Online Lithium UPS Comparison for 120V Edge, IT, and Network Deployments
A compact 1U online UPS is ideal for edge IT, IDF closets, AV racks, and distributed network deployments where space, heat tolerance, and serviceability matter. The Xtreme Power J90-2kLiD from Xtreme Power Conversion and the APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA (SRTL2K2RM1UC) from APC are both designed for high-density 120V applications.
While both systems provide online double-conversion protection in a compact 1U form factor, the J90-2kLiD delivers meaningful advantages in battery chemistry, high-temperature operation, outlet-level control, recharge speed, warranty coverage, and full TAA compliance. These differences make the J90-2kLiD better suited for mission-critical and federally regulated environments.
