I’m looking for a new UPS to replace an almost 10 years old APC beast that’s having issues, but I’m not sure what to buy.
I’ll be using it to power a small home server and some network equipment in an area where there are occasional power outages (but they last 2-3 hours). My requirements are:
- 300-600€ range
- At least 1500VA, 900W
- Doesn’t make noise unless it’s on battery
- Must not require proprietary software to monitor it or to calibrate the battery and other basic stuff (if it works with apcupsd or NUT it would be perfect)
- No weird battery format
What would you recommend?
Thanks!
I have a couple APC and Tripplite rack-mount UPSs as well as a couple CyberPower desktop models. Of the bunch, I’m most happy with the Tripplites. I’ll check the model and add that in.
