Spare UPS
From: David via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Hello, Does anyone happen to have a UPS that they are willing to part with and/or sell? I would prefer a rackmount unit but not required. Just thought that I would reach out before I start shopping. Thanks, David R.=============================================================== From: Stephen Kraus via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ I have one but am down in Atlanta.

=============================================================== From: David via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ I'll definitely take them, if you want to email or text me we can work out details. I should be fairly open this week. Might have some free time tonight or tomorrow night but that depends on some other things going on. Thanks, David R. davidrucker11387@gmail.com 423-290-6372 r I
=============================================================== From: Jonathan Calloway via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Hello! Used UPSs may not be terribly dependable. You run the risk of replacing = the battery, which costs about as much as a new UPS anyway.=20 That said, Mr. Harrison has some good recommendations. wrote: and/or sell?

=============================================================== From: Michael Harrison via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ I have no current recommendations, Mr Calloway. And I still don't like APC having chucked a couple while they were still smoking from datacenters. Also they are heavy, but chuckable when your adrenaline is high. We have had a rack mount Tripp-Lite at ring-u that is several (6?) years old, 1 battery replacement. Very small experience level. Enjoyed meeting you in person and sharing a beverage and pizza! --Mike-- =3D
=============================================================== From: Stephen Kraus via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Get one without batteries, put Lipos with built in battery management, been happy with mine. The Lipos last longer too =3D =3D
=============================================================== From: Dave Brockman via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ If you are capable of replacing individual batteries and not using the OEM "sled pack", replacement batteries are not that expensive. As in, less than $50 shipped vs $150+ for the OEM sled. As Mike mentioned, I prefer TrippLite over APC, and have several that were used when I started the datacenter in 2018, are on their 2nd set of batteries since then, and are still kicking just fine.

=============================================================== From: William Roush via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ I got burned by a pack of lead acid batteries being garbage (they were having trouble within 6 months of purchase), so be careful about what you're replacing in your sled pack (no huge surprise there). I have *not* attempted a replacement from the lead-acids though, that's all kinds of tempting. g =3D
=============================================================== From: Dave Brockman via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ I use Battery Sharks and Batteries/Bulbs/Boobs+ or whatever they are=20 called these days when I need something same day. I expect a 3 year=20 life cycle, and the batteries I source from those places meet=20 expectations. I buy the individual batteries, not the sled packs.
