Long-life lithium UPS systems for restaurants and retail that match the lifespan of POS systems, kiosks, and networking equipment, eliminating recurring UPS replacement cycles across multi-site operations.
Deployed across multi-site restaurant and retail environments nationwide.
Most restaurants and retailers still rely on traditional UPS systems that require replacement every three to four years, long before the POS, networking, and digital equipment they protect reaches end of life. These repeated replacement cycles increase operating costs, create service disruptions, and add unnecessary landfill waste across distributed retail and QSR locations. Xtreme Power lithium UPS solutions eliminate that cycle by aligning power protection with the actual lifespan of store technology.
Compact UPS protection for POS systems and critical retail electronics
Why Long-Life Lithium UPS Is Becoming the Standard for Restaurants and Retail
Eliminate UPS Replacement Projects
Long-life lithium UPS systems deliver up to 15 years of operating life and 3,000 to 5,000 discharges, removing the need for recurring UPS replacement projects common with lead-acid systems.
Lower Lifetime Cost Across Every Location
Fewer installs, fewer truck rolls, and fewer disposal events significantly reduce total cost of ownership across hundreds or thousands of locations.
Match the Lifespan of Store Technology
Lithium UPS protection lasts as long as POS terminals, kiosks, digital menu boards, and networking infrastructure, eliminating mid-cycle failures.
Designed for Tight Retail and QSR Spaces
Compact, lightweight designs support wall-mount, under-counter, and short-depth rack installations commonly required in retail and restaurant environments.

Built for Elevated-Temperature Operation
Lithium UPS systems tolerate higher temperatures than lead-acid batteries, reducing failures in kitchens, back rooms, and drive-thru enclosures.

A Smarter UPS Strategy for Multi-Site Restaurant and Retail Operators
Instead of treating UPS systems as short-life accessories, long-life lithium UPS systems allow operators to:
- Standardize UPS protection across new store builds and refresh cycles
- Remove UPS battery replacement from the support calendar
- Reduce shipping, installation, and disposal volume
- Improve uptime without increasing operational burden
This is a one-time UPS standardization decision with long-term impact.
How Leading Restaurant and Retail Operators Transition to Long-Life Lithium UPS
