Tripp Lite integrates lithium-ion batteries into UPS systems

June 18, 2019

Tripp Lite, a power and connectivity solutions provider, has added four UPS systems to its SmartPro Series. These models feature lithium ion phosphate batteries, which weighs 60% less than other batteries and offers higher heat resistance and greater longevity, according to a press release.

Customers can recharge the batteries in 1.5-hours, compared to 24 hours for a lead-acid counterpart. The UPS models also come with surge protection, automatic voltage regulation and a self-regulating internal battery management system.

"This is a game changer for power protection in applications where blackouts and brownouts are recurring threats," David Slotten, VP of product marketing, Tripp Lite, said in the release. "Lithium delivers much more predictable service life than lead acid and, once power is restored, rapidly recharges to be ready to respond to subsequent outages."

The models come with a 5 year warranty, according to the release.
