It also appears that the battery is not user-replaceable on this model. Not knocking that the price/value isn't pretty good, but things to keep in mind.

And I do not actually know the alarm's decibel rating, only that it hurt my ears the entire time I was waiting for my system to shut down.
Oh I get what you are saying now. Yeah that's nuts. I really think the one I had was a cyberpower rebranded one. The alarm was no wear near hurting your ears even right next to it and the alarm would stop once the electricity was back. No need to unplug to stop it, that sounds super annoying and a terrible design. Funny since I thought APC was top dog for UPS's.
They should. Based on my research over the years the manufacturers have gotten to the point they don't let your batteries actually get fully charged or depleted to avoid catastrophic failure or reduced life span due to user neglect. Even if some mfg wanted the batteries to die quickly, for like planned obsolescence, they would need to manufacture the cells themselves or spec it from china to remove that basic protection. In that case people would avoid them like the plague for their 90's & 00's NiCad type battery tech. Competition has helped a ton with this.
Tesla just announced they plan to remove the lead acid batteries from their cars. Your standard lead acid battery is only going to last 5 years before you should replace it. I think lithium ion needs to go a long way and prove itself before I feel I can keep an electric car for 20 years, but they have come a very long way.
As an aside I thought these were the APC units designed for networking equipment. Those use lithium ion and I was actually thinking of getting one for the longest time, but I refer back to my last post on why I decided not to. If you need these to be a backup for your computer I would really double check your specs. The wattage is under 300. Granted tech has come a long way at being power efficient, but I doubt any PC ships with a smaller power supply then 300 watts unless it's a mini or small form factor home theater type pc. Even then this seems to be the unit to avoid.

This is definitely a no buy then if the battery isn't replaceable. These things tend to go on sale when the battery is about to go
These are no more difficult or dangerous (LOL seriously?) than any other UPS. i.e. you can always plug in the battery backwards if you want to. Yeah, you will see a green circuit board near the battery and no you shouldn't work on these plugged in or poking at the electronics. But, they are no more complex or risky.
HOWEVER these have a slightly non-standard lead acid battery (I think they were 12V 3.5 4 or 5AH) which will run about $30-$40 vs the standard 12V 7AH batteries that most 1000VAish units take which run $20 ea (usually needing a pair of them) so take that for what it's worth.
The ones we do have deployed seem to be quite reliable as compared to the tower units we have which seem to have a 10-20% / yr failure rate (fail not battery going bad).

You can probably get it cheaper once it shows up on Direct Tools Outlet or goes clearance at Home Depot, but if you are not in the Ryobi tool system you can add two 4AH batteries and charger for a $100 total https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../315424283 [homedepot.com]
It looks like that deal sold out online, but if you find a store with the inverter and batteries it will still work until August 1st.
Regardless I think the inverter with Lithium tool batteries is the way to go for your modem/router. Battery is easily replaceable, they don't lose their charge as quickly over long periods of time, and that saves you some $ on your energy bill. You can also use the batteries in your tools. If your internet connection is mission critical the UPS is better, but that short runtime is going to make you need to find a solution in an hour or so anyway when it dies not to mention the higher up front cost for each minute of power and the constant draw added to your meter.
I don't have a 40V battery, but I did find this at direct tools outlet:

Pure Sine Wave too! No idea how much the battery cost though. Probably pricey.
I have tried to use the PC software in the past to set them up to disable the alarm. I thought this worked, but I also remember a late night episode when the alarm was going off, and I connected my laptop to the UPC to turn off the alarm, but as soon as I hooked up the laptop, it shut down because you could not put the software in manage only state. The software always shut down the PC when the UPC was on battery mode and I couldn't get the alarm turned off fast enough before the shutdown started. So I smashed the power button and hard shut down all my equipment and went back to bed.
It seems that APC took an extra decade to figure out that we could use their products to keep our DVRs and routers powered up. I remember calling them about this and they said that their UPS where not designed for anything but a PC and it was basically tough s*** that I didn't like the alarm going off because I was using their product in an unauthorized manner. Their customer service was crap.
And it is basically unbelievable that they switched to non-replaceable batteries. They sell replacement batteries for 2-3x the cost of generics. Maybe people stopped buying their overpriced replacements.

If you're having problems with the alarm, and you didn't care about waiting warranty, I wonder if you could literally just stab out the speaker...
Stay away at all costs!
