Do you have a recommendation in a unit with a replaceable battery?
I have and really like the BE670M1 unit that i have. Has a built in USB port for charging or powering a device and user replaceable battery. I believe i paid $50 for it and was a few years back and probably listed on slickdeals.

I will say that it recently died on me but had 1 month left on warranty and APC replaced it free and zero shipping charge.

APC is the best brand for UPS units in my opinion and i have worked with hundreds of units over the years.

This should be perfect to softly shutdown a NAS if the power is detected to be running on the battery

I replaced the battery on one. Sucks that the battery was like $5 less than the whole thing when I bought it. It was a pretty simple replacement procedure, nonetheless.
Yeah, since this takes a non-standard size battery, it's a real pain to find replacements at a reasonable cost. I would avoid this UPS for this reason. I have two dead ones sitting around for this reason.

Not sure what you mean by "non-standard size battery". It is a standard 5 amp-hour sealed lead-acid battery sold by Batteries Plus or Interstate or other retailers. I literally bought one this morning and replaced in my own unit. The battery was right around $30... so yes it's silly when the new UPS is the same price.

Also, to comment on the ability to replace the battery - even though there's not an easy access cover to replace the battery, it's literally as simple as removing 4 screws, pulling the battery, disconnecting the spade lug cables, putting them onto the new battery, and putting everything back together. Took 5 minutes.

Had older model BN with USB, with a door, in white. Felt like it had a short life span. But I needed a cheap one, so I gave it a go again. This says 3 year warranty on staples. I see $22 for replacement battery on ebay.

Watched the video, doesn't appear to have any exterior connections. Has a fuse reset button, power button, removable orange fuse. That's it.

A lot of people on this forum would say otherwise. APC used to be the only game in town but as I understand it their low end consumer stuff is pretty iffy.

Unrelated; I find it frustrating how hard it is to find a UPS with any kind of PC integration for a reasonable price.

In for one despite the negatives. Good price

If you dont have one yet for your router/modem then get this just to have it there. In a few years when it beeps at you to replace the battery, come back to this site and get whatever is on-sale at that time.

But having one of these for just the short power outages in the winter can be very useful and worth the $30.

I have this. It's worth about $20. It's a power strip and does not serve an APC function for any device for any duration.
I bought about 10 different devices of different brands. The 3 of this I got suffered the same brownout for a second as the others and all 3 PCs failed instantly, while the other 7 were fine.

A power strip is about $20 (not on sale) and that's what you'll get. Also, it beeps.

I picked this one up awhile back; it works well but is pretty low capacity – it kept my router and modem running for a few hours during an outage
