Fun fact 2: CyberPower only supports 2 battery changes in their UPS and does not provide any support after 2 battery changes.
Fun fact 3: If you have a battery under warranty and they replace it, they will ship what they have in their warehouse even if has 15-20% less capacity! (That is, a lower Amp-Hour rating)
Fun fact 4: If you call CyberPower back after receiving a lower capacity battery they don't care and won't do anything about it.
A lot of purchasers report problems with the shipping of this unit in the manufacturers box, which gets damaged/destroyed in transit. I just purchased this unit, but had it shipped to my local store instead of my house. This should decrease the chance of damage since it is a good assumption that Costco is NOT going to ship just one naked UPS to a particular store, but have it boxed with other items. Time will tell.
Also, since this is a manufacturer's savings, I am wondering if they are just trying to clear out this particular "older" model. I could not find any discounts on the other "newer" models.
Finally, if you want to see the specs from CyberPower on this unit, they can be found here: https://www.cyberpowers
Update (6/8/23): I picked up the unit today at Costco. My assumption was incorrect and in fact Costco did ship just one naked unit to the store. This was noted via the UPS shipping labels on the manufacturer's box and on the tracking and shipping information. The good news is the box was in pristine condition which I find unbelievable! The employee at the store was not aware of any doubling packaging.
Well ... the unit works perfectly. I just can't believe that the manufacturers box arrive in such pristine condition!

There have been some inexpensive solar generators on frontpage the last few weeks for the 2-300 range.

but, I think some of the newer made units use less glue for strain relief.

Thank you for posting this. I wouldn't have a clue of the potential problem otherwise. I have a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD I bought in 2019 that I'll have to check. From watching the video I highly suspect I have one of those units

It's not exactly a safety issue I guess because it's used in many types of electrionics and I don't think anyone will want to open that can of worms. Some units also will never experience an issue while others might just as warranty expires. The glue generally is expected to last about 6 to 7 years depending on conditions.
