i hope $120 of that was for shipping b/c buying a UPS with bulging batteries seems idiotic

shipping was actually free and the thing still powers on. I think i made out pretty good with this purchase. Hell, even if literally nothing works after i put things back together the NIC alone makes it worth it, which would be icing on this ugly cake

You need to assume all used UPS units have dead batteries. $100 will get you a new set

UPS with sealed lead batteries is planned obsolescence in current year. If it doesn't have LiFePO4 or replaceable batteries (not proprietary) then...

SLAs are easily replaceable, I'll take a UPS with dead SLAs over a LiFePO4 one any day. Lithium-ion is for portable tech. Hell I have like 10 UPSs with dead SLAs in my garage, you can get them for free because people are too stupid to replace the batteries.

You want a deep cycle battery. Also not all can handle a considerable upgrade. I had a UPS running off a powersport AGM and swapped it for a marine one during a power outage and killed the UPS

been working for 2 years and a bunch of power outages. it's only going to draw the necessary amperage. i did stick a fuse on mine though.

I guess when it's free it doesn't matter how long it lasts but if you ever buy a replacement go to the marine section rather than the automotive one
