Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion UPS 5kVA

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 5kVA is a true online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply engineered around an integrated lithium-ion battery system, replacing traditional VRLA chemistry to deliver a significantly longer service life—typically exceeding 10 years—while reducing overall system weight and physical footprint by up to 50 percent compared to equivalent lead-acid configurations. The double-conversion topology ensures zero transfer time during utility anomalies, continuously regenerating a clean, regulated sine wave output that isolates connected loads from voltage sags, surges, harmonics, and frequency deviations inherent in commercial utility feeds. This architecture makes it particularly effective for protecting sensitive IT equipment where even microsecond power interruptions can cause data corruption or hardware damage.

The GXT5 5kVA operates at a unity power factor (1.0), meaning the 5kVA apparent power rating translates directly to 5kW of real power output—eliminating the capacity derating that affects legacy 0.9 power factor designs and allowing administrators to fully populate modern high-efficiency servers with power factors near 1.0. The lithium-ion battery pack supports hot-swap capability and integrates battery management system (BMS) intelligence that actively monitors cell temperature, state of charge, and cycle count, communicating health data upstream through the UPS management interface. Recharge time to 90 percent capacity is achieved in approximately two hours, substantially faster than VRLA equivalents and critical for restoring runtime margins after extended outages.

Designed for deployment at the network edge, in distributed server rooms, and in co-location racks, the GXT5 ships in a 2U rack-mount form factor with front-panel accessibility for serviceability in constrained spaces. Native communication options include USB, RS-232, and a dry-contact interface, with an optional network management card enabling SNMP, Modbus, and integration with Vertiv's Liebert Nform and third-party DCIM platforms. The unit supports optional external battery modules (EBMs) to extend runtime beyond internal capacity, and its wide input voltage window reduces unnecessary battery cycling during brownout conditions, preserving cell longevity across the installation lifetime.

Ideal for

• Edge computing node protection: Maintaining continuous uptime for ruggedized edge servers and IoT gateways in remote or unmanned facilities where generator backup is absent and lithium-ion's wide temperature tolerance is advantageous.
• Server room rack power conditioning: Providing zero-transfer-time, double-conversion protection for blade chassis and 1U/2U rack servers in distributed enterprise server rooms where clean power and small footprint are equally critical.
• Network closet UPS replacement: Refreshing aging VRLA-based UPS installations in wiring closets with a lighter, longer-lived lithium-ion solution that reduces maintenance intervals and floor-loading concerns.
• Healthcare IT infrastructure: Supplying uninterrupted, conditioned power to medical imaging workstations, EMR servers, and clinical networking switches where regulatory uptime requirements and equipment sensitivity demand online double-conversion topology.
• Retail and branch office IT: Protecting POS servers, VoIP gateways, and surveillance NVRs in space-constrained retail back-office racks where multi-year lithium-ion service life reduces total operational disruption from battery replacements.
• Telecommunications and ISP edge PoPs: Delivering reliable runtime and voltage regulation for routing, switching, and optical transport equipment at carrier edge points of presence where power quality can be highly variable.
