I’m running a rather small homelab and am hunting for a good UPS to help keep everything running smoothly. My top priorities are:

  • Just enough battery life to keep things running until they can be shut down
  • Compatible with open source software for monitoring and automated shutdown

Would I have better luck getting a used one and a new battery, or a brand new unit altogether? Anyone have one they don’t need anymore, on that note? 👀

Thanks for the advice!

    Some cheap Eaton… I got a multi-plug from Eaton, works fine.

    I wouldn’t go cheaper…

    And remember that for any ups you need to plan replacing batteries every 12-18 months!
