Introduction

The Eaton BladeUPS 12i uninterruptible power system (UPS) is
® ®
compatible with a customer-supplied external battery only when used
with the External Battery Interconnect. This arrangement of
customer-supplied external battery and External Battery Interconnect is
not for use with the BladeUPS 12 module. The addition of
customer-supplied external batteries can extend battery runtime to one
hour.
The External Battery Interconnect is a DC connection box that provides a
landing for the wires from an external battery. The External Battery
Interconnect converts external battery input wires to a plug that is
compatible with the Eaton BladeUPS 12i module (see Figure 1).
