I’m looking for a new UPS to replace an almost 10 years old APC beast that’s having issues, but I’m not sure what to buy.

I’ll be using it to power a small home server and some network equipment in an area where there are occasional power outages (but they last 2-3 hours). My requirements are:

  • 300-600€ range
  • At least 1500VA, 900W
  • Doesn’t make noise unless it’s on battery
  • Must not require proprietary software to monitor it or to calibrate the battery and other basic stuff (if it works with apcupsd or NUT it would be perfect)
  • No weird battery format

What would you recommend?

Thanks!

    I don’t know how it is with monitoring but apc is a pos with their softwares.
    One day they want PowerChute Business Edition then Serial Shutdown while eoling the old completely same UI software.
    It’s like they need the Business Edition 2.0 but are too bone headed to increase the version counter
