Applications
The SU48R3XLBP is the rackmount external battery pack for the APC Smart-UPS XL series of UPS systems, which are commonly deployed in server rooms, data centers, and network closets where extended runtime during a power outage is critical. The Smart-UPS XL line accepts one or more external battery packs to significantly increase backup time beyond what the internal battery alone provides, allowing equipment to remain online through longer outages or to execute a graceful, controlled shutdown. The 48V architecture and proprietary RBC27 cartridge format are specific to APC's Smart-UPS XL platform — the enclosure uses APC's modular battery cartridge system, meaning cells can be replaced without replacing the entire enclosure. This style of hot-swap-capable, rack-integrated battery extension was widely adopted in enterprise IT infrastructure from the late 1990s through the 2000s and the enclosures remain in use wherever legacy Smart-UPS XL units are still in service.
This APC SU48R3XLBP Smart-UPS XL 48V 3U External Battery Pack Enclosure has been visually inspected and appears to be in good cosmetic condition. The enclosure and battery cartridge frames are present; however, batteries are NOT included — this unit requires 16 x 12V DC RBC27-type batteries (8 per cartridge) which must be sourced separately. The unit has not been powered or tested, and is sold strictly as-is with no functionality guarantee. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
