I’m running a rather small homelab and am hunting for a good UPS to help keep everything running smoothly. My top priorities are:

  • Just enough battery life to keep things running until they can be shut down
  • Compatible with open source software for monitoring and automated shutdown

Would I have better luck getting a used one and a new battery, or a brand new unit altogether? Anyone have one they don’t need anymore, on that note? 👀

Thanks for the advice!

    Was going to say this too. I boitstrapped a financial trading compny using mostly cyberpower uos at the desks so have run a few hubdred of them over the last fifteen years with nounexpected problems. Replace them after fice years and rarely hd any die prematurely. Not to say this is a good idea, just that it imokies quality iant terrible. Lol
