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.

Please, add Refurbished to the title!
I'd also recommend adding "UPS" to the title as well. UPS will help trigger more alerts and pop up in more searches. Refurbished will save people time if they are looking for something new.

A couple of power stations by Ecoflow and others are purported to have very low switchover times when used as UPS. If it's just powering low power DC hardware, just get a bluetooth-enabled unit, set the battery max level to about 85%, and reduce the AC charge rate to just slightly higher than the power consumption of your hardware to get maximum life out of the battery.
seem like all of them are about 10+ years since release so i feel like they are outdated
Its a battery back up not a server or pc. 10 years old for these doesnt mean much for consumer battery backups. You can replace the batteries and as long as nothing else is wrong and then its pretty much new again. My two ups 1500s are like 10 years old an digital. Ive replaced the batteries twice. These are solid for what they are made for.

ecoflow bateries are lifepo, you charge them to 100%.
I've been using one for a while now, it's working well. Even have it set to run off battery at peak charge times. zero issues.

LFP batteries still get better lifespan not being charged to 100%. The primary reason to charge LFP to 100%, other than when maximum capacity is needed, is to keep the battery meter accurate.

It says the batteries have been replaced so they're basically new. I just had a power supply die in my after 5 years. If the replacement battery wasn't as expensive as a new one I'd have just replaced it but...

Which one of these is the best for a home theater system (83" OLED, 13 channel receiver, streaming devices, etc...)?
The main differentiating factor between the available UPS models is how much power they can output and for how long. You'd need to know approximately how much power every component in your system uses on average, and how much power it uses at peak. From there you could look up each model on CyberPower's site to check if the battery would work (peak), and for about how long (average power usage).
FYI, I assume receivers and powered speakers (subwoofers) potentially use a LOT of power. And the power usage would depend on not only the model of each, but also the volume level.

The SLA UPS systems seem so outdated now in 2024. I've seen a few LifePO4 versions made by no name Chinese brands but something similar made by Cyberpower/APC would be welcome.

Amazon sells it for $190 new. At most it's 2 years old as it was released in 2022.
They downplay deals so they can dissuade people from buying stuff they're trying to flip.

LFP batteries are not unique when it comes to maximizing cycles/life. They just degrade slower than NCM and lithium-ion technologies.
