    Does this have a user replaceable battery ?

      Yes, the part number is RBC17.

    410 watts, not suitable for gaming PCs if power loss occurrs during gaming. The transient spikes might probably trip this. I absolutely hate that they sell these by VA and not watts. Different VA can magically transform to different watts depending on battery size. I had an external battery UPS that was 1000VA and 800 watts from APC.

      Well no s**t…….. it's a cheap UPS it's not designed for high-power devices.

        Absolutely, where are my manners, I should upvote this deal ;)

      bro you need a solar battery or something like that
      I have a 1200 VA/720W one with 13900K + 3090, it can't even hold it after ~400W from the 1st day and turns off, probably due to switching surge as my grid voltage is around 245-253 V and UPS is 230 V.

        My model was SUA1000UXI with 2X65AH SMF batteries. Probably one of the best pure sinewave server grade UPS one could buy 12 years ago. Now in storage lol.

      • ReqelinOz on 27/05/2024 - 10:57

        245V to 253V is within the Australian Standard for mains voltage.

        • bazingaa on 27/05/2024 - 11:26

          yes, but can't change the UPS output from 230 V and this is not a double conversion UPS

    • Lief on 27/05/2024 - 10:11

      I have a 4060ti and my whole setup pulls 350watts from the wall in game so it depends on what you run

      • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2024 - 10:17

        You need to factor in the monitor power in case you want to save your work and be able to switch off. Maybe 30 to 100 watts depending on what you use. Plus if you have transient spikes, factor that in too. Maybe OK with newer lower tier GPUs.

    Anyone know what the idle power draw on a fully charged one of these is?

    • MasterScythe on 27/05/2024 - 10:03

      No, but that statistic is why I went for the CyberPower, the 1.5~3W idle is brilliant.

      • Castcore on 27/05/2024 - 18:17

        Yeah I've got the UT850EG from CyberPower. My idle draw is like 6W though which kind of annoys me, almost as much as my server itself. Their "testing" advertised like ~2W.

        On sale at scorptec for $99 atm which is a solid deal, better than this deal.

    • lemotank on 27/05/2024 - 10:22

      90 BTU/hr according to spec. Which is equal to 26.4 Watts, however real would number will likely be higher.

      • Castcore on 27/05/2024 - 18:15

        Surely not? That's horrendous lol

  • monchee on 27/05/2024 - 08:55

    Will this be enough for my Unraid server of 4 hdd, 2 ssd, 1 gpu (casual remote gaming) just for backup power? If not, any other recommended models? Thanks!

    • Gorby on 27/05/2024 - 09:52

      Once you add a GPU in the mix it's really "how long is a piece of string".

      Use an energy monitoring meter with all that stuff plugged into it (as it would be into the UPS and figure out what your draw is. If it's over the 410watts this model supports, you need bigger.

      • monchee on 27/05/2024 - 09:56

        Cheers

    • MasterScythe on 27/05/2024 - 10:05

      If you're not gaming at the time of the blackout, absolutely.

      I also wouldn't be a good datahoarder myself if I wasn't sure to remind you that UnRaid arrays are Disk level protection, not block level, so be sure to leverage the ZFS (mirror, most likely) option if you store anything you want to be kept 'healthy' long term (family photos etc).

    • opt on 27/05/2024 - 10:19

      just for backup power?

      If by backup power you mean whether this is capable of powering your server for a prolonged period (e.g., an hour or more) during a power outage, then NO. UPS units with lead acid batteries, like these, have very small runtimes at high loads, usually around 10 minutes or less. They are designed to provide uninterrupted power during very short outages lasting just a couple of minutes, brownouts, and to save your data and safely shutdown your computer in a longer outage.

      And to answer whether this is enough to serve as a UPS (as indicated above) then it depends on the power usage of your system. Unless you are running a very powerful GPU (e.g: RTX4070 / RX 7700) with a total actual system power draw over 400W, you can use this. Because most systems (even those with high end components) use very little amount of power when idling or not doing serious computing work. My unraid server 5700x/64GB/RTX2060/2x3.5"HDDs/2xSSDs/3x120mm external fans only draws around 50W when serving files and running a couple of docker containers and Home assistant, but I have seen it go over 300W during high use running a few VMs etc..

      • spb on 27/05/2024 - 14:50

        If it is just to protect from a brown outs and I can't expect a UPS to realistically keep my PC up for a any amount of time, should I just buy any UPS and ignore the the capacity rating on it or are there some other considerations?

        • Nom on 27/05/2024 - 14:53

          The less spare capacity in the UPS, the more quickly the batteries will be destroyed by discharging.
          Buy the biggest you can afford, and tell your PC to shut down when the battery drops to 60%.

  • whitepuma on 27/05/2024 - 09:48

    anybody know what sort of noise this makes when running with mains power connected? if i got this it would be in a tv room (to power a NBN modem and router), and ideally don't want it to make any noise…

    Ofcourse if power cuts out and it needs to start doing it's job, i'm ok with that noise increasing for that time.

      I have BX950MI version and it is dead quiet. But I had to replace the unit through Schneider AU, first one had dead battery.

    • MasterScythe on 27/05/2024 - 10:08

      I don't own this specific model, but as a rule of thumb: When they're fanless like this, they're typically silent. At worst a very low transformer hum, which can usually be silenced by some felt feet. The fact it's their 'home line' not enterprise always hints at noise being a concern for them.

      Need more details, it would absolutely NOT power my Synology rackmount.

      It absolutely WOULD power one of those dinky desktop 2~8 bay devices.

    • boonhowe on 27/05/2024 - 13:54

      Have the same UPS powering my NAS, NBN modem, router.

    Does anyone know what the voucher is actually for and what are the T&C for the voucher? I can't find any details on if it is like a discount code applied at checkout at a specific store or if it is like a prepaid visa/mastercard which can be used anywhere.
