I have two older APC Back-UPS units and one APC Smart-UPS unit that all successfully charge LiFePO4 batteries to about 85%. I've had them running for almost a year now with no issues.
I also have an older Tripp-Lite UPS which does NOT change LiFePO4 batteries correctly.
If you decide to try these with other UPS makes/models, please report back your results.

another good point about lifepo4 for UPS is that if lead sits dead for days after (ie. after hurricane) it kills the battery or the lifespan but lifepo4 should be able to restore 100% even months after
I don't think this battery is compatible (as mine says it takes an RBC, not RBC2), but looking for general info
I applied the code to the item in the cart, then changed my mind and removed the item from the cart. When I then tried to apply the same code to another item, I got the error that the code was already used.
You can try contacting their Customer Service to see if they can assist.

Per description in the ebay listing the size of these LiFePO4 batteries is 5.9 x 3.7 x 2.6 inches. Check the replacement battery size for your UPS model (or just measure the original battery) to see if this replacement will fit.
Chemistry is a lot trickier. There is no good way of predicting how well older UPSes will charge LiFePO4 batteries, a chemistry they were not designed for, without actually trying. UPS vendors do not share this information because this is an "off label" use of their product.
The good news is that these batteries come with BMS that protects them from being overcharged or over drained, so it is unlikely that either the battery or the UPS would get damaged during testing.

So if you are using only one of these batteries in your UPS, I wouldn't pull more than 100W during the outage.
If you have both batteries connected, you can double your draw limit to around 200W.
