– Expanding use of Li-Ion technology for single-phase APC Smart-UPS portfolio

– Addresses customer demand for greater resiliency, simplified maintenance and lower cost of ownership

– Reduces maintenance and associated costs required over the life of the UPS by up to 53 percent

†Schneider Electric, the global specialist in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced it is expanding its APC Smart-UPS portfolio with a†Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery option for its single-phase offer.

APC’s Smart-UPS On-Line Li-Ion battery†offer fills an industry gap by delivering better performance and longer shelf life that is not currently available with sealed lead acid battery technology. With the delivery of a Li-Ion solution, Schneider Electric is enabling customers to operate more efficiently and significantly reduce the cost and risk associated with managing their power protection equipment.

Smart-UPS powered by Li-Ion

For years, Schneider Electric has featured Li-Ion across its portfolio of power protection solutions, including its industry-leading three-phase UPSs and APC Back-UPS offer. Now, it is expanding its use of†Li-Ion technology for its single-phase Smart-UPS portfolio.

With Li-Ion embedded technology, Smart-UPS On-Line offers several maintenance and cost-saving benefits:

  • Longer life span: Li-Ion batteries can have a†service life upwards of 10 years.
  • Smaller size and weight: Due to higher energy densities, Li-Ion batteries have a much smaller footprint and†weigh about 30 percent less†than sealed lead acid batteries.
  • Lower maintenance andtotal cost of ownership: With†double the battery life, the amount of maintenance and associated costs required over the life of the UPS is†reduced by up to 53 percent.
  • Safety:†APC’s proven record of safety and†best-in-class design and adherence to safety regulations†(UL 1973, UL1642/IEC62133) provides added peace of mind.
  • Better performance at higher temperatures:†Li-Ion batteries can operate at higher average temperatures (e.g., 40∞C/104∞F)†without degradation to UPS performance of runtime.
  • Extended runtime: Smart-UPS On-Line can be†configured with multiple Li-Ion battery packs†to meet aggressive runtime demands based on IT and business needs.
  • Remote management capabilities: Available with a†preinstalled Network Management Card†(NMC) option, this solution can enhance visibility of edge environments with monitoring and control capabilities.

The solution can also connect to Schneider Electric’s cloud-enabled†EcoStruxure IT†platform, which allows customers to leverage data-driven insights about the health and status of their UPS devices to simplify maintenance and optimize performance.
