I'm running a rather small homelab and am hunting for a good UPS to help keep everything running smoothly. My top priorities are:

  • Just enough battery life to keep things running until they can be shut down
  • Compatible with open source software for monitoring and automated shutdown

Would I have better luck getting a used one and a new battery, or a brand new unit altogether? Anyone have one they don't need anymore, on that note? πŸ‘€

Thanks for the advice!

Not the OP but if they don't take up on the offer I might be able to. I am happy to pay for the shipping if it's possible for you to send it across the border to Netherlands. (I assume without the battery to comply with shipping regulations).

I'm right next to Germany, in the Netherlands. Me and my gf have been working on a home server to keep our memories safe. I'd gladly take it off your hands.

I appreciate the offer, but unfortunately, I'm an American.
