Is there any difference between UPS batteries, or is it all the same shit with a different label on it? Are SUPER BATTELY POWEL GLEAT TIME fine to use, or should I spend the extra for Drypower brand batteries?
>>107013239The cheap ones will leak all over your dick while you sleep.
>>107013239>UPS replacement batteriesSpend the extra $10 per replacement battery and go with LiFePO4 batteries with built in BMS protection.2x 12v 7amp SLA (Sealed lead acid) batteries are $40 for a pair whilst 2x 12v 10amp LiFePO4 BMS batteries are $60. They are not only lighter, have a longer lifetime, support more charge cycles but offer more electrical storage than the cheaper SLA alternative.Make sure the size is right for your UPS but I got this:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F28YQ2ZL?th=1My UPS takes 4 batteries so I got that amazon item twice, and my UPS's diagnostic check concluded that on critical failure it can power my home firewall/router, modem, 3x tp-link 8 port switches, eap245 wifi router, a banapi r3 mini, eufy homebase, a generic security NVR, 4 PoE ip cameras, and a dell optiplex micro (cpu is a i7-7700T) for 3 hours on power failureIts pretty gas and I hope my reply helps you make a decision.
>>107013371Thanks, I will look into LiFePO4 batteries. I'm an Ausfag, so can't buy that particular Amazon link.
>>107013415>I'm an Ausfag, so can't buy that particular Amazon linkI'm sorry the link isnt available to you but when searching for LiFePO4 batteries, specifically for a UPS replacement you absolutely must ensure that it has built-in BMS. You won't have this issue with SLA batteries but I do recommend LiFePO4 with BMS; its worth the small additional cost.Also the obvious of making sure the dimensions are right: Most UPS systems use 12v batteries wired in series but some use batteries that are a bit thicker, so just make sure that the replacement batteries you purchase are the right fit. If your system uses the thicker 12v batteries then its worth spending more on thicker replacements that store more energy. Some batteries may look like the same size but really arent, be sure to check for exact dimensions.Also idk how well versed you are in electrical wiring and what wiring in parallel vs in series looks like but if you arent positive, just take a picture of the previous wiring or take notes prior to swapping things out.If your UPS doesn't have a built-in test for runtime on utility line failure; manually fuck things up and start a timer because thats actually good to know

>>107013552It's for an old Eaton 5E, two battery unit. Batteries died a year or so ago, never got around to replacing them, but after a powersurge the other week that killed my PSU and MOBO I need to start using it again, sooner rather than later.I do plan to buy something better down the line (unit doesn't have a screen, or much of a status system at all), and this unit would end up probably as a backup somewhere, or I might give it to my parents or something.I'm skilled enough to tackle this, have done more serious stuff in the past, so I know how to swap the batteries over easy enough, parallel/series, etc. From memory last time I opened it, it's in series.At a glance ebay will probably be the best way to get a pair of batteries, our Amazon isn't really great from more specialised stuff.So basically I'll be looking for>QTY: 2>LiFePO4>BMS>12v>Atleast 9Ah>151x65x96mm
>>107013239haha car battery go brr
Why not just use a battery bank?
Finding something to fit the 65mm dimension that is greater than 8Ah and/or isn't crazy expensive is proving difficult. I measured and I absolutely can not fit two 100mm wide batteries in there, which seems to be the standard size for 12Ah
I sleep, will report back in morning if thread not killThanks for the advice
