Prostar PET1103+Li is a 3kVA lithium UPS for professional PC systems, workstations, network devices, edge computing equipment, and small IT infrastructures that require stable and uninterrupted power protection. This 3kVA lithium UPS uses 48V LiFePO4 lithium battery technology and online double conversion topology. It outputs pure sine wave, transfers at 0 ms, achieves 95% efficiency in double-conversion mode and 98% in ECO mode, and supports 6,000+ cycles at 80% DoD versus 300–500 cycles for lead-acid systems. This lithium battery UPS suits users who need long runtime, lower maintenance, and intelligent power management.
Critical Power Challenge in Modern Computing Environments
Modern high-performance PCs, multi-GPU AI development workstations, and rack servers use Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) with Active Power Factor Correction (PFC). Line-interactive UPS units and lead-acid backups fail in these environments due to three systemic vulnerabilities:
Transfer Time Latencies and Waveform Distortion
Line-interactive UPS units introduce a 4ms to 20ms transfer lag during power dips or blackouts. Active PFC PC power supplies trigger an instantaneous low-voltage shutdown within 4ms–8ms. This causes unrecorded data loss, corruption of machine-learning models, or hardware strain.
Rapid Degradation of Lead-Acid (VRLA) Batteries
Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries have 300 to 500 cycles or 2–3 years of service life. In high-density PC environments with ambient thermal load, VRLA cells undergo thermal runaway and capacity degradation. This requires replacements every 2–3 years.
Voltage Fluctuations, Harmonics, and Grid Noise
Commercial electrical grids produce micro-sags, transient surges, frequency drifts, and total harmonic distortion (THD). Unconditioned power erodes semiconductor components inside GPUs and CPUs over time and reduces system longevity.
PET1103+Li 3kVA Lithium UPS Architecture
The PET1103+Li 3kVA lithium UPS addresses power anomalies through online double-conversion engineering paired with a 48V lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) energy storage matrix.
The system converts AC power to DC and back to AC. This decouples connected PCs from grid fluctuations and delivers a continuous pure sine wave output with 0 ms transfer time.
For professional users, a 3kVA lithium UPS with online double conversion provides higher protection by converting incoming AC power into DC and reconstructing a clean AC output continuously.
The PET1103+Li solves these challenges by combining:
- 48V lithium battery technology
- Online double conversion architecture
- High power density design
- Intelligent battery management
- Long service life energy storage

Product Key Features
True Online Double-Conversion Topology
The PET1103+Li functions as a continuous power filter. It rectifies utility AC power to 48V DC to charge the lithium array. A precision inverter generates an AC sine wave with THD < 2% for linear loads. During grid sags or blackouts, the output waveform remains unchanged.
48V LiFePO4 Lithium Battery System
The integrated 48V lithium battery architecture improves reliability and battery performance.
- Longer backup lifespan
- Better thermal stability
- Higher charging efficiency
- Reduced replacement frequency
This makes it a reliable 48V lithium UPS for PC and network equipment.
Eco Mode & Dynamic Efficiency Tuning
The PET1103+Li achieves 95% efficiency in double-conversion mode and over 98% in ECO mode. It minimizes heat dissipation and active cooling overhead and lowers energy consumption in continuous operating environments.
Intelligent Charging Management for Longer Battery Life
The built-in intelligent charging system supports:
- High-current rapid charging algorithms
- Adjustable charging current
- Adjustable charging mode through LCD panel
- Battery protection management
This helps reduce charging time after power recovery and improves overall battery utilization.
Intelligent Battery Management System (BMS)
An integrated industrial BMS monitors cell-level voltages, currents, state-of-charge (SoC), state-of-health (SoH), and temperatures in real time. The BMS balances cells during charge cycles and prevents overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and thermal stress.
Generator Compatible Design
PET1103+Li supports generator input, making it suitable for areas with unstable grids.
Applications include:
- Remote offices
- Industrial sites
- Telecom locations
- Backup power systems
Communication Protocol Compatibility
The UPS inverter and BMS exchange data via RS485. Protocols include Pylontech (RS485 and CANbus). The system reports per‑cell voltage, per‑cell temperature, SoC, and alarm flags every 1 second.
Intelligent LCD Monitoring System
The UPS features an advanced LCD interface providing real-time information:
- Input voltage
- Output voltage
- Battery status
- Load percentage
