APC Smart-UPS Lithium-ion
APC certainty with Total Cost of Ownership in mind
Part of Smart-UPS - The Smart-UPS you trust now offers 2x the battery life, saving you up to 50% on TCO. That’s Certainty in a Connected World
The world’s most popular network and server UPS now with Lithium-ion batteries
APC™ award-winning Smart-UPS™ is the most popular UPS in the world for servers, storage and network power protection. Smart-UPS provides availability and manageability to your network allowing you to focus on business growth instead of business downtime. Trusted to protect critical data and equipment from power problems by supplying clean and reliable network-grade power.
Smart-UPS’s patented green mode provides high efficiency at low, medium and high load levels. This makes them ideal for multi-core or virtualized servers that have varying load consumption all while saving utility costs. Managed outlet groups allow segmented load control to power on or off your equipment in series, as well as load shedding to preserve battery power for critical connected equipment or reboot a hung device without impacting other equipment. Lithium-ion batteries provides 2X in battery life, better performance at higher temperatures and Total Cost of Ownership savings compared to valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries.

Why APC Smart-UPS Lithium-ion?
2x UPS battery life
Lithium-ion UPS batteries are proven to offer double the effective lifecycle of lead-acid VRLA batteries. 8 to 10 years vs. 3 to 5 years.
Simpler, faster installation
Lithium-ion batteries are up to one-third lighter than VRLA, making installation simple.
Longer life in higher temperatures
Lithium-ion UPS batteries perform at ambient temperatures up to 104°F.
Remote UPS monitoring
Using a Network Management Card, APC SmartConnect** or EcoStruxure™ IT,** get anytime, anywhere visibility from any smart device.
Up to 50% TCO Savings
Increased UPS battery life reduces battery replacements and maintenance costs to save you up to 50% on TCO.
Perfect for tight spaces
Perfect for tight spaces At just 12 in depth our short-depth UPS fits conveniently into wall-mount racks and small closets.
Lithium-ion UPS advantage
What is the right alternative to VRLA in your UPS? Smart-UPS with Lithium-ion batteries:
- Reduce costs with 2x the battery life
- Built-in Battery Management System

- Five-year factory warranty on the UPS and battery
Lithium-ion UPS batteries versus VRLA
Lithium-ion batteries deliver higher-quality performance in a long-lasting package:
- Improved life expectancy of 3000 cycles (8 to 10 years) versus about 200 (3 to 5 years) for VRLA with improved resistance to discharge
- Lithium-ion batteries are >96% efficient in both charge and discharge
- Lithium-ion batteries are a more environmentally friendly technology
Features
Adaptability
- Adjustable voltage-transfer points - Maximizes useful battery life by widening the input voltage window or tightening the output voltage regulation.
- Adjustable voltage sensitivity - Provides the ability to adapt the UPS for optimal performance in specific power environments or generator applications.
Availability
