Jim & Jeff, There's spare APC Ethernet cards in the CDL if you need them. Martin On 11/29/2020 6:46 PM, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
So I finally got around to buying the batteries for my two "old" UPS. They cost $12 and $18, with $12 shipping. I got it from refurbups.com
I finally got around to ordering them to protect my new custom built PC that I built (with Connor and Ian's help). I want to protect the new (expensive) parts.

@Dave Mcguire. Thanks for the tip on where to buy replacement batteries.
As far as I know APC is the most recommended brand. I see others are using Panasonic. I'm curious to know which brands everyone recommends or discourages? I echo kudos to @Dave Mcquire. I have a APC SU1400NET and SU2200NET here that are in need of batteries, but I'd put off buying them because I thought it might be best to just buy a new unit. refurbups has nice prices and it looks like a cool deal on a APC SUA750 ($99) that is hard to beat (CyberPower 750 UPS does not run for as long and is 73 at the cheapest I could find)
Finishing an order now.
I'm not a UPS guru by any means, but these Smart UPS units I have have been tanks. Moved 3 times, I replaced the batteries once (easy to do), and are easy to disassemble for cleaning/repair. They are built like a tank, too, so I guess that figures (they have a slot for Ethernet control and such, and I see cards are $15.00 or so on eBay).
