I recently stated out loud that my homelab was stable, and now my UPS is posting less than 30 minutes of estimated normal load. What's everyone using as a UPS?

I've been rocking the aptly-named CyberPower OR1500LCDRT2U for the past few years. Should I just replace the cells or upgrade the whole unit?

Probably just a case of replacing the batteries, but if you want to think out of the box: there are some hybrid inverters for solar systems that offer a UPS mode. So you could combine a home solar system with modern lithium batteries with your homelab needs for a better UPS.

This is the $10k solution to the $100 problem I was looking for, thank you for the idea.
