What is a good UPS to use at home?

We've seen many people use the APC Back-UPS series for a long time without
issues. Older models had replaceable batteries and will often work fine
with a new battery; they don't have a calibration command so it's good to
put a light load (30-50%) and let them run down to empty once or twice so

What are you going to run off it, and what run time do you need? It matters if
you are running electronics or a sump pump, and if you just want enough time to
save your work or if you want to keep working for a couple hours. Also most
people have battery operated laptops and tablets now which
Yes, Depends on what your load is. At home I'm using a SmartUPS3000

Looking to power a desktop for ~30 minutes. I have both the old APC
Back-UPS and Tripp Lite SU750XL but was curious if
there were any new options available that might be better.

Most consumer UPSes only come with enough battery to power their full load
for 5-10min so to power a 250W-using desktop and monitor for 30min I think
that you'd need the amount of batteries (2x 12V 12AH) usually seen in
1000-1500VA UPS models.
There's not much "better" with non-network UPSes as th

The only new thing I’ve seen is I think there are some UPS models now using
Li-ion batteries, but still like Colin says, almost no UPS is designed for long
runtime without external battery packs. Even buying a higher power unit and
running it at a fraction of rated load doesn’t help much becaus
In my experience running at a fraction of the load to obtain longer runtime
does work well with at least the Smart-UPS units; UPSes / inverters will be
less efficient at the lower load, but at the same time batteries are more
efficient at a lower discharge rate.

pricing the 820c at double the Aviat? Sounds like Cambium should be cheaper
since the Aviat clearly has some advantages.

have you asked your Cambium sales manager for better pricing? Also have you
