    Good price for a decent brand ups

    I have the smaller version going strong for the past 3ish years, links in with Windows and unraid with usb for information no issues

    I personally prefer the power board style of the same brand.
    This is a pretty good price though.

    • asa79 on 17/05/2019 - 09:59

      This is better if putting into a server cabinet

  • OverDue on 17/05/2019 - 10:10

    I’ve been holding off on getting a UPS for a long time due to “do I really need it?” (Yes, I know asking that question to oneself is against OzBargain mantra). I have 4 “critical” appliances in the office (modem, NAS, switch Orbi)

    • are these things still a thing? Minus the fact that any data will be lost or HDD corrupted due to a sudden shut down of power, have tech advanced to a stage where a power outage won’t damage the device (provided that the devices are on a surge protected board).
    • user replaceable battery? Is this simple/cheap enough to do or is the process/battery replacement too complicated/expensive that buying a replacement unit is more common?
    • are these things noisy?
    • do these things get hot or need proper ventilation? Will it keep a 4m x 4m office cosy in the middle of a winter night? My NAS (4x 8TB ironwood) keeps the room noticeably warmer than usual

    This is fairly cheap enough, I may just buy one to answer all my questions… haha

      A surge protector is mostly useless in any real scenario that I've seen, only if you live somewhere where lightning strikes that hit equipment are common, which is generally not near cities.

      You also need a surge protector with free insurance on your equipment, any others are mostly useless as surge protectors only help stop a surge depending on what kind it is.

      A UPS will filter all kinds of voltage issues that can be from all kinds of reasons, these are more likely to cause problems with your equipment, and are more common.

    • asa79 on 17/05/2019 - 11:50

      If you asking if you need it, then you do need it ;)

    • asa79 on 17/05/2019 - 11:51

      I sit my UPS in a server cabinet with 3 HP servers and Unifi switches and its not hot at all in there, no additional cooling in there

    Simulated Sine Wave, not sine wave though, just so you guys know before you buy.

    Cyberpower do sell real sine wave UPS's but they are more expensive.

    See here for info: https://www.minutemanups.com/support/pwr_un10.php

      Aren't all sine waves simulated?

        no.

          Oh, maybe I was thinking of cosine waves.

  • go2home on 17/05/2019 - 10:29

    I have the same one for years, changed the battery once. Runs well, but some electric current noise is annoying when quiet.

    • vnt on 17/05/2019 - 11:34

      what kind of battery it's using May i ask?

    • asa79 on 17/05/2019 - 12:23

      I have the non LCD version and cant hear anything from it

  • peter_mcc on 17/05/2019 - 11:40

    I don't think it's a special for OzBargain - I just got an email from them selling it for the same price.

  • Polypterus on 17/05/2019 - 12:04

    I need a UPS to provide backup electricity to my Arlo wireless security cameras and modem in the case of break-ins where they break the circuit before entering the premise. Would this be fine or overkill for such purpose? Thanks!

    • chuneeperformance on 17/05/2019 - 12:12

      Perfect. Make sure modem is attached

    • asa79 on 17/05/2019 - 12:22

      Depends on how much power draw on your camera and other devices, to how long you would get power protection.

      I run about 220w on my UPS and get about 10-15mins of power recovery

    • Polypterus on 17/05/2019 - 12:28

      Thanks guys for the input. I'll get one and try it out.

    • dwillia on 17/05/2019 - 13:21

      I have the same setup you're describing and it works perfectly

  • wisc on 17/05/2019 - 14:45

    Would be nice if they had it for this price on eBay, with the 20% off would be quite good… they do have the 1500 for about 200 on ebay (after the 20% off) too… (pretty sure futu = shopping express) so 20% bigger, and only about 17% more… works out better value…

    could also get office works to price match… they stock it

    Thinking about going the eaton 5e 1500va for slightly less as the quality seems better…but if i can get officeworks to price match umart
    https://www.umart.com.au/CyberPower-Value-SOHO-LCD-1500VA---…
    that's only 190 for the 1500.

    • 777 on 17/05/2019 - 17:03

      Just matched at officeworks in QV Melbourne actually 5% cheaper no postage cost was calculated

      • wisc on 17/05/2019 - 18:49

        Just price matched at airport west for the 1500, got it for 188… need to wait for them to get it in though…

        The 1200va for about 140 probably would have suited my needs and been cheaper over all, but they would have added postage…

        • bamzero on 18/05/2019 - 12:52

          Don't want to over size too much though, efficiency drops massively on low loads, get down to 20% and could drop to 50% or less (though not sure specifically with this brand)

          • wisc on 24/05/2019 - 09:15

            @bamzero: Where where you on the 17th!, yeah, i'm on about about 5-10%!

            pretty sure i still get about an hour though. which is fine. think its about 50 watts…(gen 8 microserve, switch, router, IP phone)

  • bamzero on 18/05/2019 - 12:42

    Thinking of getting the cyber power 900va sine wave, appreciate any feed back on the brand/model if there is any (and a good deal if one to be had).

    How does it treat the batteries?
    I know it depends a lot on the environment (largely heat) but I've found the APCs to be best so far. Have tried a few, Powershield, Socomec, Eaton but batteries all seem lucky to last 2 years.

    My old APC Back Ups 650 on the other hand is at least 4 or 5 years before I need to replace them. Unfortunately a sine wave APC is a little pricey though.
