Re: UPS recommendation(s)

Oh, you wanted a bypass lever so you could perform online
UPS maintenance while the equipment keeps running.

I wonder if these smaller units have such a thing? And how often do you
perform online maintenance? Like replacing the battery in it or some such
thing? And how much of these smaller units are "sorry it broke we'll send
you a new one as soon as we receive the old unit".

Um, if these UPS all plug into a standard 3 prong 110 outlet then wouldn't
one form of bypass simply be unplug the load from the UPS and plug it into
a power strip plugged into the same outlet?

I'm getting a few quotes on UPS replacement. Since our IBM i is in the
cloud, the current is way oversized. It's a Liebert Nfinity 8kva and time
to replace the batteries. Our total load at the moment is 3.1 amps.

Quotes from least to most expensive. All plug into standard 110v outlet.

- Tripplite SU1500RTXL2UA with an extended battery pack.
- Liebert GXT5-2000LVRT2UXLN with a MicroPOD MP2-120C Power Output
Distribution Box.
- Eaton 9PX3000RT.

The first 2 have network cards and bypass. The Eaton does not. So the
Eaton is out.

Deciding between the first 2. Obviously I have experience with Liebert.
Tripplite experience is with underdesk battery backups for desktops and
power strips with dozens of plugs. No trouble with either brand
whatsoever.

The Liebert guy says his is better quality. Also says that the MicroPOD is
the key to continued operation in the case of total UPS failure. (What if
the MicroPOD fails?)

Any experience here with Tripplite UPS? I have some questions off to him
regarding bypass if UPS failure.

Thanks.
