2-Post (Telecom) Mounting
If you mount rackmount battery packs in 2-post racks, they require the addition of a Tripp Lite
2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM, sold separately). See
Installation Kit owner’s manual for installation procedure for rackmount battery packs.
Select battery packs have a polarized plug
on an
output cord permanently connected to the rear
panel. Simply plug the output cord directly into the
external battery connector of your UPS. (See your
UPS manual for external battery connector description
and location.) Note that only one of these battery
packs is generally connected to a UPS at one time.
For longer runtime, use one or more Tripp Lite
Battery Packs with daisy-chain capability.
Select battery packs feature dual input/output
receptacles on their rear panels . To connect to a
UPS, insert one end of the detachable power cable
into either plug on the rear of the battery pack
and the cable’s other end into the external battery
connector of your UPS. (See your UPS manual for
external battery connector description and location.)
To connect multiple battery packs to a single UPS
for greatly increased runtime, connect the output of
the first battery pack to the UPS’s external battery
connector, then “daisy chain” the others: connect
an input/output plug on the second battery pack to
an input/output plug on the first, a plug on third to
a plug on the second and so on. Note that multiple
battery pack arrays will provide longer runtimes,
but will also require longer recharge times.
