Hi,
During this winter I just had a 3rd power outage. Thought it was a good time to buy a UPS, I need it for CCTV + home network (routers, switches). All of these devices consume about 25W in total, not really that much.
What do you think about buying an used UPS plus a new battery?
I was thinking about something like:
- UPS APC Back-UPS CS 500 - used one, without battery for $20 with warranty for a few months.
- new battery: Alarmtec BP 7-12 (12 V, 7 Ah, 2,05 Kg) I can get it for $15.
I don't really need much but it would be nice to have some backup (extra power for at least a few minutes).
