Eaton Tripp Lite SMART1500LCDXL 2U Rackmount UPS AVR 1500VA 900W

The Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro SMART1500LCDXL is a strong choice when you want a step up from a basic UPS, especially if you care about two things, better voltage regulation in tough power conditions, and the ability to extend runtime later. It is a 120V, 1500VA 900W line interactive UPS designed to protect desktop computers, AV systems, and network gear from blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise.

A big part of what makes this model useful day to day is AVR. It corrects undervoltages as low as 75V and overvoltages up to 147V without switching to battery, which helps preserve battery life and keeps your equipment stable during voltage swings. When power does fail, it transfers to battery in milliseconds, giving you time to save work and shut down cleanly to avoid data loss.

For runtime, it is rated at about 12 minutes at 50% load (450W) and about 4.18 minutes at full load (900W). That is typically enough for safe shutdown of a PC or small rack of gear. If you need longer backup windows, the SMART1500LCDXL supports extended runtime by connecting an optional external battery pack, which is ideal for home offices that cannot drop internet, small business POS systems, or AV racks where you want extra cushion.

You also get practical outlet capacity. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets protect against surges and support multiple devices in one place. Protection is reinforced with 1038 joules of surge suppression and EMI RFI noise filtering, which helps reduce the power noise that can cause random reboots, audio interference, or premature power supply wear.

Monitoring is straightforward. The large rotatable LCD shows real-time input voltage, load, AVR operation, remaining runtime, and battery status, and it stays readable in both rack and tower installs. USB and DB9 ports support monitoring and automated shutdown, and the unit works with PowerAlert software for unattended shutdown during prolonged outages. With a 97% efficiency rating, it also runs cooler and wastes less power, which matters in tight closets and racks.

Benefits
You keep computers, AV systems, and network equipment protected from unstable power and outages, with AVR that corrects severe voltage swings without draining the battery. You get a clear view of load and runtime from the rotatable LCD, plus easy monitoring through USB or DB9 for safe shutdown. And if your needs grow, extended runtime support gives you a path to longer backup without replacing the UPS.
