Most of the replacement batteries I've seen have too low Amps to be useable. I read of another user using Dakota Batteries 12v 50A max, 20A continuous discharge in their 1500VA/900w Cyberpower unit. They were the only batteries I saw so far that had decent enough specs..
actually the right now, much better life/value
I have soooo many old used lead RBC2 batteries with no idea what to do with them
Was so sad is that they will end up in a 3rd world country giving kids cancer...
Most buy consumer UPSes for typical household electronics (computer, network, entertainment). LiFePO4 drop in is okay if it is compatible and many have been doing this for years. But as you said there are limitations and as I elluded to before, there are risks.
My 5800X3D, 7900 XTX, 27" monitor, 2.0 speakers pull 5.5A at full load (prime95 small FFTs + Furmark).
Per Dakota 12V 10AH LiFePO4, "Lead acid chargers will work, but will only charge the battery to 80% of capacity...
...20A max continuous, 50A max 300 mS pulse. 9.0V max discharge, 11.0V max recommended discharge. For longest lifetime recommended discharge rate 1-5 Amps. The flat discharge voltage curve provides a 75% bigger capacity than a 10Ah SLA battery."
I personally use LiFePO4 in a small UPS for network equipment.
My gaming computer UPS still has good SLA batteries, when they die I will try LiFePO4.
I use this as a battery backup on my Ring Home Alarm system, and it's VERY sensitive to power loss. When I tried this on a (maybe defective?) Bluetti EB3A Portable Power Station, I got notifications all the time saying that the device lost power (even though it was plugged into the battery pack). With the EcoFlow, a total power loss to my house doesn't even result in the Ring alarm saying it lost power (until the EcoFlow dies, of course).
