Vertiv Liebert GXT5LI 1500VA Lithium-Ion Online UPS 2U Rack/Tower
The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion UPS delivers premium power protection for critical IT infrastructure in server rooms, network closets, and edge applications. With 1500VA/1500W capacity, online double-conversion technology, and advanced lithium-ion batteries, this 2U rack/tower UPS ensures continuous power conditioning with zero transfer time and pure sine wave output to protect your equipment from outages, brownouts, and power disturbances.
Why Choose Lithium-Ion Technology?
Lithium-ion batteries offer significant advantages over traditional VRLA batteries. They last up to 3 times longer, reducing maintenance costs and battery replacements by up to 50%. With faster recharge times (less than 2 hours to 90%), higher temperature tolerance, and smaller, lighter construction, lithium-ion technology makes this UPS ideal for distributed IT deployments and edge locations where space and efficiency are critical.

Intelligent Management & Monitoring
The GXT5 Lithium-Ion UPS features a full-color LCD display with gravity-sensing orientation for easy viewing in rack or tower configuration. Four individually programmable outlets allow load shedding and prioritization of critical equipment during battery operation. Optional RDU120 network card (included in select models) enables secure remote monitoring via SNMP/web management, with USB and serial connectivity for local management using Vertiv Power Insight software.
Advanced Battery Management
The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) monitors lithium-ion cell health in real time, managing charging, depth of discharge, temperature, and voltage to prevent overcharging and ensure safe operation throughout the battery's extended lifespan. Visual and audible alarms provide early warning of input voltage issues, output overload, low battery, or battery replacement conditions.
Flexible Deployment Options
Whether you need rack-mounted power protection for your data center or tower configuration for an office environment, the GXT5 adapts to your requirements. The compact 2U design fits standard 19-inch racks, while included tower feet enable standalone installation. Lighter weight compared to lead-acid models (under 40 lbs) allows for single-person installation.
Applications
Ideal for protecting servers, network equipment, telecommunications systems, and critical IT infrastructure in education, government, healthcare, retail, banking, and financial services. Perfect for small processing centers, mission-critical application servers, IP/PBX voice networks, and distributed IT locations requiring reliable backup power with extended runtime capability.
