This CyberPower pure sine wave UPS is aimed at keeping a PC, NAS, router, or home server running cleanly through brownouts and outages, with enough headroom for safe shutdowns and monitoring through USB or NUT. It has worked well with Synology, unRAID, and Home Assistant setups, and it has handled repeated grid to UPS switchovers without issues. The main tradeoff is runtime, since the lead acid battery is much smaller than a power station and is only expected to last a few hours at light loads. Battery replacement is also a consideration, though the cells are inexpensive to swap.

I"ve been using the ecoflow river 3 plus as a UPS for an unraid server and another for a UPS for a mini pc and router for a while now and I've been very happy. https://www.ecoflow.com/us/river-...er-stationFast switching, NUT UPS over USB which has been easy to use with unraid and linux, LiFePO4 batteries which give good runtime on the unraid server, and many hours of runtime for my mini pc and router, and it's designed to take an expansion battery and solar or car DC input as well.
Seems like it's main selling point is "spend more and not replace batteries" but these Cyber Power ones use cheap lawn mower batteries in them that are $20-30

"cheaper" ... then posts refurb link instead of a new one, lol
The new ones cost more, the one you originally posted is $300

https://www.ecoflow.com/us/river-...er-station

And the batteries don't even appear to be replaceable but they are $300 for an extra one:
https://us.ecoflow.com/products/r...9904817225

The Cyber Power is a $20 lawn mower battery found anywhere that you can replace every 5 years.

If new is important just wait for a new deal like this one at $179:

https://slickdeals.net/f/18787135-ecoflow-river-3-plus-178-99?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arelevance%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse

Comparing deal to deal I found the river 3 to be way better overall. I'm glad you are happy with the old school style. I'm sure they still have their place.

Just had a power outage over the weekend and the river 3 plus ran my home server for 2.5 hours before NUT gracefully shut it down at 25% battery remaining, then it continued running my router and cable modem for another 2 hours when power was restored.

You're comparing apples to oranges and pretending it's the same.
River 3 Plus battery is 286Wh $300
Cyber Power are ~100Wh $25
You're comparing something that's a tenth of the price to something with three times more capacity. Normal people don't usually consider spending 10x more money to get a 3x return a wise thing.

The difference is you get two brand new Cyber Power batteries at $40-50 or whatever over the course of a decade vs buying a new external battery pack at $300 or an entirely new unit every decade. And when your shit fails, you can't "wait until a sale comes around". EcoFlow aren't replaceable unless you're spending the high end multi-thousand-dollar line.

River 3 isn't even the leader in this segment, the Anker 521 is about 33% cheaper and the same base technology. LiOn batteries, regardless of who makes them aren't usually easily replaceable and cost more.

LiOn batteries, if you have a use case, cost more, fail more expensive, but are generally superior to Lead Acid... If you have a use-case for them. Otherwise, for most people, they don't make sense in this category.
LiON is much better for cycles daily (think: your phone). For stuff that just stays plugged in all day and only kicks in when needed (most people's use case for this)... It doesn't offer any benefit, and you're paying for capability you never use. Lead Acid's main degradation mode is the ongoing/slow discharge over ~5 years... Solvable with a $20 lawn mower battery. Lion dies slower, but requires an entirely new unit. Other than the CyberPower board itself dying, $20 every 5 years keeps it operating like new at a smaller investment point.

Wait, what? A tenth the price? Comparing slickdeal to slickdeal, the cyberpower is MORE expensive. $179 new in the deal I linked vs. $190 in this deal for the old school lead acid UPS. And if you go with a refurb like I did at $159 the price difference is even greater.

Where are you finding a new or refurb cyberpower UPS for $25 lol

I always wondered who was still buying these lead acid UPS units.

Reading comprehension not your strong suit?

I clearly mentioned the $300 battery replacement:
"And the batteries don't even appear to be replaceable but they are $300 for an extra one:
https://us.ecoflow.com/products/r...9904817225"

I again literally added the word battery to remove ambiguity:
"River 3 Plus battery is 286Wh $300
Cyber Power are ~100Wh $25"


But if you want to keep mis-representing everything, if you're throwing refurb in there at least be apples to apples and compare it to a CyberPower refurb which once again undercuts the base of your argument:
https://slickdeals.net/f/19896756-cyberpower-1500va-900w-sinewave-ups-system-159-99-refurb

You should probably also pause and consider the output of the thing you're jerking off to is only 600w and these Cyber Powers are 900w or 1000w depending on model.
You can keep paying more for marketing but don't pretend like you've found some cheaper and better thing when most people's use case doesn't call for the price premium you're defending

I have learned that even though I have Anker and Ecoflow "solar generators" for my main battery power you need an old school UPS between them and your computers. Why? Any time you update the firmware they turn off the AC out. Having an old school UPS that can keep the power on long enough for that firmware update to complete is basically a requirement.
Smart, haven't thought about this scenario

So you've tested the cutover? Devices still stayed on?
I haven't measured with an oscilloscope, but thus far my desktop PC, unraid server running a standard seasonic 500w PC PSU, netgear router, a chinese mini pc, and cable modem all keep running without issues through around 8 grid-->UPS -->grid switchovers. The NUT tools work great, and I monitor grid presence and ecoflow battery level in home assistant easily.
