Hey folks, just curious
For longevity of vintage computers that are hooked up and powered on
semi-frequently; I assume any kind of UPS is better than none to try to
reduce power spikes, or reduce PSU fatigue from brownouts.
I was curious what folks recommendations or thoughts are here? I have a
couple of old (~ 15+ year) UPSes that i'm debating replacing the batteries
on, and one of them would be for plugging in some vintage hardware.
Is there anything I should watch out for? Should I assume these are too
old to effectively monitor/protect - or doesnt' that really matter? etc.
Thanks!
John
