The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 External Battery Cabinet (GXT5-EBC192VRT3U) is an external hot-swappable lead‑acid battery cabinet intended to extend runtime for compatible Liebert GXT5 UPS systems. It supports automatic detection by compatible UPS models and can be connected in a chain of up to 10 cabinets to a single UPS. The cabinet uses sealed lead‑acid batteries with a nominal capacity of 9 Ah, has an IP20 ingress protection rating and is designed for installation in environments where protection from solid objects is required. The unit has a measured noise level of approximately 55 dB and a declared weight of 65 kg.

Advantages

The auto detection feature simplifies installation and ensures the UPS recognises each cabinet without manual configuration. Hot‑swappable batteries allow replacement without powering down the connected UPS, maintaining continuity of protected loads. The IP20 rating provides basic protection against dust and contact with internal components, and support for up to 10 cabinets enables significant extension of runtime for critical equipment.
