It sounds like the Standard plan was always tied to being under warranty, and they haven't actually changed what's included with the Standard plan? Am I misread

- hedora 4y agoThe wording is ambiguous. I feel like I'd remember the bit where they withold security updates after a few years, and they say the plan that allows security updates to keep working is new. Either way, it's pretty crappy of them. Would love to know of an alternative that will last longer than the first set of (replacable!) batteries.
- seanp2k2 4y agoCheck out the Eaton 5PX series. Local web-based management, no subscription BS, easy to replace standard 12v7ah batteries in a user-serviceable sled, can be used as a tower or rackmount, 120v options available, and you can find them on ebay in good condition for ~$300 shipped with some patience. Just pay attention to the ones with 5-20P plugs, but those can be used with standard household outlets via a simple mechanical "5-15p to 5-20R" adapter, assuming you won't be pulling more than 15 amps. APC is a trash company with trash products. I've had at least 4 of their prosumer UPS models fail over the years.
