Key Features
- Live-swap capability for Galaxy VS external batteries
- Designed as an upgrade kit for external battery cabinets
- Enables battery replacement without transferring load
- Mechanical and electrical interface for hot-swap operations
- Field-installable for on-site maintenance workflows
- Reduces risk of unplanned outages during battery service
- Enable hot-swap battery replacement with Galaxy VS-compatible external battery cabinets
- Maintain continuous output power via live-swap support during battery service
Sustain critical workloads through battery service windows by converting Galaxy VS UPS installations to live-swap capable configurations. Designed as an upgrade kit for deployments that use external battery cabinets, this module lets technicians replace depleted battery strings while the UPS continues to supply conditioned power to the load. The result is predictable maintenance windows without shutdowns, reduced operational risk, and clearer lifecycle planning for battery assets.
Engineered for serviceability rather than raw capacity, the kit integrates into existing Galaxy VS external battery architectures and provides the mechanical and electrical interface required for live battery exchange. For procurement teams, this kit reduces the total cost of ownership by removing emergency outages for battery replacement and aligning maintenance with business schedules. Specify this APC upgrade when uninterrupted availability and field-replaceable battery workflows matter more than adding runtime capacity alone.
Ideal For
- Datacenter UPS deployments that require battery replacement without shutdown
- Branch office UPS installations with external battery cabinets and limited maintenance windows
- Telecom shelters where continuous power is mandatory during battery service
- Enterprise server rooms requiring predictable battery lifecycle procedures
