Best bang for the buck battery backup
Best bang for the buck battery backup
Like the title implies, I’m trying to figure out where to pickup cheap used or new battery backups (ups) in Canada.
I have a couple of small servers I run, so around 1000+ watts should be good.
If I have to replace the battery inside, that’s not a problem, there is a battery place inside my city that offered cheap replacements for around $30.
Any suggestions help!

Look for refurbished units, you can get enterprise grade units for like half the retail price. I recently got a refurbished APC from refurbups.com. Comes with brand new batteries, mostly rack mountable stuff. Ended up being a little over half the price of a brand new one with shipping. Can't tell at a glance if they ship to Canada, but if not I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar Canada based site you could find.
I've purchased several refurb APC UPS' and compatible UPS batteries from "ExcessUPS" out of Toronto. Been using them for at least seven years.
Second this. Had a unit go bad about a month after ordering, they overnighted a replacement. I was blown away.
