A good Video on UPS and why you need one.

I replaced the battery at Total Battery and it was under 50 $ . Look up a battery store near to you.

I looked into that and at the time the battery cost almost as much as the UPS I actually have been considering getting another one but larger the thing is name brands which are good.

Direct from retailer yeah the battery will be as expensive as the UPS. However if you have a retailer similar to Battery World shops like that carry the universal batteries to shove into the units and they are often closer to 1/2 the cost of replacing the unit.

The last time I did a battery swap for the office it was ~$120 for the pair of batteries in the unit vs ~$300-350 to replace the unit with the same model. The shipping costs if you have to ship them will kill the value of a battery swap.

This right here....

At one time it was economical to order replacement batteries on Amazon, but last time I checked there weren't too many options that included free shipping and shipping costs were ridiculous.

HOLY CRAP! I've had one ever since I got back into PC's in 2003.

my PC, my displays and my networking hardware are all on a UPS as internet doesn't usually go out in a power failure. well, at least, it didn't when I live in Kamloops and Vancouver, but up here in Prince Rupert, if the power goes out, the internet goes down and then phone / cellular goes down. >.<

Not sure about other provinces, but I've used these 2 that are in Ontario:
https://www.upsbatterycenter.ca/ or https://excessups.ca/home (same address, pretty sure same company)
https://batteryclerk.ca/collections/ups-batteries
Very reasonable shipping to me, but of course I'm not very far away.

Definitely test your UPS's routinely, if they don't run on battery it's time to swap them :)
 
I have like 10 free UPS from work. Ranging from single battery units to 3 Eaton 1500VA 4-battery power filtering units. I'm only using 2. One of the big Eaton's I use for my sump pump just in case we get a massive flooding storm from rain, which happens every few years. And then one for a 3d printer. But our power here is stable af. The only time we have an outage is when some idiot drives in to a power pole somewhere.
 
Anyone have a recommendation for a UPS with AVR? Learning about everything UPS so please pardon my ignorance. I am guessing it will have to be a line interactive unit.
