APC Smart-UPS SRT 192V 8kVA and 10kVA Battery Pack
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Smart-UPS SRT 192V 8kVA and 10kVA Battery Pack (SRT192BP2) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Extended Runtime for APC Smart-UPS SRT 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K)
The APC SRT192BP2 is a ±192 V DC (split battery referenced to neutral) external battery pack for the Smart-UPS On-Line SRT range, built to add autonomy to 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K) systems. Where the internal battery buys you a clean shutdown, an external pack buys you the option of riding an outage out — the difference between a controlled stop and continuous service for a Singapore server room or comms cabinet during a storm-season interruption on the PUB supply.
Which Smart-UPS SRT Models the SRT192BP2 Fits
This pack is keyed to the 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K) band. Schneider is explicit that each external battery pack carries a keyed mating connector compatible only with its corresponding UPS, and that the UPS does not support any other make or type of battery pack — so the part number matters. The 5 kVA / 6 kVA band uses a different pack. The full compatibility list is in the Compatibility block below.
Maintenance, Service Life and Singapore Conditions
The pack uses lead-acid (vrla) cells and takes the APCRBC140 replacement battery cartridge, so the batteries are a serviceable item rather than a reason to replace the whole pack. Heat is the main determinant of battery life: an unconditioned comms cupboard in Singapore will shorten service life noticeably compared with a cooled room. Schneider rates the pack for 0-40°C operation at 0-95% non-condensing humidity — keeping the cabinet cool is the cheapest life-extension measure available to you.
Installation and Local Singapore Supply
The SRT192BP2 is a floor-standing tower unit and connects to the UPS with the supplied keyed cable. It is a heavy item — an external battery pack of substantial weight — so plan the lift and, in a rack, mount it low in the cabinet. SourceIT supplies the SRT192BP2 from Singapore stock with a GST invoice and local warranty support; batteries are consumable items, so ordering locally rather than importing avoids both the freight restrictions that apply to lead-acid shipments and an overseas RMA if a cell fails early.

Compatibility & Runtime
Which UPS models the SRT192BP2 fits. This pack is built for the APC Smart-UPS On-Line SRT 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K) band. The models SourceIT stocks in that band are:
| SRT8KXLI | 8,000 VA / 8,000 W · Tower |
| SRT8KRMXLI | 8,000 VA / 8,000 W · Rackmount 6U |
| SRT10KRMXLI | 10,000 VA / 10,000 W · Rackmount 6U |
Keyed connector — the part number matters. Schneider states that each external battery pack has a keyed mating connector that is only compatible with its corresponding UPS, and that the UPS does not support any other make or type of battery pack. Ordering the wrong pack in the SRT range is not a matter of an adapter; it will not connect. If you are unsure which band your unit is in, send SourceIT the UPS part number and we will confirm before you order.
Battery bus. This pack runs at ±192 V DC (split battery referenced to neutral), matching the internal battery bus of the 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K) UPS models above.
How many packs. Schneider states the UPS will recognise up to 10 packs for extended runtime. Recharge time increases with each pack added, and so does the floor loading or rack weight budget — check both before committing to a multi-pack configuration.
Runtime depends on load. An external battery pack extends autonomy but does not increase the UPS output rating — the SRT192BP2 cannot make a UPS carry more watts. Runtime is not linear with load either: halving the load more than doubles the time on battery. Send SourceIT your measured load in watts and the target autonomy in minutes and we will size the pack count for you.
Placement. This is the tower-orientation pack, sized to stand alongside a tower SRT unit rather than to be racked. If your UPS is rack mounted, order SRT192RMBP2 instead — the rackmount pack in the same band.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC SRT192BP2
Which APC Smart-UPS models does the SRT192BP2 fit?
It is built for the Smart-UPS On-Line SRT 8 kVA and 10 kVA (SRT8K / SRT10K) band. In SourceIT's catalogue that means SRT8KXLI, SRT8KRMXLI, SRT10KRMXLI. Schneider uses a keyed connector that only mates with the corresponding UPS, so a pack from the other band will not physically connect — check the UPS part number before ordering, or send it to us and we will confirm.
Will this pack make my UPS carry more equipment?
No. An external battery pack extends runtime, not output capacity. The UPS output rating in watts is fixed by the inverter, not the battery. If you need to power more equipment, you need a larger UPS; if you need the same equipment to stay up for longer, this is the right product.
How much extra runtime will I get?
That depends on your load in watts, and we would rather calculate it than quote a headline number. Runtime is not linear with load — halving the load more than doubles the time on battery. Send SourceIT your measured load and the autonomy you need and we will work out how many packs it takes.
Can I replace the batteries inside the pack, or do I replace the whole unit?
The batteries are serviceable. The SRT192BP2 takes the APCRBC140 replacement battery cartridge, so when the cells reach end of life you replace the cartridge rather than the entire pack. Plan on that every three to five years; heat is the main determinant, so a hot cabinet will bring the date forward.
Can I mix this pack with a third-party battery pack?
No. Schneider states plainly that the UPS does not support any other make or type of battery pack. Beyond the warranty question, the UPS relies on knowing the pack's chemistry and capacity to charge it correctly and to calculate remaining runtime — a foreign pack breaks both.
What is the difference between the SRT192BP2 and the SRT192RMBP2?
They are the same electrical pack in different orientations: SRT192BP2 is the tower version and SRT192RMBP2 is the rackmount 3u version. Match the pack to how the UPS itself is deployed. See SRT192RMBP2.
How heavy is it, and what do I need to prepare?
Schneider does not publish a net weight for this exact part number that we can cite, but SRT external battery packs in this class are substantial — expect a heavy item. Plan a two-person lift, and in a rack mount it as low as the cabinet allows. Check rack weight limits and floor loading against your building specification before installing multiple packs.
Is the SRT192BP2 covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every APC SRT192BP2 sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRT192BP2 with a 2 year repair-or-replace manufacturer warranty.
