Tripp Lite Debuts UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge Line

April 27, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Tripp Lite has launched a comprehensive, channel-friendly, UPS replacement battery cartridge product line to address the needs of every UPS user.

Whether a new battery is needed to refresh an older UPS system or replace a dead battery, Tripp Lite offers economical, high-performance, certified solutions in the industry. For channel partners, Tripp Lite will supply a new margin opportunity for resellers servicing their accounts.

"Most competitive UPS manufacturers bypass the channel and sell their replacement batteries (as well as their UPS systems) directly to the consumer," said David Slotten, Tripp Lite's Director of Product Management. "Tripp Lite, however, sells all of its products (including replacement batteries and UPS systems) exclusively through its channel partners-providing value-added service and support critical to ensuring 100% availability and protection for consumers' business systems. In addition, Tripp Lite replacement batteries provide superior performance (30% longer runtimes) at competitive prices."

Tripp Lite's battery cartridges currently support more than a dozen UPS brands and hundreds of UPS models, though we intend the product to popularize exponentially. A simple, web-based selector is available to assist users and resellers in finding the correct battery on the company’s web site.

Tripp Lite's replacement batteries are available through the same channel partners that offer Tripp Lite's industry leading power protection and connectivity solutions. Estimated retail prices start at about $30.
