P91-3kLi Lithium UPS

P91-3kLi: 3000 VA Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) UPS

Typically in stock TAA Compliant 6-Year Full Warranty Online Double-Conversion Rated to 50 °C

The largest P91 Li: 3000 VA / 2700 W of online double-conversion protection with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries rated for up to 15 years, 3 to 4 times the life of lead acid.

It delivers its full 2700 W on internal battery with 10 minutes of runtime at full load. At 45.2 lbs it is the lightest of the 3 kVA lithium rack UPS compared here, with the longest standard warranty and a connected-equipment load protection policy the others don’t offer.

Key Advantages

Why the P91-3kLi stands out

Long-life lithium

Up to 15-year design life and 3,000–5,000 charge cycles, 3 to 4 times longer than lead acid.

Full 2700 W, longest runtime

10 minutes at 2700 W on internal battery. The Vertiv runs 6.5 minutes at the same load; the Eaton is limited to 2400 W without an external pack.

Lightest in its class

45.2 lbs, against 48.5 to 52.8 lbs for the Eaton, Vertiv and APC 3 kVA lithium models.

Online double conversion

Continuous, regulated power with zero transfer time for servers, storage and network cores.

Fastest recharge

Back to 90% in about 1.5 hours after an outage, against about 2 hours for Vertiv and APC and up to 3 hours for Eaton.

Rated to 50 °C

Operates in closets and edge rooms up to 50 °C; Eaton’s 9PX lithium is rated to 40 °C.

L5-30R plus six 5-15/20R

A 30 A locking outlet for a PDU or large load, plus six standard receptacles, including a controllable bank.

Remote monitoring

Optional Web/SNMP card for alarms, logging and remote output control; RS-232, USB and EPO standard.

6-year full warranty

Electronics and lithium battery (USA and Canada). Reduced to 2 years in 40–50 °C environments; 2 years depot repair elsewhere.

$50,000 load protection

Connected equipment is covered up to $50,000 in the USA and Canada. Register within 10 days.

TAA compliant

Qualifies for U.S. government, education and public-sector procurement.

The Alternative

A strong alternative to other 3 kVA lithium UPS models

All four units compared here are 2U, online and lithium at 3000 VA / 2700 W. The differences are in warranty, weight, protection and procurement.

Where the P91-3kLi leads: full 2700 W on internal battery with the longest full-load runtime, a 6-year full warranty (Eaton and Vertiv 5 years, APC 3 years on the UPS), the lightest chassis at 45.2 lbs, the fastest recharge, operation to 50 °C, a $50,000 connected-equipment load protection policy, and TAA compliance.

Competitor specifications are based on published manufacturer and distributor data and are subject to change; verify current figures before purchase. Competitor depths are as published; the P91-3kLi figure is rack-mounting depth. Eaton recharge, temperature and battery-life figures are from the Eaton 9PX Lithium-Ion user guide (Rev 08). Vertiv runtimes are from the GXT5 Lithium-Ion installer/user guide (Table 8.7, internal battery). Eaton runtimes are read from Eaton’s online runtime chart and are approximate; without an external battery module the 9PX3000RT-L is limited to 2400 W. TAA: Eaton and Vertiv offer TAA-compliant versions under separate part numbers; APC states its TAA SKUs carry a US or TAA suffix. Competitor data checked October 2026.

P91-3kLi: frequently asked questions

What makes the P91-3kLi different from other 3 kVA lithium UPS?
Three things buyers usually weigh: a 6-year full warranty on electronics and battery (the Eaton 9PX and Vertiv GXT5Li are 5 years; the APC Easy UPS is 3 years on the UPS and 5 on the battery), the lightest unit of the four at 45.2 lbs, operation to 50 °C, and a $50,000 load protection policy on connected equipment in the USA and Canada. It is also TAA compliant.
How much runtime does the P91-3kLi give?
About 10 minutes at full load (2700 W), 15 minutes at 1800 W, 21 minutes at half load (1350 W) and 32 minutes at 900 W, all on internal battery. For comparison, the Vertiv GXT5LI-3000LVRT2UXL runs 6.5 minutes at 2700 W, and the Eaton 9PX3000RT-L is limited to 2400 W without an external battery module. The P91-3kLi recharges to 90% in about 1.5 hours.
How deep is the P91-3kLi?
23.8 inches of rack-mounting depth plus about 1 inch for the front bezel. It is 2U, 17.2 inches wide, and converts between rack and tower. For 3 kVA in 1U, see the J90; for shallow racks, the P91-1kLi is 10.6 inches deep at 1 kVA.
What outlets does it have?
One NEMA L5-30R and six NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles, on a 6 ft L5-30P input cord. The outlets include one controllable bank for load shedding or remote reboot of that group; individual receptacle control is not offered.
Is the P91-3kLi TAA compliant?
Yes, as standard. That matters on federal, state, education and healthcare contracts. The Eaton 9PX3000RT-L and Vertiv GXT5LI-3000LVRT2UXL are not TAA compliant; both vendors sell TAA versions under separate part numbers. By APC’s own SKU convention the SRVSL3KRARK, which carries no US or TAA suffix, is not.
What warranty and protection come with it?
Six years on electronics and battery in the USA and Canada, reduced to 2 years for continuous operation between 40 and 50 °C, and 2 years depot repair elsewhere. In the USA and Canada a $50,000 load protection policy covers connected equipment; register within 10 days of purchase.
Is the P91-3kLi in stock?
