As a matter of fact, as an EE who used to design power supplies back in the '90s, I can say that the lifespan of a lead-acid battery that is not cycled frequently can be quite long, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years.

My UPS, which supports my home network, is going on 6 years and still runs for nearly the same amount of time on battery as when I first got it.

In a UPS, where the battery is often kept in a float charge state and is only used during power outages, it should last closer to the upper end of this range, especially if the conditions are optimal...meaning you're not using it in extreme heat or cold, or experiencing frequent outages that fully discharge the battery, to name a few.

Quote from Hiiimgravy :
i haven't replaced many UPS batteries in my life, but wouldn't mind the ability to. I looked up the genuine replacement battery, and it retails for at least $90. I get that this $100 UPS unit is a sale, but kinda hard to find value in a replacement when its the same cost for a brand new unit. Is this common?
Yes it's common. You want to find a quality third party replacement battery. It will save you a lot of money.

Sealed Lead Acid battery. Are we still in the 90s?
Still the best overall battery for the job and cost.

My modem and smart hub draws 34 watts, does that mean this can power the two of those units for 17.64 hours or do I need to factor in something else?

Possible replacement battery for less: or check out local Buccee's gas station in the deer feeder supply area.

Don't like it when the outlets are so close to each other.

I just ordered one of these "Goldenmate" UPS, they seem to be the only ones selling LiFePO4 ones - https://a.co/d/3TUopkb

No communication with the computer for auto-shutdown, but if the battery lasts a full hour less of a concern.

Ecoflow River 3 Plus is LiFePO4 and supposed to also be good for UPS (<10 ms failover), but not even up for preorder yet.

Sorry, I'd delete the post but it won't let me. Just putting a link because a review mentioned it doesn't connect to a computer via USB if you want it to shut down a computer during an outage.
I'm not sure which model you are talking about but I bought the 1050 in this deal earlier in the year and it 100% does have a USB connection for shutdown and I can pull info out of it into Aida64.

I was debating about getting a lead acid UPS for my NAS and network equipment but ultimately decided to try out the Anker C300 AC version which supposedly has < 10ms UPS
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Port...B0D62GMQ3F
https://www.anker.com/products/a1...4711280790

If it works, the LiFePO4 battery I think should theoretically last longer but the downside is there's no option to make a computer / NAS shutdown when the battery kicks in

going to buy this in case the Anker UPS sucks

Is 600 watts the max when it's running on wall power, or just the max when running on battery?

Quote from rob12098 :
Wouldn't one of the Ecoflow gen 3 batteries be better for most applications? Bigger newer battery tech, longer warranty, multiple usage scenarios. I guess pricing would be double this (for now) but LIFEP04 pricing has been dropping like a rock
The ecoflow switchover time during power loss is not as good as these dedicated UPS's. It probably wouldn't matter for most appliances, but it might for a PC which has a much tighter power requirement.

What if you plugged an Anker or similar in between the UPS and computer to give it a longer time to shutdown?

I already have an APC for my desktop. Trying to justify jumping on this, but laptops don't need one and neither does an $100 TV.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. That is the complete opposite to what I have experienced. I use 5-6 UPS anytime to power different systems and on average, they die in 3-4 years. I stopped buying Cyberpower as you can't swap the batteries - that one had seen very gentle usage. Another one I bought to replace an APC one this year because it'd start beeping 5 minutes after any load is put on (switching on a PC) and go into a power outage stage, falsely. I don't see power outages, 1 or 2 a year at most and those are brownouts. The battery on taht unit was also not replaceable so I had to throw it out.
Maybe you got a really good batch or the quality has degraded over years because of "planned obsolecense". I bought the LifePO one this time and whether it does any better or not, we'll have to wait and see.
