CP1500AVRLCD3-R is a current model.

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.

That's probably a reseller account.

They downplay deals so they can dissuade people from buying stuff they're trying to flip.

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.

What makes a battery and an inverter "outdated"?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.
Nothing, only the battery itself aging is an issue. The tech in these has changed very little.

the "best one" is sold out.

when mine gave up the ghost (loud pop and smoke) right before the 3 year warranty ran out they replaced it. then 3 months later when that one just shut off then started playing games and all that shit.

Grabbed the $50 model for my modem/router/fiber-bridge and maybe a mini-pc just to keep it all from resetting when power occasionally flickers for a few sec/min... I have a 1350va on my serve which is way overkill, but it was $5 at Goodwill with a dead battery and ~$40 for a replacement batter (4 years ago, still going strong).

Even some of Ecoflow's lowest-end LiFePO4 have "UPS/EPS"

Seems like the "I need this to work in an emergency situation" aspect of UPS systems would lend itself more to LiFePO4 than lead acid.

You usually don't even realize how bloated and/or dead your lead acid batteries are till it fails to turn on/powers off after 3 minutes in an emergency.

I ended up just buying a refurbished Ecoflow River 2 Pro so I could get 7-10 hours of backup for my network gear.

Obviously this is more expensive than a $50 UPS, but it should last far longer - and have a meaningful amount of energy storage comparatively.

Quote from zyberwoof :
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.
Is the most expensive one ($139) the most powerful?

Which one of these for a synology NAS? DS920+ and aiming for a graceful shutdown only.

I got a dirt cheap one from Salvation Army and threw a 12v LiFeP04 battery in and it's been rock solid for a year now. Granted it's only a backup for the router, modem, and a small managed switch.

Depends on your Nas model and it's power consumption

Quote from geekwithoutacause :
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.
The main issue is the longevity of the input filtering capacitors of the load equipment. A non sinewave voltage will create higher ripple current, especially at frequencies higher than the fundamental (50 or 60Hz). It also depends on if it's a linear power supply, or switch mode. Will it be the difference in 5 years? Probably not. But what about in 10, 20 or 30 years?

Quote from Tsumi :
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.
Oh. I wasn't referring to the switchover times. But rather, the efficiency losses at all the extra voltage conversion stages.
