Vertiv Mpl Li Ion Ebc Rack Tower For Liebert Ita2 Qty 2 1U Cabinets Bci0020Kl1 Battery

Experience longer runtimes, heightened resilience, and streamlined maintenance with the Vertiv MPL Li-Ion External Battery Cabinet (EBC) for Liebert ITA2. This modular power-backup solution is purpose-built to extend the operational life of critical IT equipment, from data centers to edge deployments, by delivering scalable energy storage that complements the Liebert ITA2 UPS. The two-cabinet-per-string configuration — consisting of two 1U cabinets per string (2U per string) — is engineered for flexible deployment in both rack-mount and tower environments. Leveraging advanced Lithium-Ion technology, the MPL EBC reduces weight, increases energy density, and lowers total cost of ownership through longer life, reduced maintenance needs, and faster battery replacements. Whether you’re protecting a dense server rack, a small colocation node, or a distributed edge site, this external battery cabinet helps you maintain uptime when it matters most.

• Flexible mounting for rack or tower deployments: Seamless integration with Liebert ITA2, offering adaptable configuration to fit your data-center layout and space constraints without compromising performance.
• Lithium-Ion energy storage for longer runtimes: Higher energy density and lighter weight translate to extended backup times for critical loads, helping minimize unplanned downtime and protect sensitive equipment.
• Modular, scalable design: Each string uses two 1U cabinets, providing a scalable path to increase runtime as power demands evolve. The modular approach simplifies maintenance, enabling straightforward battery replacements or upgrades without disrupting the entire system.
• Optimized compatibility with Liebert ITA2: Specifically engineered to integrate with the Liebert ITA2 UPS, delivering coherent monitoring, status reporting, and coordinated runtime calculations for informed IT decision-making.
• Easy installation and operational simplicity: Tool-light installation with clear cabling paths and intuitive access to battery status, reducing setup time and training while delivering reliable, predictable performance.
