Emerson UPS Batteries

Emerson UPS: what changed

Liebert UPS were sold under Emerson Network Power until that business was spun off as Vertiv in 2016. Today, all current Liebert-branded UPS is sold and serviced under Vertiv. Legacy Emerson and Liebert UPS deployed before 2016 (PowerSure PSI, UPStation GXT, GXT2, GXT3, NPower, NX, ITA, ITON) remain in active service across many Canadian sites and use SLA replacement cartridges.
