Pure sinewave is only need if running extremely sensitive equipment such as medical equipment, motorized tools or life support systems. Simulated sine is perfectly fine for computers, servers, or any electronics that doesn't have a motor running in it.

Bring them to an electronics recycler or place that recycles lead acid batteries.

I need something for my home server for a graceful shutdown whenever my power goes out. Would this be sufficient, or should I wait for a pure sinewave? I would also be running my router / switch / access points.

there were repackaged focus camera ones from 2020. Check your manufacture date and check battery charge.

I've got my server and networking gear on simulated. Couple of years in without issue.

Yeah, I'm in the market for something like this, but the simulated sine waves can be really crappy/I don't want to trust my sensitive stuff to simulated.
Like an extra $100 or more for the pure sine wave models 😔
That's just wrong. I have had this APC (BX1500G) for nearing 15 years - 0 issues. Incredibly unstable power grid too so you know it has been nearly abused. TV, PC, consoles connected. 0 issues.

IIRC, depends on who made it and how it's made.

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..

I'd recommend an EcoFlow LifePO4 Portable Power Station instead of a UPS. I currently have the River 2 Max and it gives me about 500 watt hours of power, with a 10 year warranty. When the power has gone out, the battery acts like a UPS even though it's not just a UPS.

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).

Ecoflow's fan running while in passthrough mode is kinda annoying

The only advantage of a true UPS vs. a portable power station that has UPS feature is that a true UPS has a comm/USB port that can connect to a PC/server. In the case of a power outage, you can configure the PC/server to perform a graceful shut down at a specific runtime remaining on the battery.

I have three CyperPower and 3 APC units that all are pure sinewave. The CyberPower batteries can be replaced with any regular SLA battery. I tried a few LiFePO4 battery manufacturers and none would work. I did have one inverter fail completely.

The APC batteries can be replaced with SLA and LiFePO4. All three of my APCs are still in use. As the CyberPower units fail, they will be replaced with APC units. My APCs are older than my CyberPowers but, have never failed. For extended runtimes, I just plug them in to bigger power stations so I get the advantages of both devices.

LiFePO4 can be dropped into UPSs due to the BMS; however, cheap ones have crappy BMS and can fail or not perform correctly.
