HPE AF482A DirectFlow UPS 3U Rackmount VRLA Battery Pack

Brand:
HPE

The HPE AF482A is a 3U rackmount VRLA battery pack designed as an optional battery module for HPE DirectFlow three-phase UPS systems. It is specifically used with compatible HPE DirectFlow UPS power units to extend available backup runtime. The pack uses maintenance-free sealed valve-regulated lead-acid technology and supports the modular DirectFlow architecture, making it relevant for HPE server, storage, networking and data-center deployments where additional battery capacity is required.

OVERVIEW

  • The HPE AF482A is a 3U rackmount VRLA battery pack for the HPE DirectFlow UPS platform, providing additional battery capacity for extended backup-runtime requirements. Compatibility: HPE DirectFlow R12000 and R18000 UPS systems. Model comparison: AF482A uses VRLA chemistry, while AF480A is the 1U lithium-ion battery option. 

USE CASES

  • HPE R12000 DirectFlow UPS runtime expansion
  • HPE R18000 DirectFlow UPS runtime expansion
  • Enterprise data-center backup power
  • HPE server infrastructure
  • HPE storage environments
  • Network infrastructure protection
  • Critical IT rack deployments
  • Extended-runtime UPS installations
  • Secondary battery configurations
  • Data-center power continuity planning

KEY FEATURES

  • 3U Rackmount VRLA Battery Pack: Adds dedicated battery capacity within a standardized rack form factor, helping data-center teams increase UPS runtime without changing the primary UPS architecture. 
  • Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Technology: Uses maintenance-free, sealed VRLA batteries, providing a proven battery technology for enterprise UPS backup applications. 
  • DirectFlow Platform Integration: Designed specifically as an HPE DirectFlow battery option, ensuring the battery module is part of the platform's modular UPS architecture. 
  • Support for Extended Runtime: Adds battery capacity to compatible DirectFlow UPS deployments, allowing buyers to design runtime around their actual IT load and continuity requirements. 
  • Parallel Battery Support: HPE specifies that up to two battery packs can be used in parallel with the DirectFlow UPS, provided the battery packs are the same type. 
  • Battery Communication Interface: The battery pack provides DB-15 CAN Bus connections for battery-pack communication, supporting coordinated UPS and battery management. 
  • Dedicated DC Power Connection: DC-to-DC power connectors provide the physical connection between the battery pack and compatible DirectFlow UPS equipment. 
  • Integrated Circuit Breaker: A circuit-breaker switch provides an integrated means of controlling and isolating the battery pack during appropriate service procedures.
