We have a bunch of APC ones. Eventually the batteries all go to shit. APC branded replacements are insanely expensive, if they even sell it.

We have found that this company (below link) usually has something that is compatible. And the battery lifespan tends to last much much longer than the original one and are very high quality. We use them for CyberPower ones as well
Whatever you do, don't buy Mighty Max batteries from Amazon, they truly don't last

Replacement and Recycling of Batteries:
This product is specified as "non-user replaceable battery) but this is not true. It's just that it's not super cost-effective combined with only "1-year" warranty on battery replacements vs. 3-year warranty on new units. So Schneider Electric (the manufacturer) recommends trashing the whole unit.

HOWEVER, you can easily find battery replacements online and some are quite good.
Cost is $20-30 for a battery. I consider that cost effective.

Replacement/installation requires a long, Philips-head screwdriver. That's all.

Make sure you have a long, about 10 inches phillips screwdriver. The screws are all the way down a really small hole at bottom of unit. The screwdriver has to be really thin also to get to the screw. I had to go and buy one.

Which size do I need for a Mac mini m4, 55" TV, and a sound bar? I just need it to run long enough to finish my task and have it safely shut it all down.

I have one, but the battery is dying. would it still work as intended if I were to just connect this to a EcoFlow River 3 going forward instead of replacing the battery?

I have this - I wouldn't use this for a PC or server since it doesn't have a USB but it's really convenient for a router + modem since keep them up forever and the small profile means it'll fit in a small closet network closet if you have one
Will this not work automatically without USB for a Mac?

I've used this size to keep my router and modem running during outages before and they worked great for a couple of hours. Grabbing a few more. Also perfect for charging phones and other small devices.
I was looking for smaller ones so I don't have to keep buying large ones at Costco, how do you figure out how long it will run for model and POE switches? Is there a calculator, I can't figure out based on VA (650) what exactly does that refer to in terms of the power usage of the plugged devices?

These used to be near $25. The new ones dont even work, they just beep if you exceed the capacity. You can't use it for saving your work under low power, while having it shutdown under high power gaming which doesn't need a backup.

Just checked the specs....
It says 4 hours of runtime for Wi-Fi router
That's very short.. That means POE switch will be even shorter.
I will stick with the Costco $130 or cheaper with rebate deal on huge UPS I think that one is 1300VA?
I guess these can be good for Amazon Alexa or Echo devices so you can still control your network during outage.

I don't think those eco flow are designed to stay plugged in all the time

it doesn't have a data port to send shutdown command to a computer, whether it's a Mac, Windows, or Linux.

I have 3 of these that died, thanks for this info. I can Google search but if you can share any links, it would be appreciated.

Quote from FoldingChair :
Battery Capacity (650Ah) x Battery Voltage (120v) / Load (W) = Runtime (hours)
So we know 78000 / W = H
Example. Freezer uses 400 watts so plugging that into the equation, it will last for 195 hours. Dang son.
There is no way this battery has 650Ah. LOL.
