I feel like the first one to make a reasonably priced UPS with lithium ion batteries will sweep the market. Reasonably priced meaning only twice the cost of these lead acid monstrosities. Would gladly pay extra for something that is smaller, lasts 20 years, and isn't wasting electricity constantly.
The model you linked is a simulated sine wave model, while the UPC in this deal post is a pure sine wave model.

These will take like-sized LiFePo4 batteries. We have rack-mounted CyberPower UPS's that needed batteries replaced, so I replaced all with LiFePo4. These take 2 of the same size ones if you don't mind tinkering. They're about $32/each, though. I also replaced with a higher Ah (10Ah vs stock 7Ah, or maybe was 9Ah?).

Here's ones that should fit it: https://a.co/d/4ttaaXO
Doing that makes your 1000w ups a 250w ups. If you the battery load is over 256w it shuts off

This is 100% not true.

We have a 3000W CyberPower rack-mounted UPS, which I also just replaced the 4 lead-acid batteries in with the ones I previously linked. UPS is currently at a 21% load, so ~650W. As a test, I just now pulled the UPS's power cable from the wall and it stayed on just fine, and had a 22m runtime.

Yes. Connect the USB cable from the UPS to your computer and download PowerPanel Personal (https://www.cyberpowersystems.com...-personal/).

If it's not a pure sine wave unit, just forget about it. You can thank me later.

That Costco unit is also Pure Sine Wave. Costco have a cheaper unit that is simulated sine wave.
I think the only significant difference based on the specs is Costco's unit is 900W and this Staple's one is 1000W.

I must be unlucky, because I can never find a sine wave inverter at Costco in minnesota!

CyberPower 1500VA / 900Watts True Sine Wave Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Item 1350936

Model CST1500S
Does anyone know the diff between the Staples model on sale and the above sold at Costco? I bought the above on sale last Summer and really like it and would not mind the Staples one if it is jsut as good or better.

I've got both. Costco used to also sell this exact model (end in 1500PFCLCD) pre-Covid. I've been waiting for it but they never brought it back (yet).

Biggest differences: Current Costco model (1500S) do not have color LCD (don't need), and only 10 outlets, vs 12 on here (great to have).

But Costco version is also cheaper, selling at $179.99-30 = $149.99 on sale.

Costco almost never sell pure sine wave in store, only simulated ones. Pure sine wave is only online, frequently on sale too.

Same, I'm not buying anymore of these until they make a LFP one

1500VA true sine UPS's haven't been $99 in over a decade. The last time I got one was in 2016 for $130, and that was an FP slickdeal and an excellent price at the time.
Not quite $100 but I got one of these for ~$115 in 2019.

Quote from liqwicked :

Yes. You should be able to find it on their website.

Quote from rms154 :
Any idea the difference between the chargers for lithium batterie and lead batteries? I have read it is not recommended to use lead base charger or applications for Lithium as damage could occur / life expectancy will be degraded.
I am sure UPS's are designed for charging lead based batteries and not lithium. But not really sure what is considered as charging as there is a level of power sent to the batteries.
Any insight from anyone would be appreciated.
Quote from Ironsight :
I didn't know you could replace lead batteries with a LiFePo4. I thought they would have to be charged differently.
Not just charging but also discharging. Most LiFePo4 batteries have a much lower max discharge current than a comparable SLA. The linked LiFePo4 battery has max discharge currents of 10A/20A (continuous/peak). The comparable SLA battery is rated for 100A/130A. This UPS is rated for 1000W and takes 2 batteries. Using the linked LiFePo4 batteries would limit the UPS to approximately 250W.

Quote from marvin83 :
Yep, this. Zero issues putting them in the UPS and double-checked by pulling the outlet from the wall and everything still ran without issue.

Also, ensure you charge the batteries, as recommended by the battery manufacturer, prior to installing them in the UPS. I bought some simple Noco one for like $30 on Amazon. It was helpful as it also did both 6V (our 1U UPS used 6V lead-acid that I sadly had to use lead-acid since no LiFePo4 options in that size) and Lithium (lithium setting for both Li-Ion and LiFePo4).
For reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W46BX31

The batteries you linked would not be good for this UPS, as they don't support a sufficient discharge current. As noted above, they are only rated for 10A continuous (20A peak for 5 seconds). 4 of these batteries would support up to 512W continuous and 1024W peak. The load meters on some of these UPSs aren't particularly accurate. It's likely you're pushing the limits of what these batteries can handle.

Dang, they canceled on me.

I thought I was crazy for buying two in 2019 for $130 each when I should've bought 4+...
