Use 1080VA or 950VA as a minimum for desktops and communication centers in the home.

Gaming machines may need 1200VA? TBD

I buy these small ones for LED TVs, some small medical devices, and Child nodes.

This exact unit came ok from Newegg on the last sale. But I agree about the return statements as you deal VFR direct with APC and their mercy. Shipping a unit back for a bad battery is cost prohibitive.
Right, this is for router and switches,.PC need a lot bigger ones

I've had few of those "upright" APC units (with and without USB on top) and don't like them at all.
- 2 of those just died after a year+, had to throw them away
- New APCRBC154 12V 6A genuine battery costs $60 in Amazon
- "New" OEM RBC154 12V 6A battery goes for $37, but their quality sucks, they don't last for long (stop charging). I suspect they just recharge and re-label the old ones
- For comparison, very similar (even slightly better) in specs RBC2 12V 7A goes for $56 MSRP (currently $42) genuine and $20 OEM, but it can't be used in place of RBC154 - it won't fit
- So, financially it makes very little to no sense to replace battery in those upright models
- I was APC fan for a long time and still have few 8-10 yrs old "flat" units with RBC2 in service, just keep replacing the batteries
- ~5 years ago switched to Cyberpower, 1350VA and 1500VA, with no regrets. At least, they never died on me. The cost of replacement CP1290 12V 9A batteries is also reasonable. They take 2-pack ($20-25/each OEM), but can hold much higher load or the smaller load for much longer

Been very happy with CyberPower. All my APCs, one Liebert PST5 (TBD), and Cyberpowers have run for about 4-6 years before croaking (so far). Again, I over protect devices by using larger units for larger loads and only for emergency shutdowns.
The only exception is my communications center that will run as long as internet service is available, or I crank the generator.


The only reason I have all my electronics on a unit somewhere is the odd case of FW update on a device and security cameras.

IIRC this UPS design does not have a replaceable battery. So unless there's a hack for that, you're looking at e-waste in less than 4 years. A terrible design choice.

The VERTIV deal that comes around a couple times a year is a better deal (although unfortunately it doesn't do signaling with Synology).

I also bought Liebert PST5 last year to try, but looks like they use some proprietary signalling, I was not able to hook it up to neither TomatoUSB, nor Home Assistant to read the state, control etc. Didn't try hard though, but never had such issues with APC or CP, that "just work"

And I also tend to over-protect Smilie have a whole house generator (that runs on NG) with the transfer switch, that kicks in 3 minutes after losing the power. Cost $$$, but this was the best investment ever.

They replaceable I have 4 at my house. Router/modem plugged into one to keep my ring cams working after a power out and then the others have led lights plugged in the house for power outages. Run time on the lights should be about 2hrs or more depending on brightness setting.

It does, but RBC154 battery cost too much ($37 OEM) for less value (12V 6A). See my post above.

True about VERTIV Liebert, but not being able to read/control it is a deal killer for me, I'd rather get CP. Liebert will likely end up protecting my TV and related equipment, which can't control it anyway.

TRASH.
I had four types of these, 2+ of each type. Lost power for a fraction of a second and the 10 or so OTHER devices worked fine. The two PCs connected to this specific model shut down instantly.

Fortunately there wasn't any damage, but this is ONLY a surge protector/powerstrip and tiny pathetic battery for charging things and will not keep your devices on if needed.
You just had wrong application. I use this exact model for my modem and router as backup. It will last for about one hour after outage. I bought bigger one for my PC which will last longer and I get time to save everything before shutting down. No issues at all

I'm not a huge fan of CyberPower, but Costco has the 850vA 460W model at $75 right now.

The extra overhead is always worth it when it comes to a UPS.

I had alienwares with 3090s running on two other types, and some ROGs with 3060TIs on these. But it was just one PC per backup and nothing else plugged in. I had 7 other ROGs with identical hardware on other power supplies and literally these were the only two that went down. It's not a HUGE sample size, but I went online and looked at reviews and saw some scathing ones that matched my experience.
You overloaded the UPS.

A monitor will generally pull about 35-50watts depending on what kind.
A system at idle with a 3090 will draw about 250w give or take.

IMO anything less than a 1500 VA isnt really suitable to be a backup for running computer. It's ok for a laptop buffer. or maybe plugging in a router/unmanagerd switch to keep the internet up but that is it.

On a fully loaded Synology (especially one with several drives) you're looking at maybe 20-45 mins of time on this. I'd recommend getting one that has a USB cable that you can plug into your Synology to allow the Synology to shutdown automatically when the UPS switches to battery power. This one might be ok for 1-2 bay NAS.

edit: Looks like this is compatible with Synology. See compat list here: https://www.synology.com/en-globa...gory=upses
