I searched Cyperpower, so hope it's not a repost.
It's $165 on Amazon.

A mini-tower UPS with line interactive topology, the CyberPower PFC Sinewave CP1000PFCLCD provides battery backup (using sine wave output) and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems requiring active PFC power source compatibility.

The CP1000PFCLCD features an advanced multifunction control panel with a color LCD to quickly confirm status and alerts at-a-glance. The screen tilts for easy viewing when the UPS is placed in a low position such as under a desk. Two USB charge ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) power portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, even during a utility power failure.

The CP1000PFCLCD uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently. The CP1000PFCLCD comes with a three-year warranty (including coverage of batteries) and a $350,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee.

i just had a near 3 year old cyberpower 1500 sinewave ups fry itself the other day. a couple of days before that it started clicking every so often and the front lcd lit up, so that was a warning sign. The other ups were not clicking so there werent any power dips. i was very lucky as i had just arrived home and then it started crackling, popped, and some smoke came out the top vents. I grabbed it and ran outside with it. since it was barely still within the 3 year warranty its getting rma for exchange.

going price on other sites is $165, so saving about $35

note that this takes one 12v battery. the battery is about $20. so $20 of that $130 is the cost of the battery -- edit credit to PureDreams

batteries last up to 3-5 years, depending upon your power dips/outages.
You can get this on eBay direct from Cyberpower for $113.99 with free shipping - https://www.ebay.com/itm/31420398...7027058332

Mine blew up.last week. Battery died, screaming non stop until.unplugged. These things are shit.
If it's just the battery and you got at least 3 years out of it then that's normal. UPS batteries typically last 3-6 years. The batteries are easy to replace, just 2 small screws. But if your unit actually "blew up" or the batteries died before 3 years then you have a valid complaint.

To avoid surprise battery death one should test their UPS at least once every year. It's simple with the self test feature or one could just unplug the unit to see if the battery can keep the devices connected to it running.

Funny you say that. Just 2 days ago, while playing Days Gone, the lights flickered and my PC/monitor/router turned off. Looked down and my CyberPower UPS was also off. The other PC (connected to a different UPS) and everything else in the house had power.

It was pretty windy out, so having the lights dim/flicker isn't unexpected. The issue is, I'm not sure if the lights dimming was wind-related or UPS related. AFAIK, the UPS should stay powered on and not have an issue with power dips/surges vs shutting off completely.

It did power back on, while unplugged, and I didn't have any other issues. It's roughly 4 years old and has gotten "real" use about 5-6 times, and a couple dozen events of power going out for 1-10 seconds. I always lose power while on the PC and hadn't any issues since the other day, when the power didn't go out. So it is a bit concerning now. Might have to pop up the user manual and see if that was some sort of safety or if maybe my settings are a bit off.

APC is a much better UPS brand anyways! laugh out loud
Not always. A few years back we had a large APC UPS on our EDI server. The factory's power went out for a couple minutes. When it came back on the UPS smoked, the server's power supply fried, and also took out the SSD's (Blessed are the pessimists, for they hath made backups). The UPS should've protected against that. No other servers or PC's in the plant had problems, and some of them only had surge protectors.

We've since replaced our APC's with Cyberpower and not had any issues.

Are you using more power than the UPS can provide? Did you play the game when you unplugged the UPS? That will have a different power draw then when your PC is at idle. If the UPS still has the original batteries then they likely need to be replaced after 4 years. On my CyberPower unit when the batteries are dead or close to it the unit will turn off if there's a dip in power or when turning on the PC, sudden spike in power demand.

You seem to have slickdeals confused with reddit or twitter. This is the place for deal talk, not for your garbage opinions.

I would think something being a deal would depend on whether it's going to burn down your house. I'll just assume you have no answer or helpful response... and you might want to stop making false claims/implications of houses burning down (or at least be able to back up the claim). Just a thought.

It's already been discussed here in this very topic the fire hazards of aging UPS. There's plenty of available and easy to find information right at your fingertips if you can figure out how to use Google.

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/...re_hazard/

Your "useful" contribution to this discussion has been telling me to replace a battery that hasn't failed, and that it doesn't matter if you have a fire as you have insurance. God I hope nobody other than you lives there.

Regardless, welcome to my ignore list buddy.

I don't think you can really say either of these vendors consistently makes a poor product. Every product from them is different, on lines ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

When the power came back on you likely got an external transient surge which the UPS didn't mitigate. Surge protection is included in UPS systems but you don't typically want to rely just on that. We have surge protectors at the breaker panels in our data rooms to remove the surge before getting to equipment, so hopefully the UPS never sees it. Surge protection also degrades over time. Every power surge your surge protector absorbs decreases the amount of future joules it absorbs (which is another reason the average person shouldn't keep a UPS forever by just swapping new batteries in). If this server is out on the floor, and you had some large motorized device power up near the server when power came on, that could have created an internal transient surge, which only the surge protection on the UPS could mitigate. If that had been happening regularly, over time the surge protection on that UPS could have been compromised, meaning the same could be happening with the UPS you purchased as a replacement.

TL/DR You could have internal transient surges degrading over time the UPS's ability to mitigate a large future surge that will fry the server again.

The most I've ever seen for load displayed is about ~330W. I believe its rated for 600W, so I should be good there. I've got another, smaller output/capacity CyperPower that is 3 years older as well, also in use still, and it still works as intended (to give me time to shut things down). I powered the unit back up while unplugged and it was fine, showed ~40-60 minutes of runtime. I might go ahead and replace the batteries in both units, as even just running one modem and router on one unit, and a router on the other unit, only gives me about 60-90 minutes of runtime, whereas the unit itself is estimating 600-900 minutes.

I had an old APC die this past summer. It just stopped working completely and had a constant beep, and some old UPS we had in a server room at work also just gave a constant beeping when the batteries were dead. I'll just have to dig a bit and see what I can find. Maybe it'll push me into the direction of a LiPo /LiFePO4 power generator with solar input, then I won't have to worry about it for a decade or two.

That's actually some good info. I've known that basic surge protectors lose their ability to protect devices over time, but stupidly I thought a UPS might work differently with advanced circuitry or ability to load-level. We moved 2 years back to an area where the main powerlines are along one road, lined with big ass trees, which feed dozens of neighborhoods with underground lines. if its windy, the lights flicker quite a bit. I'm thinking it's just been taking a toll on my unit, since I am always using my computer during storms, with the false security that its fine and I'll just shut down if the power goes out.

Received mine today. Not what was pictured. Seems to be the older model. White lcd display, no front usb ports. Checked the listing today and the image was changed. Go figure.
