I've owned lead-acid UPS units that died of natural causes before their third birthday. Swollen batteries, that faint rotten-egg smell, the whole retirement home experience. This one runs on LiFePO4 instead, rated for 3,000+ cycles, and that's the whole pitch, and it's a good one.

“I am happy to have gotten an UPS that uses LiFePO4 batteries instead of lead-acid. It has a very robust chassis and feels very substantial when handling. I like the built-in display which shows you power usage in watts and allows you to monitor input voltage, as well.”

It’s lighter and more reliable than traditional models. If you need dependable backup for work or network equipment, this is a good option.

“A lithium-ion battery UPS is a very interesting development. The price level is exactly the same of the traditional UPSs. But this could last much longer than those, so the price must be considered low and worthwhile.”
