Xtreme Power Standby UPS Systems

What is an XPC standby UPS?

Standby (offline) UPS topology runs the load directly from utility power and switches to battery only during an outage or out-of-tolerance event. Right fit for desktop, point-of-sale, digital signage, kiosk, network edge, and small-office equipment.

XPC's standby catalog has two distinct lines: lithium-based J60 / J60C / J60i / J60Ci for sites that need long battery service life and high-temperature tolerance (digital signage, kiosks, hot equipment closets), and SLA-based A60 for traditional home and small-office workstation protection. UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA stocks both lines with matching XPC replacement batteries. For server rooms or any load that needs AVR and pure sine output, step up to XPC line-interactive UPS. For full XPC catalog, see Xtreme Power Conversion.

XPC standby families

J60 / J60C lithium specs: rated up to 15 years or 3,000–5,000 discharge cycles, operating to 50 °C (122 °F) with derating above 40 °C, up to 7 minutes runtime at full load on J60 / 6 minutes on J60C. Standard 5-year factory warranty (USA and Canada) on electronics and battery, 2-year warranty when ambient sits between 40 °C and 50 °C. UL or CE, RoHS, TAA compliant.

How to choose

Lithium J60 vs SLA A60

J60 / J60C wins for long-deployment digital-signage / kiosk / unattended sites, 15-year battery life and 50 °C operating range eliminate truck rolls in environments where SLA fails fast. A60 wins for budget home / small-office workstation protection where the deployment is cool, attended, and short-horizon, and a 3-year SLA service life is acceptable.

Form factor

J60 / J60i: ultra-slim brick (under 1.6" H). Hides behind monitors, mounts on the back of digital signage. J60C / J60Ci: 1U rack or wall-mount, 8.5" depth, fits tight closets and short-depth racks. A60-550 / A60-850: compact tower, also wall-mountable. Touch LCD and USB charging port included on A60-850 only.

Sizing

Add nameplate watts of every load on the UPS, multiply by 1.25 buffer, pick UPS whose watt rating exceeds. POS terminal + receipt printer ~120 W → A60-550 / 330 W marginal, step up to A60-850 / 500 W. Digital signage display + media player ~150 W → J60-600 / 360 W with headroom. UPS sizing guide.

Spec reference

A60 ships with USB shutdown communication and includes XPC's $25,000 connected-equipment Load Protection Policy. UL, cUL, Energy Star, TAA compliant. Optional external SNMP-USB card for network monitoring.

Warranty (USA and Canada): J60 / J60C 5 years electronics/battery, derated to 2 years above 40 °C ambient. A60 3 years electronics/battery, with optional 5-year extended warranty (A605SP). Coordinated through our Canadian team. Shipped from Canada: see shipping policy for rates and timing.

FAQ

Why pay extra for J60 lithium over A60 SLA?

15-year rated battery service life vs 3-year SLA, 50 °C operating range vs ~25 °C climate-controlled. For a digital-signage deployment, kiosk fleet, or POS rollout where the unit lives in a hot enclosure or behind a display, J60 typically pays back through avoided battery replacement and truck rolls.

Where does J60C 1U fit?

J60C is the 1U rack-mount lithium standby, 8.5" deep, fits short-depth network closets and patch cabinets. Wall-mount-capable for closets without rack space. The J60Ci 230 V variant uses IEC C14 inlet for international cabling.

What's the J60 runtime?

Up to 7 minutes at full load on J60-350 / 600. Up to 6 minutes at full load on J60C-600. Higher at partial loads: full runtime tables ship with the unit and are available on request.

Is the J60 lithium pack replaceable?

By XPC at end-of-life, yes: but the 15-year rated service life means most deployments retire the UPS before the pack. UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA does not stock aftermarket lithium replacements for J60: chemistry, BMS, and certification require factory XPC parts.

Can the A60 protect a server?

Generally no. A60 is designed for desktop, POS, and small-office workstation. For a rack server or networking, step up to S71 or P80 line-interactive or T91 / P91 online.

Network monitoring on standby?

A60 ships with USB. Optional external SNMP-USB card adds web/SNMP for environments that monitor UPS via NMS. J60 / J60C support optional SNMP-2PV3 internal card for network-level monitoring.

Canadian warranty?

Yes: XPC J60 and A60 warranty terms explicitly cover USA and Canada. Coordinated through our Canadian team. Shipped from Canada.
