There's another promotion that might be conflicting with the code: 30% off one if you buy two.
I was able to get it to work with multiples, but it will ring up with an $11 discount versus $18 if you aren't careful.
note that these wont work well for lead acid ups?
They claim you can directly swap it into a UPS.
It has a built in BMS, so it may take a cycle to register full capacity.
Are you pointing at the first comment?
Sure, you can't run a LiFePO4 battery straight into a UPS without a charge controller, because the lead acid charge controller won't handle it properly.
The context they're missing is that this has a BMS built in.

This has nothing to do with capacity or energy stored, which happens to be 128Wh (12.8V nominal x 10Ah).
This will absolutely not power a desktop unless the load stays below 100W when inverter efficiency is considered. If your UPS takes two batteries, then you'll be able to power at most a 200W load.
If you read further down in the listing description, they're actually transparent about it.

They claim 500W peak with two batteries somewhere else in the page.
This is still a limitation, given that the dimensions of this battery are the same as the lead acid found in a 850W UPS.
But that doesn't mean it can't be used.
It can still be used for UPS units assuming the user understands the load limitations. It's perfectly fine to power a small router, switch, and/or access point.
Someone buying two of these batteries for their 1250VA UPS should not be surprised when it drops their load once they hit 200W.
There are 12.8V 10Ah LiFePO4 batteries with 20A continuous BMS. Two of these may be able to power a power efficient desktop assuming it stays below 400W.
I've used these in six UPS systems that utilize two batteries (important because the load is an issue), I began about a year prior to COVID, so maybe 5+ years. All six are Tripp Lite 1500 AVR units. Deployed in South Florida with constant power outages/brown-outs. Frequent use, zero problems.
If you don't but the connector, you'll need to cut the one off the lead acid battery you have and adapt this battery.

But at a reduced peak CCA, correct?
Just want to make sure everyone is on the same page here.
These will work in a UPS, but they aren't perfect 1:1 drop ins for the lead acid batteries they're replacing. You can't run anywhere near the same wattage off of them.
