Original Coupon Deal
It is windy for last few days, i was looking for a ups, and found this.
APC's 1600va model is 20% more expensive than cyber-power and apc without a front display.
Shopping square's CyberPower UPS VP1600ELCD best offer is $210+postage on their website. Enjoy.
nvm…….. read……
I got your point the new offer STRWD10 make it 209.95 included shipping. i've just missed.
i've found that too, the postage is +$14.95 for my area, so it's about $225 in total.
I picked up a CyberPower unit last week and am pretty impressed. I paid a bit more ($295) for the sine wave 1300VA / 780W model but it can power our server (which runs pfsense and few other VMs), nbn modem, network switch and both unifi points for ~40 mins. Came in handy last night with the melbourne storms - recorded 7 "events" throughout the night. Server didn't miss a beat
Wrote up a script and passed through the usb control to a VM. When running off battery and capacity hits 20% remaining, it'll send a shutdown command to the ESXi servers and gracefully shut everything off.
Thanks for the reminder OP! Just put in my order for the CyberPower 1500VA / 900W SineWave from FutuOnline eBay with PFTUO10 then for $326.80.
While the Value range is great for preventing damage to the odd spike or brown-out, a pure sinewave & line interactive is a worthy step-up if you have regularly dirty lines like I do in my gracefully ageing apartment block.
Whatever the option, a UPS should be necessary for protecting your high-end electronics. Nice work OP!
What's the item# for the CyberPower 1500VA / 900W SineWave you ordered?
I'm seeing $343.20 with PFTUO10
nice find, had had my eye on this at Scorptec for $349 (sold out), was also looking at an Eaton equivalent
Edit: i only see $343.20 with PFTUO10 also
Hey folks yep looks like after my post, they jacked it.
It was here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363406498245
And the listed price was $408.50 before discounts.
typical of an ebay seller to price jack, unsure of rewarding them with business
can you explain why SineWave cost more than Value Pro? :)
@s12321: From Cyberpower spec sheet:
Block-quote
Shutdown can occur because simulated sine wave output has a power gap in each cycle. When the UPS system switches to battery current, a power supply with an Active PFC circuit may detect that power gap and shut itself down. See Figure A above. UPS systems that deliver sine wave output prevent these unexpected shutdowns by not having these “power gaps.”
Seems to still be in stock on my end?
Just sitting here patiently awaiting enlightening comments to help me decide whether to buy this one.
Hope my comment helps! Value works great for day in-out normal protection in a modern place. Sinewave is great for older places that have dirty lines or more regular issues eg rural or demanding equipment that are sensitive to the line purity.
Thanks mate!
I'll keep an eye out for future value range deals, and hopefully before this EOFY.
Relatively new home, looking to power a maximum of up to 2 computers, modem/router, and poe switch to 4 cameras.
If on, the 2 computers would be shut down safely in the case of an outage, and the network & cameras would work as long as the UPS allows.
Just to add to this, the sine wave output will only be relevant while running on batteries, otherwise it will still be passing through the grid power (possibly cleaned up a little but no more than a line interactive UPS).
If your grid power is that bad you'd need to step up to an online UPS.
Anyone keen on UPS' should also check out Powershield. The Powershield Defender 1600va is really good.
let us know if there's any good deal, oz's power network is horrible, windy, heat wave, rain, .. power will be gone sometime…
Can't see any good deals at the moment, but they do come down to around 240-250 which isn't bad.
Is it correct to say that this CyberPower 1600VA, the batteries cannot be readily removed and replaced?
I noticed PowerShield 1600va did specify a 12V 9AH battery type
yeah I just replaced the batteries in the Powershield defender 1600va after 6 years.
It takes two 12v 9ah batteries, cost about $60 for two from ebay. The generic battery I bought on ebay happened to be exactly the same as the one in the UPS that I bought new.
the manual did not say and i did not own one, but it is 12v 9ah x2 inside from the spec, you can open it after warranty period. :)
I can't say specifically about this model, but I have the 500W sinewave model with the same form factor and it has a user accessible door underneath to get to the batteries.
Does this seem like a good price with free shipping (https://www.mwave.com.au/product/powershield-defender-line-i…)?
Funnily enough mwave just increased that price today. It was $253.99 earlier.
I think 284 is still a good price.
WARNING FOR THIS SERIES OF CYBERPOWER UPS
Beware that these units and all the others in this series DO NOT HAVE USER REPLACEABLE BATTERY. So once the battery is gone after a couple of years you will need to get rid of the whole unit. This is pretty poor I think. I still have a 10 year old APC unit that is going strong after I replaced its battery.
Yes the batteries are not cheap but throwing out entire units is very poor environmental practices that should not be rewarded.
yes, but, there is work around for people who are expert :) this guy teardown the value pro https://youtu.be/yH1zPShnAYA?t=481 , there is hope :P
