J90-2kLiD vs APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA
The Xtreme Power J90-2kLiD and APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA (SRTL2K2RM1UC) are both 1U online double-conversion lithium UPS at 120 V. The J90 uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with an integrated BMS; the APC uses lithium-ion and adds SmartConnect cloud monitoring. The J90 leads on chemistry, temperature, outlet control, recharge, battery life, TAA, and warranty; the APC carries a slightly higher VA/W rating.
What the J90-2kLiD brings
- LiFePO₄ with integrated BMS vs unspecified lithium-ion
- Up to 15-year battery life vs 8–10
- Per-outlet control (the SRTL2K2 does not support it)
- 50 °C operation and faster recharge (1 hr vs 1.5)
- TAA compliance and a 6-year warranty

Choosing between them
Both are 1U online lithium UPS. The J90-2kLiD leads on LFP chemistry, temperature, outlet control, recharge, battery life, TAA, and warranty; the APC Smart-UPS Ultra carries a slightly higher VA/W rating and adds SmartConnect cloud monitoring. Topology, form factor, and footprint are equivalent.
Choose the J90-2kLiD if you need
- Online protection rated for high-temperature operation
- LFP batteries with extended life and fewer replacements
- Per-outlet control to reduce truck rolls
- Full TAA compliance for government and public-sector projects
- A 6-year warranty including battery
The APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA may fit if you need
- A slightly higher VA/W rating in 1U
- Native SmartConnect cloud-based monitoring
- Alignment with an APC-standardized ecosystem and controlled cooling
Frequently asked questions
Chemistry and features. The J90 uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) rated up to 15 years; the SRTL2K2RM1UC uses lithium-ion (8 to 10 years typical). The J90 adds per-outlet control, 50 C operation, faster recharge, TAA, and a 6-year warranty; the APC carries a slightly higher VA/W rating and bundles SmartConnect cloud monitoring.
The APC, marginally: 2200 VA / 1870 W at 120 V (1950 W at 125 V) versus the J90’s 2000 VA / 1800 W. Footprint and weight are nearly identical between the two.
No. The SRTL2K2RM1UC does not offer individually controllable outlets; the J90 does, with the Web/SNMP card, for remote reboot of specific loads. The APC instead emphasizes SmartConnect cloud monitoring.
Yes. The J90 is TAA compliant (country of origin Taiwan), eligible for U.S. federal and regulated procurement; the competing unit is not.
