Introduction; Features - Tripp Lite BP240V65 Owner's Manual

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 models, with pre-installed batteries and without: BP240V65, BP240V65-NIB,
BP240V65L, BP240V65L-NIB, BP240V100, BP240V100-NIB, BP240V100L-NIB.
The "-NIB" suffix battery cabinet models BP240V65-NIB, BP240V65L-NIB, BP240V100-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 cabinets. The BP240V65-NIB and BP240V65L-NIB battery cabinets are designed for CSB
GP12650i batteries. The BP240V100-NIB and BP240V100L-NIB battery cabinets are designed for CSB GP121000 batteries.

1.1 Features

• The battery cabinets are designed for battery string voltages of ± 120V DC and battery capacities of 65Ah or 100Ah,
@ 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 BP240V65 / BP240V65-NIB: Holds 20 x 65Ah AGM batteries
o BP240V100 / BP240V100-NIB: Holds 20 x 100Ah AGM batteries
o BP240V65L / BP240V65L-NIB: Holds 40 x 65Ah AGM batteries
o BP240V100L / BP240V100L-NIB: Holds 40 x 100Ah AGM batteries
• A 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 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.
