Eaton has expanded its 9PX lithium-ion uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with a 6-kVA power rating model, with the same capabilities of the existing 9PX lithium-ion power supplies, including remote software upgrades and integration with leading HCI and virtualization platforms. The 9PX single-phase online lithium-ion UPS family offers power ratings from 1000 – 3000 VA and is compatible with lithium-ion UPS batteries 40 percent smaller than VRLA batteries with twice the lifespan, said Eaton.
The lithium-ion UPS family delivers longer, more reliable battery backup for IT applications and is suited for edge computing environments, educational institutions, healthcare IT and light industrial.

Lithium-ion battery technology is transformative for UPSs in distributed “edge” environments, according to Eaton. The “longer battery life enables a set-it-and-forget-it approach with little on-site support from IT staff, data center professionals or maintenance personnel necessary.”
Available in tower or rack form factors, the UPS comes with the same features as the lead-acid UPS including load segments providing prioritized shutdown, remote power on (RPO), remote on/off (ROO) and output relay ports to increase control capabilities. The UPS measures 5.12 x 17.33 x 28.43 inches.
The lithium-ion battery is up to 40% lighter than lead-acid batteries and has a battery life of 8-10 years, said Eaton. Users can add up to four 2U extended battery modules for additional runtime.
The 9PX 6-kVA UPS is currently available with a 5-year warranty covering the UPS and its batteries.
