J90i-2kLiD vs APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA (208/230V)
The Xtreme Power J90i-2kLiD and APC Smart-UPS Ultra SRTL2K2RM1UWC are both 1U online double-conversion lithium UPS for edge IT, telecom rooms, and distributed infrastructure at 208/230 V. The J90i-2kLiD leads on LFP chemistry, high-temperature operation, outlet control, lifecycle cost, TAA, and warranty. Note the APC is a larger-capacity unit (2200 VA / 2200 W) than the J90i-2kLiD (2000 VA / 1800 W); size to your real-power load.
What the J90i-2kLiD brings
- LiFePO₄ (LFP) chemistry 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
- Full TAA compliance and a 6-year warranty
Side-by-side specifications
| Specification | Xtreme Power J90i-2kLiD | APC SRTL2K2RM1UWC | Advantage / consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery chemistry | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) + integrated BMS | Lithium-ion (unspecified) | J90i – LFP safety and life |
| Rated capacity | 2000 VA / 1800 W | 2200 VA / 2200 W | APC – higher capacity (unity PF) |
| Topology | Online double conversion | Online double conversion | Equal zero-transfer protection |
| Form factor / mounting | 1U rack or wall | 1U rack or wall | Same deployment flexibility |
| Dimensions / weight | 17.2 × 22.8 × 1.7 in · 35.2 lb | 17.2 × 22.0 × 1.7 in · 35.0 lb | Comparable (APC marginally shallower) |
| Operating temperature | Up to 50 °C (122 °F) | Up to 40 °C (104 °F) | J90i – rated to 50 °C |
| Recharge time | Approx. 1 hour | Approx. 1.5 hours | J90i – faster recovery |
| Battery life | Up to 15 yr / 3,000–5,000 cycles | 8–10 yr typical | J90i – lower lifetime cost |
| Outlet control | Individually controllable (Web/SNMP) | Not supported | J90i – per-outlet remote reboot |
| TAA compliance | Yes (COO Taiwan) | No (COO Philippines) | J90i – federal procurement eligible |
| Warranty | 6-year UPS & battery | 5-year limited | J90i – longer coverage |
Specifications based on publicly available manufacturer documentation; confirm against current vendor data. The APC SRTL2K2RM1UWC is a larger-capacity unit (2200 VA / 2200 W at unity power factor) than the J90i-2kLiD (2000 VA / 1800 W); if your load is near 1.8 to 2.2 kW, size carefully or step up the J90i.
Choosing between them
Both are 1U online lithium UPS at 208/230 V. The J90i-2kLiD leads on LFP chemistry, temperature, outlet control, recharge, TAA, and warranty. The APC SRTL2K2RM1UWC is a larger unit (2200 VA / 2200 W, unity PF) with native cloud monitoring. If your watt load is near 2 kW, confirm sizing or step up the J90i.
Choose the J90i-2kLiD if you need
- Online protection rated for high-temperature (up to 50 °C) operation
- Long-life LiFePO₄ batteries with fewer replacements
- Per-outlet control to reduce truck rolls
- Full TAA compliance for regulated procurement
- A longer (6-year) warranty including battery
The APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA may fit if you need
- Higher capacity in 1U (2200 VA / 2200 W, unity PF)
- Alignment with an APC-standardized ecosystem
- Native cloud monitoring (SmartConnect)
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Both are 1U online double-conversion lithium UPS at 208/230 V with zero transfer time. They differ in battery chemistry, temperature rating, outlet control, capacity, and warranty rather than topology.
No. The APC SRTL2K2RM1UWC is rated 2200 VA / 2200 W (unity power factor), larger than the J90i-2kLiD at 2000 VA / 1800 W. If your real-power load is close to 2 kW, size carefully or move up the J90i family; the J90i-2kLiD is optimized for lifecycle and high-temperature operation.
The J90i-2kLiD uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with an integrated BMS, rated up to 15 years or 3,000 to 5,000 cycles at up to 50 C. APC specifies lithium-ion without naming the chemistry, roughly 8 to 10 years at up to 40 C.
Yes. The J90i-2kLiD is TAA compliant (country of origin Taiwan); the APC Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA is not (country of origin Philippines). That makes the J90i-2kLiD eligible for U.S. federal and regulated procurement.
