P91-1kLi Short-Depth Lithium UPS

P91-1kLi: 1000 VA Short-Depth Online Lithium UPS

Ships November 2026 10.6″ Rack Depth TAA Compliant 6-Year Full Warranty

Online double-conversion lithium protection in a rack depth most 1 kVA online UPS can’t reach. The P91-1kLi needs 10.6 inches behind the front rail, where comparable 1 kVA online models run 17 inches or more, so it fits wall-mount cabinets, shallow IDF racks and AV credenzas.

LiFePO₄ batteries rated for up to 15 years, 3 to 4 times the life of lead acid, in the same 2U rack/tower platform as the rest of the P91 Li family.

Key Advantages

Why the P91-1kLi stands out

Short depth, online

10.6 inches of rack depth with online double conversion. APC’s short-depth lithium model at 1 kVA is line-interactive.

Long-life lithium

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

Temperature resilient

Operates up to 50 °C (122 °F), suited to closets and cabinets without dedicated cooling.

Eight outlets

Eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles, including a controllable bank of four for load shedding or remote reboot of that group.

2U rack or tower

Rack mounts with the optional 4-post rail kit, or stands as a tower.

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

Short-depth 1 kVA, without giving up online protection

At 1 kVA, buyers with shallow racks often end up choosing between a short-depth line-interactive lithium UPS and a full-depth online one. The P91-1kLi is both short-depth and online.

Where the P91-1kLi leads: online double conversion at 10.6 inches of rack depth, a 6-year full warranty (the APC and Vertiv models are 5 years, the Eaton 3), eight outlets, TAA compliance, and a $50,000 connected-equipment load protection policy.

P91-1kLi: frequently asked questions

How deep is the P91-1kLi?
10.6 inches of rack-mounting depth, plus about 1 inch for the front bezel (11.6 inches overall). It is 2U, 17.2 inches wide and 17.2 lbs. Most 1 kVA online rack UPS run 17 to 18 inches deep.
Is the P91-1kLi a true online UPS?
Yes. It is online double-conversion, so the load always runs through the inverter with zero transfer time. The APC SMTL1000RM2UCNC, a short-depth lithium model at 1 kVA, is line-interactive. See the full P91-1kLi vs APC comparison.
How much runtime does the P91-1kLi give?
About 7 minutes at full load (900 W), 13 minutes at 540 W, 20 minutes at 360 W and 44 minutes at 180 W. Most network closet and AV loads sit well below full load.
When does the P91-1kLi ship?
November 2026. Call (800) 582-4524 to quote a project or reserve units.
Will it fit a wall-mount cabinet?
In most cases. Wall-mount network cabinets are typically 12 to 16 inches deep, and the P91-1kLi needs 10.6 inches behind the front rail plus room for its power cord and cabling. For cabinets under about 12 inches, see the J60C at 8.5 inches.
Is the P91-1kLi TAA compliant?
Yes. That matters on federal, state, education and healthcare contracts. By APC’s own SKU convention, the SMTL1000RM2UCNC is not TAA compliant.
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.
