Chapter 1 Introduction
The Eaton®BladeUPS®12i uninterruptible power system (UPS) is
compatible with a customer-supplied external battery only when used
with the External Battery Interconnect. This arrangement of
customer-supplied external battery and External Battery Interconnect is
not for use with the BladeUPS 12 module. The addition of
customer-supplied external batteries can extend battery runtime to one
hour.
The External Battery Interconnect is a DC connection box that provides a
landing for the wires from an external battery. The External Battery
Interconnect converts external battery input wires to a plug that is
compatible with the Eaton BladeUPS 12i module (see Figure 1).

Note the following guidelines when configuring a BladeUPS 12i module
with a customer-supplied external battery and External Battery
Interconnect.
SConnect the External Battery Interconnect plug directly to the
BladeUPS 12i module. Because there is a single UPS battery
connector on the rear panel of the BladeUPS 12i module, you cannot
use a combination of customer-supplied external batteries and
Eaton-supplied Extended Battery Modules (EBMs) with the same
BladeUPS 12i module.
SNever connect the External Battery Interconnect plug to an EBM.
SThe same customer-supplied external batteries cannot be shared by
multiple BladeUPS 12i modules.
SFor consistent runtimes, each BladeUPS 12i module in parallel
systems must have the same amount of battery runtime.
SThe customer-supplied external batteries are charged through the
UPS internal charger.
STo configure the BladeUPS 12i module for customer-supplied external
batteries, configure the user setting for Watts per cell. For
information on user settings, refer to the user's guide for the
BladeUPS module.
SA Commissioning Test is not required when using customer-supplied
external batteries as long as the Advanced Battery Management®
(ABM) feature is not disabled.
SInternal BladeUPS batteries must be installed when using the
External Battery Interconnect.

Customer-Supplied External Battery
When configuring a BladeUPS 12i module with external batteries, use
either Eaton-supplied EBMs only or customer-supplied external batteries
only. You cannot use a combination of EBMs and customer-supplied
external batteries with the same BladeUPS 12i module. See Table 5 on
page 30 for specifications related to customer-supplied external
batteries.
NOTE If using customer-supplied external batteries, configure the BladeUPS user setting
for Watts per cell. For information on customer-supplied external battery setup, refer to the
user's guide for the BladeUPS module.
Required Tools
The following tools are required for installing the External Battery
Interconnect:
SPhillips®#2 screwdriver
SWrench or sockets to accommodate M4 and M5 hex nuts
STorque driver for slotted screws, to accommodate settings of
47.5 ±2.7 and 61.0 Nm (35 ±2 and 45 lb in)

Choosing a Mounting Option
The mounting bracket has five pairs of mounting holes (see Figure 2):
STwo pairs of mounting holes for attaching the assembly to the vertical
rail (determines the left-to-right offset when facing the back of the
rack)
SThree pairs of mounting holes for attaching the mounting bracket to
the External Battery Interconnect (determines front-to-back offset
when facing the back of the rack)
Attach to External
Battery Interconnect Attach to
Vertical Rail
Figure 2. Mounting Bracket
The combination of mounting holes allows for 12 mounting options.
However, the design of the rack may not allow the use of some options.
Your conduit routing needs determine which mounting options to use.
When mounting multiple External Battery Interconnects on the same
vertical rail, offset the boxes to provide adequate room for conduit
routing. Consider the following:
SThe number of External Battery Interconnects to attach to the vertical
rail
SThe vertical spacing of the External Battery Interconnects
SWhether the conduits are rigid or flexible
For an example of a rack with three External Battery Interconnect
devices installed, see Figure 13 on page 25.

NOTE These procedures describe installation from the perspective of facing the rear of the
rack. However, the External Battery Interconnect is designed to be attached to the vertical
rail at the right-rear of the rack, as shown in Figure 3. Use this figure to locate the proper rail
for attaching the External Battery Interconnect.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket to the Vertical Rail
The left-to-right orientation is controlled by the short flange on the
mounting bracket. This flange attaches to the vertical rail. Although there
are only two pairs of mounting holes on the short flange, there are four
left-to-right options by flipping the mounting bracket with the flange
facing left or right.
To attach the mounting bracket to the vertical rail:
1. Determine the left-to-right position and select the appropriate
orientation and mounting holes on the short flange (see Figure 4).

Figure 4. Positioning, Left-to-Right
NOTE Eaton recommends left or far left mounting to minimize restriction of the UPS
exhaust air flow. When using right or far right mounting options, locate the External Battery
Interconnect toward the back of the rack, away from the UPS. Note that you can attach the
External Battery Interconnect on either side of the mounting bracket.
2. Align the mounting holes in the short flange with the desired holes
in the vertical rail.

INSTALLATION
Eaton®BladeUPS®External Battery Interconnect User's Guide S164201794 Rev 3 www.eaton.com/powerquality 19
3. Insert two M5 hex head bolts (supplied) through the flat washers
(supplied) and mounting holes in the short flange and the holes in
the vertical rail (see Figure 5).
Figure 5. Insert M5 Hex Head Bolts (Far-Left Position Shown)
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the vertical rail using two M5 flat
washers (supplied) and two M5 hex nuts with captured star
washers (supplied). See Figure 6.

Attaching the External Battery Interconnect to the Mounting Bracket
The front-to-back orientation is controlled by the long flange on the
mounting bracket. This flange attaches to the External Battery
Interconnect.
To attach the External Battery Interconnect to the mounting bracket:
1. Determine the front-to-back position and select the appropriate
mounting holes on the long flange (see Figure 7).
