Biggest beef with consumer-grade is when battery dies, the entire UPS fails ... EVEN WHEN A/C POWER IS STILL BEING SUPPLIED. 100% of them.

- jacob019 3y agoThat's just not true.
- comprambler 3y agoon shitty ones maybe, decent ones with bypass not so much
- gh02t 3y agoI have one of those absolutely terrible cheap Cyberpower ones, and I actually use it with the battery completely removed for some weird reasons. Works fine, though it gets upset and wants to sound its buzzer even with that disabled in its configuration utility. A few dabs with the desoldering tool fixed that. But really, don't buy those things they are awful as a UPS. Never did work reliably.
- egberts1 3y agoShitty UPSes are the ones which does NOT ALLOW you to replace rhe battery in-situ while critical load is being applied without disruption of critical load.
- ianburrell 3y agoI had to replace battery recently on APC UPS and it didn’t lose power. But did make a continuous alert tone that was so annoying that turned off UPS and pulled it out.
