1. Introduction
Tripp Lite's Extended-Run Battery Cabinets connect to SmartOnline® UPS Systems to provide long-lasting battery backup for data centers, telecommunications, networks, industrial facilities, security, emergency systems and other mission-critical applications that require high capacity, high availability and extended runtime.
Battery cabinets are available in seven options, with pre-installed batteries and without: BP240V09, BP240V09K, BP240V09-NIB, BP240V40, BP240V40-NIB, BP240V40L and BP240V40L-NIB.
The "-NIB" suffix battery cabinet models BP240V09-NIB, BP240V40-NIB and BP240V40L-NIB do not include pre-installed batteries. However, they include all of the jumper cables, fuses and breakers, enabling the flexibility to purchase batteries separately for the battery cabinet. The BP240V09-NIB battery cabinet is designed for CSB HR1234W F2 or similar 9Ah batteries. The BP240V40-NIB and BP240V40L-NIB battery cabinets are designed for CSB GP12400i batteries.
1.1 Features
- The battery cabinets are designed for battery string voltages of ± 120V DC and battery capacities of 9Ah or 40Ah, @ C20 to 1.67VPC.
- Battery cabinets contain multiple 12V DC AGM batteries connected in series to achieve higher voltages.
Each battery cabinet contains several shelves to achieve the required battery string voltages:
o BP240V09 / BP240V09K / BP240V09-NIB: holds 80 x 9Ah AGM batteries
o BP240V40 / BP240V40-NIB: holds 20 x 40Ah AGM batteries
o BP240V40L / BP240V40L-NIB: holds 40 x 40Ah AGM batteries
- Hinged lockable door facilitates access to batteries for periodic maintenance.
- A minimum of 4 in. (100 mm) clearance is located above the individual batteries for access to terminals.
- The battery cabinet is constructed of heavy-gauge steel for durability.
- A baked powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance.
- The battery cabinet ships bolted to a pallet with a double layer of protective stretch wrap and integrated corner and top protection.
- Appropriate ventilation and convection cooling of individual batteries is provided via spacing between batteries. Front and rear vents allow the free flow of warmer air out of the battery cabinet.
- A molded case circuit breaker is provided for overcurrent protection.
- User-supplied power output cables can be fed into the battery cabinet via built-in conduit knockouts on the bottom of the cabinet for BP240V40/40L/40-NIB/40L-NIB models, and with an included cable for BP240V09/09K/09-NIB models at the rear of the cabinet.
- For improved safety, higher power density and minimized maintenance, the cabinet systems use Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) recombinant batteries. The electrolyte in these batteries is immobilized in either an absorbent mat separator or a gelling medium, eliminating the spilling hazards and maintenance requirements of free liquid electrolyte. There is no need to add water or measure specific gravity.
- Because the batteries are recombinant cells that employ an oxygen recombination cycle, minimal gasses are emitted during normal float charging. Each cell contains an individual valve, which releases the gas products from overcharge and prevents pressure build-up within the cell.

- Prepare the surface where the cabinet will be placed. The surface must be clean, flat and able to support the battery cabinet and other equipment installed nearby. See section 7. Specifications for floor loads.
- Allow adequate clearance around the front and rear of the battery cabinet for ventilation and maintenance. The front door must be accessible to allow easy access to internal batteries, internal fuses and other overcurrent protection devices. See section 5.1 Unpacking and Inspection for dimensions and battery cabinet measurements.
- If the cabinet will be anchored to the floor, install appropriate anchor bolts in the mounting hole located at the bottom of the cabinet. Use washers to create a level surface between the mounting areas around the anchor bolts.
- Using extreme caution, remove the bolts securing the battery cabinet to the shipping pallet.
- Forklift forks should be at maximum width within the cabinet clearance opening and fully inserted to prevent tipping. Lift cabinet from bottom only. Be careful not to damage the sheet metal floor of the cabinet with the forks.
- If the battery cabinet will be secured to the floor, carefully align and lower the battery cabinet down on the floor anchor bolts and secure it in place.
- If the cabinet will not be secured to the floor, lower it into the designated space and then level it using shims. Leveling does not affect performance, but does align the battery cabinet with other equipment in the facility.
3.7 Electrical Connection

DANGER! LETHAL HIGH-VOLTAGE HAZARD!
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the warnings in this manual and all applicable electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious personal injury and property damage.
- The battery cabinet is connected to the load through a DC circuit breaker. This allows the battery to disconnect from the load and charger for maintenance and/or repair.
- The DC molded case circuit breakers are CE-approved for branch circuit protection. If replacement is required, CE-approved components with the same voltage and current rating must be used.
- The size of the load connection cables must consider maximum allowable voltage drop, as well as the cables' continuous ampere capacity and anticipated ampere discharge rate of the individual battery cabinet. A maximum voltage drop of 1.5V DC in the load connection cables is recommended. Refer to the UPS unit's Owner's Manual for recommended wire sizes.
- Refer to all applicable local, state and national codes for appropriate cable size and ratings.
- External circuit protection devices (fuses or circuit breakers) must consider the discharge rate of the battery, the wiring to be protected and the DC short circuit current of the battery.
After performing the installation procedures in section 5. Installation, perform the following:
- Open the front door of the battery cabinet to access internal components. Use a digital voltmeter when voltage measurements are required.
- Determine if the battery has been inadvertently grounded by resetting the circuit breaker to the "On" position and measuring the voltage between the battery cabinet grounding lug and the positive load connection point within the cabinet. This voltage should measure 0 (zero) VDC. If the measured voltage is not zero, determine the cause and correct before proceeding.
- Return the internal circuit breaker to an open "Off" position as a safety precaution while connecting the output cables. Doing so prevents damage in the event the cables are accidentally shorted.
3. Battery Cabinet Installation
- The top of the battery cabinet includes knockouts for load connection cable entry. Punch out the appropriate knockout and connect the conduit or cable bushing.
- The output circuit breaker accommodates cables up to 300mm^2
- Connect an appropriate equipment grounding cable to the grounding lug located on the top of the battery cabinet.
- Feed the positive and negative cables (and "N" center, if equipped) from the open external disconnect switch or the UPS battery field wiring terminals through the conduit/cable bushing. Connect to the respective output terminals inside the battery cabinet.
3.8 Final Electrical Check
Before closing any connecting circuit breaker or disconnect switch, complete these verification steps:
- Verify the battery cabinet output voltage is correct.
- If battery cabinets will be operated in parallel, verify that the individual system output voltages match within 2V DC.
- Verify the voltage measured between either output terminal and the battery cabinet ground is zero.
- If any of the above verification steps show an irregularity, determine and correct the cause before proceeding.
- Reset the circuit breaker to the "On" position.

8. Storage and Service
Storage
The battery cabinet must be stored in a clean, secure environment with a temperature less than 104^ (40^) and a relative humidity less than 90% (non-condensing). Store the battery cabinet in its original shipping container if possible. Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours prior to use. Do not rely on the battery cabinet to provide backup power to connected equipment until the batteries are fully charged.
Note: If the UPS system remains off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically to allow the batteries to recharge. The UPS system should be turned on and the batteries should be recharged at least one uninterrupted 24-hour period every 3 months. Failure to recharge the batteries periodically may cause irreversible battery damage.
