Lithium Rack UPS for Distributed IT & Edge Infrastructure

Online double-conversion lithium rack UPS platform designed for distributed IT infrastructure, network closets, AV systems, and edge computing environments requiring conditioned power continuity, predictable lifecycle performance, and flexible rack, tower, or wall deployment.

The Lithium Iron Phosphate battery architecture supports reduced maintenance intervention, long service life, and stable operation in thermally constrained infrastructure environments up to 50 °C.

Lithium Online UPS Architecture

Online double-conversion UPS systems are deployed where zero transfer time, precise voltage regulation, and consistent power quality are required to support distributed IT and network infrastructure.

Lithium battery integration supports:

• reduced battery replacement frequency
• improved high-temperature deployment capability
• lower lifecycle service exposure
• modernization of distributed infrastructure continuity strategies

Runtime Architecture Positioning

P91 Li is optimized for internal runtime continuity strategies and is not designed as an extended runtime lithium architecture platform.

Capacity Deployment Guidance

P91 Li capacity selection is typically driven by distributed rack load profile and shutdown strategy.

Typical deployment tiers:

1000 VA — network switching and distributed electronics
1500 VA — small server infrastructure and telecom nodes
2000 VA — distributed IT racks and AV processing systems
3000 VA — higher-density edge infrastructure

Runtime strategy is typically defined based on ride-through requirements or controlled shutdown planning.

Lithium Rack UPS Deployment Guidance

Selection guidance:
P91 Li is typically deployed where rack infrastructure supports conventional UPS form factors and standardized power distribution architectures.
J90 is selected when rack density constraints, thermal limitations, or extended runtime lithium architecture requirements influence infrastructure design decisions.

Future Platform Expansion

P91-1kLi Short-Depth Lithium UPS

A short-depth 1000 VA lithium model (P91-1kLi) is planned for release in September 2026.
This extends the platform into shallow network cabinet environments where conventional rack UPS systems cannot be installed.

Key characteristics include:

• 11.6″ short-depth rack mechanical architecture
• distributed network cabinet deployment optimization
• lithium online continuity for shallow IT racks
• alignment with evolving edge infrastructure density trends

Typical Deployment Environments

Lithium online UPS platforms in this capacity class are commonly deployed where distributed infrastructure requires conditioned power continuity and lifecycle predictability.

Typical applications include:

• network closets and distributed IT racks
• AV infrastructure and media systems
• edge computing installations
• retail and commercial technology infrastructure
• telecommunications nodes
• unattended remote infrastructure systems

Premium Lithium Rack Platform Option
