I would love to see the Li-On battery technology 'trickle down' faster to the consumer market. I've been experimenting with using a USB power bank and a USB 3.1 PD development board to power my various DC networking components.
The elimination of DC -> inverter -> AC -> router power brick -> rectifier -> DC has looses at each step.

seem like all of them are about 10+ years since release so i feel like they are outdated
What makes a battery and an inverter "outdated"? Are any of the models that have management ports serial only?
There are a couple models which have been accused of being fire hazards as they age due to use of a specific glue, but neither of those are in this sale.

That's probably a reseller account.
They downplay deals so they can dissuade people from buying stuff they're trying to flip.

To be fair, if one doesn't need/want built in USB charging or gigabit ethernet protection, not much has changed in the last decade or two.
In fact, they used to offer "extended runtime" capabilities (aka, additional battery packs) in the consumer mid-tier models. Now they seem reserved only for the most expensive line.

You know electricity didn't change in those 10 years. 🙄
I'm still using my 14-year old cyberpower UPS and it works great. It supports PSW and has USB communication port which allows it to gracefully shut down my computer when the power is out and batt is almost drained.
As long as battery is decent age and UPS has proper specs, its age isn't that important.

Bats are user replaceable too so these things practically have unlimited lifespan. I've got 10 yr old ones running myself.

Looks like all the true sine wave are gone. Simulated is OK but not for my purposes.
I'd love to see APC/Cyberpower etc come out with a LiFePO4 battery, as they last much longer before replacement and are way lighter. Perhaps we'll see more of the fabled solid state hit the market before long. I've already seen a few consumer grade solid states for sale but their price point is still a bit high.

prefer lifepo batteries for inside and there's already plenty of them. They're just larger batteries ($$) and some aren't fast enough to switch on power outage. But that's also improving. I use one as a giant ups and it's been amazing. My home lab can run for a long time.

They're likely not pure sinewave but for a lot of equipment that doesn't matter. I still use an older one that has a new battery. Runs other stuff just fine.
For home lab I use a lifepo larger system.

CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS System, 1500VA/900W, 12 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, AVR, Mini Tower, Black https://a.co/d/cRKM77a
Amazon sells it for $190 new. At most it's 2 years old as it was released in 2022.
