Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Manufacturers like APC and Eaton are reliable.
  • APC are usually good about screaming constantly at the least of problems.
  • APC is always a good choice.
  • APC. It's advertised as being for modems and routers. Has 3 two prong outlets and 2 2.5A USB A ports. Was super on sale several years ago.
  • ich finde die marke APC ist super, habe mir ein gerät gekauft ohne netzwerkanschluss aber dafür mit USB anschluss. über den anschluss kann ich stromausfall überwachen und proxmox soft runterfahren wenn ein gewisser batteriestand erreicht...

Cons

  • APC always charges at float 54v for these big banks, intentionally overcharging them and causing premature SLA failure.
  • Our firmware has a huge security hole that is no fault of yours, but you must pay a subscription for the fix. ... you must authorise it with a paid subscription account or it is non functional.
  • I’ve only used APC and they are terrible.
  • Not APC as they have firmware shenanigans that I don't want to deal with.
  • I've never been fond of the APC or Cyberpower UPS devices.

For a future giveaway, I think a solid UPS from a brand like APC or CyberPower would be a great prize. It’s one of those essential pieces of gear that I’ve wanted forever but keep putting off because of the price.
