P91 Li Lithium UPS (1000–3000VA, 120V) | Online Rack UPS

1000–3000 VA | 120V | Online Double-Conversion UPS

Lithium rack UPS designed for distributed IT, network, and AV infrastructure requiring reliable power protection, long battery life, and standardized deployment.

The P91 Li is a standard 2U lithium UPS designed for rack-based infrastructure where continuous conditioned power and predictable lifecycle performance are required.

Using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries, it provides long service life, reduced maintenance, and stable operation in elevated temperature environments compared to traditional VRLA systems.

The platform is optimized for internal runtime and flexible deployment, making it well suited for standardized installations across multiple sites.

P91 Li is often evaluated alongside lithium rack UPS platforms such as APC Smart-UPS Ultra in standard rack deployments.

Rack-Level Power Protection

P91 Li is deployed in distributed infrastructure environments where localized UPS protection is required at the rack level.

Online double-conversion topology provides zero transfer time and continuous conditioned power, isolating connected equipment from upstream disturbances. Lithium battery architecture supports longer service intervals, improved thermal performance, and reduced maintenance compared to VRLA UPS systems.

Where P91 Li Fits

P91 Li operates as the standard lithium rack UPS platform within distributed infrastructure. It is typically deployed in network closets, IT racks, AV systems, and multi-site environments where a consistent UPS platform is required.

Within the Xtreme Power architecture, P91 Li sits between compact lithium platforms such as J60C and high-density platforms such as J90, providing a balance of flexibility, runtime, and standard rack deployment.

P91 Li vs High-Density Lithium UPS

P91 Li is designed for standard rack environments where internal runtime and flexible deployment are required.

Compared to high-density platforms such as J90, it uses a 2U form factor suited for conventional racks and supports rack, tower, or wall installation. J90 is typically selected when rack space is constrained, outlet-level switching is required, or extended runtime lithium configurations are needed.

Runtime Architecture

P91 Li uses an internal battery architecture designed for short-duration ride-through, controlled shutdown, and standardized deployment across multiple sites.

It is not intended for long-duration runtime applications, where external battery or facility-level UPS systems are more appropriate.

When to Use P91 Li

P91 Li is typically selected when lithium UPS is preferred over VRLA, when internal runtime is sufficient, and when a standardized rack deployment platform is required across multiple locations.

It is particularly well suited for environments operating at elevated temperatures where lithium performance advantages are important.

Replace APC and Eaton Lithium UPS

P91 Li is commonly deployed as a replacement for lithium rack UPS systems from APC, Eaton, and Vertiv.

It provides a consistent lithium platform with predictable lifecycle performance and high-temperature operation up to 50 °C.
