Need a UPS

ZFshmN · July 18, 2022

I've been meaning to get a ups for a while, but I just haven't had the money for it, and I think I'll be able to save up for it in a month or so. That being said, I've seen a few from APC and CyberPower that might be ok, but I've had both in the past ( of their cheaper models) die on me, and I was looking for other experiences with a higher end one before I make the purchase. I have an EVGA T2 1600W psu and I'd like to be able to have a UPS that could pull 100% of that in the future and still be covered by my UPS. I'd love to hear what you all think!

died as in battery depleted? usually you can just replace the battery and it will work normally.

the lifetime of the battery is around 3-5 years.

As in, if they were plugged into the walls, no power was output at any of the sockets. Looking back, I think they were just surge protectors and not a UPS.
