Hey fam, looking for recommendations on best value/bang for buck UPS for my gear. Current active draw on stack is roughly 4A 24/7/365. Seems like brand new is $$$ so I believe I am ok with refurbished UPS from ebay in good condition w/ like-new batteries. Seems like there are a ton of good deals but don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Anyone have some clear standout winners. I may not be up to snuff on all the latest/greatest UPS tech (double conversion/pure since wave/etc.) was thinking something along the lines of these may fit the bill.
SMT1000RM2UC
SMT1500RM2UC
Eaton 5P series [probably out of budget unless I find a smokin' deal]
Not married/set on the idea of APC, just believe they probably make a pretty good UPS, Eaton/Liebert seems wicked expensive but nice. Certainly open to other suggestions as well
Requirements/budget. 2U rackmount, 1U if I can get away with it, LCD screen, reasonably priced/easy to source replacement batteries, network mgmt card would be nice but not a hard req, $150-250
I am off to do some more research/RTFM but would greatly appreciate some feedback/weigh-in.
Kind regards, whitey
