APC Smart-UPS Lithium-ion — Rack/Tower, SmartConnect, 230V
The Smart-UPS SMTL range uses a lithium-ion battery, which APC lists with an 8 to 10 year design life and describes as minimizing the need to replace the battery during the lifetime of the UPS. Seven SKUs cover five capacities from 750VA to 3kVA: the 750VA and 1000VA models are listed as 2U rack/tower, the 1500VA model as 3U rackmount and the 2200VA and 3000VA models as 2U rack. Every model lists a SmartConnect port for cloud-enabled monitoring, with feature availability varying by terms of use. The two NC-suffixed models list a Network Management Card 3 as pre-installed. Built for small edge environments, back offices, network infrastructure and IDF/MDF closets across Dubai and the wider UAE.
