[PLUG] Is Any UPS Any Good?
|
During the last thunderstorm, my power went out for about 3 minutes.
naturally, 2 of my UPSs failed to hold on and then was totally dead
afterwards.
I have been underwhelmed by the reliability of the UPSs I have bought. After
investigation, I find the batteries themselves usually still have a charge, but
the charging circuitry is fried.
Most power outages last just a few seconds. I don't care about monitors and
such, so I have only the main CPU box plugged in to these puppies. I had
thought this meant that I could buy low cost, low capacity units. Maybe I
was wrong.
Are any of them any good?
