English! Woo hoo!

And that did remind me of something. An issue with a Tripplite 20+ outlet
power strip some bazillion years ago. We used it to charge Telxons
(remember those?). The power light was blinking/flashing intermittently,
working fine, the light just flashing. I called Tripplite asking if that
means impending failure or something? They said no, it was fine. Also
sent a replacement overnight and said just pitch the blinking/flashing
light one. My boss said I could take it home if I wanted. I did and it's
still in my shop.

I had forgotten all about that.

Exactly. And my response is 'he's wrong'. Support is out of Chicago.
Support speaks english. Support has driven TO my customers to replace
components NOT yet dead but were known to have issues. And even recently
I got a return email on an older PDU from a guy on vacation! And not
just 'hey I forwarded it to xxx' an actual suggestion too (and it
worked.)

LONG time user of Tripp UPS data center products. The only thing that
seems to stop them is spraying water in the front of the UPS. You'd
think they would have thought of that but hey, live and learn.

Their support is also excellent. Even the water spray incident and
follow on support getting back on line was excellent.

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.
