Are LiFePO4 batteries suitable replacements when the lead acid one dies?

The 360 watt output has me on the fence about getting something beefier. Should be fine under normal circumstances, but if my PC happens to be running a load, it might exceed the capabilities.

These lower capacities are good for laptops, but more than that, I have one on my router closet (so power router, switch, and anything else needing to be online). This one is earmarked for my fiber jack to ensure uninterrupted internet access.

I have the smaller model of this for the fiber ont. It lasts 2hr+. Longer than my main network ups. Seems like a perfect usage case for these little units.

Don't do it. It's a completely different chemistry than SLA. It may technically be safe and work but it's a waste of money and shortens the lifespan of the LifePO, as they aren't used to being topped off/trickle charged constantly.

Thank you. I was going to jump on the APC but you pulled me back. I'm starting to hear negative stories about this merchant. Aren't they supposed to be really reliable?

Any recommendations on how to test one of these? Just remembered I have one of these in storage.

Good little unit for a small device. I have one on my modem/router, one on my resin printer, and one on my Synology NAS. Anything bigger (Unraid server, PC, etc) gets a 1000W+ pure sine version.
