMBP, which is useful context if you're evaluating both platforms or migrating an APC-based infrastructure to Panduit SteadySine UPS units.
- Commercial-Grade Construction: sourced factory-new through channel-direct sourcing — no grey-market, no parallel imports. Matters for warranty validity and for environments where component provenance is part of compliance documentation.
Integration & Compatibility
The UVP036 is designed to pair with Panduit SteadySine UPS units in the U01S and U01N series. For full UPS accessories and battery expansion planning, verify your UPS chassis's maximum supported external battery count before purchasing multiple packs — daisy-chain capacity varies by model. If you're also planning power distribution for your rack, coordinate the UVP036 runtime extension with your PDU and load calculations to ensure the UPS can handle both the connected load and charge the external battery simultaneously. For large deployments, consult a battery runtime planning guide to size packs against your actual load in watts, not just VA ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which UPS models is the UVP036 compatible with?
A: The UVP036 is listed for use with U01S12V, U01S11V, U01N12V, and U01N11V SteadySine UPS units. Do not assume compatibility with other Panduit or third-party UPS models without verification.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the UVP036?
A: The UVP036 measures 17.3 inches wide (440 mm) and 3.4 inches tall (86.5 mm), designed for standard 1U 19-inch rack installation.
Q: Is the UVP036 an equivalent to the APC SRT48RMBP?
A: The UVP036 is listed as a cross-reference alternative to the APC SRT48RMBP. However, it is engineered for the Panduit SteadySine platform — confirm your UPS compatibility before substituting in a mixed-brand environment.
Q: How many UVP036 packs can I connect to a single UPS?
A: The maximum number of external battery packs per UPS unit depends on the specific SteadySine model. Check the UPS documentation for your U01S or U01N unit to confirm the supported external battery expansion limit.
Q: Does the UVP036 ship as a single unit or in a multi-pack?
A: The UVP036 ships with a Package Quantity of 1. Order the quantity that matches your UPS chassis's supported external battery slots.
The UVP036 is the right external battery expansion when your SteadySine UPS runtime falls short of your shutdown or bridge window — at 36V / 9Ah, it's matched to the U01S and U01N chassis voltage architecture, not a generic add-on. I've seen integrators try to substitute off-brand battery packs on pure sine wave UPS units and end up with fault codes or degraded output quality; using the platform-matched UVP036 avoids that entirely.
Technical Highlights:
- 36V / 9Ah Rating: engineered to the SteadySine platform's voltage spec — mismatched voltage packs can trigger UPS protection circuits and void warranty coverage.
- 1U Rack Footprint (17.3" × 3.4"): fits cleanly in standard 19-inch racks with no modification; plan one U of rack space per UVP036 pack in your capacity calculations.
- APC SRT48RMBP Cross-Reference: listed as a direct alternative, useful when you're quoting a replacement for an APC-based site transitioning to the Panduit SteadySine platform.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your UPS model is in the supported list (U01S12V, U01S11V, U01N12V, U01N11V) before procurement — the UVP036 is not a universal battery pack and the compatibility list is specific.
- Runtime extension math must account for your actual load in watts, not just the UPS VA rating — a heavily loaded UPS will consume battery capacity faster, so run the load calculation before deciding how many packs to order.
The UVP036 is the right call for security operations centers, network closets, and surveillance head-end rooms where a generator transfer or controlled shutdown needs more buffer than the internal UPS battery provides — and where the SteadySine platform is already the UPS standard.
