Its 2U rack/tower form factor fits neatly into standard data-center racks, enabling flexible deployment in spaces with varying rack configurations. When combined with the 5PX G2 family, the EBM delivers enhanced resilience, clearer runtime visibility, and easier maintenance, helping you meet service-level agreements and maintain business continuity even during lengthy power interruptions. This module is a practical upgrade for organizations seeking to preserve uptime, protect delicate equipment, and reduce the risk of data loss during unplanned outages.

• Extended runtime for compatible models: The 72V Extended Battery Module is designed to add substantial battery capacity to 5PX G2 UPS systems, delivering longer backup durations under load. It is especially beneficial for environments with critical servers, virtualization workloads, and sensitive networking equipment that require predictable shutdown timelines and uninterrupted operation during outages.
• Broad compatibility within the 5PX G2 family: The EBM is specified for use with 5PX2000RTG2, 5PX2000RTNG2, 5PX2200HRTG2, 5PX3000RTG2, 5PX3000RTNG2, 5PX3000HRTG2, and 5PX3000HRTNG2 models. This compatibility enables you to leverage a single battery expansion solution across multiple UPS configurations, simplifying procurement, stocking, and maintenance while preserving uniform performance characteristics across your fleet.
• 2U rack/tower form factor for flexible deployment: The EBM ships in a compact 2U form factor that can be mounted in standard 2U racks or used in tower configurations. This makes it ideal for data centers, network closets, and edge installations where space efficiency and adaptable mounting are critical considerations.
• Easy integration and serviceability: The module is designed for straightforward installation into compatible Eaton 5PX G2 systems, with plug-and-play compatibility and guided battery detection during initial power-up. The battery extension can be replaced or serviced without replacing the primary UPS, reducing total cost of ownership and downtime during maintenance.
• Enhanced monitoring and lifecycle visibility: When paired with Eaton’s management software, the EBM provides real-time battery health checks, runtime estimates, charge status, and alerts. This visibility helps IT teams anticipate battery replacements, schedule maintenance windows, and optimize overall power protection strategies.

How to install Eaton 72V Extended Battery Module (EBM) for 5PX G2 UPS

• Power down the connected equipment and disconnect from the mains following your data-center safety procedures. Ensure the UPS is in a safe state for battery replacement before proceeding.
• Identify the appropriate EBM slot on the 5PX G2 UPS chassis or in the rack installation area. Confirm that you have the correct model (5PXEBM72RTG2) and that the UPS firmware is up to date to ensure compatibility.
• Open the UPS enclosure or back panel as required and remove any protective covers or filler panels to access the battery slot. Verify that no power is present and that the area is free of moisture or conductive debris.
• Align the EBM connectors with the UPS backplane, carefully slide the module into the slot until it seats firmly, and secure with the retention screws or latches provided by the enclosure. Ensure a solid mechanical and electrical connection before continuing.
• Reconnect any battery interconnects if applicable and restore protective covers. Close the enclosure and restore power to the UPS. Allow the UPS to perform its initial battery detection, calibration, and charge cycle.
• Use the UPS interface or Eaton IPM software to verify battery status, current runtime estimates, and health indicators. If a graceful shutdown is scheduled, confirm that the extended runtime is reflected in the system’s reports and that monitoring alerts are active for the EBM.

Frequently asked questions

• What models are compatible with the Eaton 72V EBM? The EBM is designed for use with the Eaton 5PX G2 UPS family and supports 2000 VA and 2U 3000 VA configurations, including 5PX2000RTG2, 5PX2000RTNG2, 5PX2200HRTG2, 5PX3000RTG2, 5PX3000RTNG2, 5PX3000HRTG2, and 5PX3000HRTNG2.
• How does the EBM affect runtime? By adding battery capacity, the EBM extends runtime proportionally to the load and the existing state of charge of the UPS batteries. Actual runtime depends on factors such as load level, temperature, and battery health.
• Is installation of the EBM suitable for field technicians? Yes. The EBM is designed for straightforward installation into compatible 5PX G2 systems and can be performed by qualified IT staff following the official installation guide. If you’re unsure, consult a professional service provider.
• Can I mix different EBM units with the same UPS? For best results and consistent reporting, use a single EBM model and firmware revision compatible with your UPS. Mixing different EBM revisions or models can affect charging behavior and runtime accuracy.
• What monitoring options are available after installation? Eaton IPM software and the UPS interface provide battery health status, estimated runtime, charge level, and alerts for battery maintenance or replacement needs. Regular monitoring helps ensure readiness for outages.
