The unit’s runtime can be extended with up to four external battery cabinets (EBC) for longer back-up protection, and the hot-swappable VRLA batteries can be easily replaced by users without the assistance of skilled personnel and without shutdown of the loads for smoother operations and minimized maintenance costs. Additionally, the Liebert GXE has an integrated 4 Amps charger providing quick battery recharge up to 90% in just 3 hours that can be critical in case of frequent mains failures, and an integrated battery management system to optimize battery life and recycling.
