Hello, I bought an APC Smart UPS 750 from Galaxus. This is because I have had to replace two Back-USV BX2200 and one Back-USV BX1200 (also bought from Galaxus) and have had to have EACH of these UPSs replaced at least once, and the Back-USV BX1200 twice within 2 years at APV Schneider. Now I thought I'd order a Smart UPS, maybe it's more stable and of better quality. I put it into operation and happened to notice the production date: March 2023. Then I checked the serial number: the battery was produced in May 2022. Galaxus sold me a three-year-old device with a FOUR-year-old battery. Unfortunately, I didn't check this for the Back UPS, but I'm slowly realising why they're dying like flies. The batteries have a lifespan of 3-5 years! So, make sure you check the production date of the battery and the product!

Hello ! I'm looking for a UPS that consumes as little power as possible. I currently have an APC BX750MI which consumes around 20 W~ at no load. Does anyone have a model/type to suggest? Have a nice day!

Do you also have the AEC brand in your programme?

I have an APC-USB. However, I can only configure it via a USB connection or query the status more precisely. As the UPS is located next to the servers, I always have to go to the "server room" with my laptop. But now I have switched from Windows to MacOS and the software no longer runs. Is there a UPS that can be set up and configured via the network? Thanks for any tips!

Hello Together Does anyone have experience with LiFePO4 batteries in UPSs? I came across "Green Cell LiFePO4" on the internet, which are advertised as an alternative to conventional lead batteries. Currently, I have not seen any UPSs with factory-fitted LiFePO4 in either the German-speaking or the English-speaking world - what is the reason for this? Are the manufacturers lagging behind, are there no buyers or is the combination of UPS & LiFePO4 not recommendable - if so, is there a technical reason for this which I have overlooked so far?

The cheapest UPS from Digitec do not appear in the compatibility list. And the test UPS from the compatibility list are far too expensive for me. I wanted to invest well under 100 francs. Only the DS would be connected to it and it doesn't have to be operated. It should only be able to shut down cleanly in the event of a power failure. If necessary, an external hard drive could also be attached. Does anyone have a good, solid recommendation? I've already searched my fingers to the bone.

I am looking for a UPS (Line-interactive) that allows to connect Swiss plugs (4 to 6) with the earth (Type J), this filter does not exist. Can you recommend a relatively strong model (desktop PC + 2 screens + NAS + router)?

Good day, I am looking for a small UPS to supply a PC. The trick is that I have to switch off the UPS very easily with a push of a button or even by script. The UPS is used on a machine that is powered by a generator and is switched off every evening. Our current UPS does not switch off anyone because this is not so easy to do, so the batteries die quickly and the UPS is almost empty every morning. We currently have an old APC SpartUPS 1500. Thanks for your type and help

Dear Digitec team. Please expand your search for battery technology lead, Li-Ion, etc.... In addition, some UPSs are smart and can be managed online. This search would also make the purchase easier. Many Thanks!

I am looking for an inverter to which a router and a POE injector (for ip camera) would be connected. All this would be connected to Brazil, so ideally 110v input but OK if only 220v. I would also like the inverter to restart automatically (itself) as well as the injector and the router in case of a power cut. A long autonomy would be a plus (power cuts can last 3-4 hours...) Do you have an idea?

What inverter should I use for an oil boiler in case of a power cut this winter? The idea would be to use it as a powerbank as well.

I want to get a DS920+ soon and am not quite sure which UPS/UPS would be suitable for me. It will be in my bedroom (no discussion please) and should really only protect a DS920+. In the photos I always see this US connection, or is this a UPS standard where I have to buy an additional cable or adapter? greetings

Hi guys, Which UPS from Cyberpower and APC have Swiss plug sockets or are they only with EU plugs?

Hello together I would like to buy a UPS from APC (because of compatibility) for my Synology NAS because I always have power failures at home. (3-4 times per year) I have the Synology DS713+ with 2 disks as well as the Expansion Unit DX513 which is also equipped with 2 disks and an external USB disk for backup. Which UPS would fit? Is it correct to buy the communication cable between the UPS and the NAS separately? Or what other accessories are needed for the UPS and/or the NAS so that the shutdown works properly in the event of a power failure? Thanks for your help

Is there a UPS that has an empty slot for a car battery? So that I can connect an existing 12V or 24V car battery to the UPS and then use it? That would be ingenious, instead of fixed batteries inside the UPS.

I have a Synology Diskstation DS218 and would like to operate it with maximum security. Which UPS device is suitable for this? Thank you!

Hello, I am looking for a UPS for my small server. The power supply has 1000W but I need an average of 300-500W. I would not connect anything else and need about 5min power so that the Linux server can shut down cleanly. Which UPS can you recommend? Thank you very much!

I have 2 servers that I would like to connect to a UPS. Both power supplies say 750 watts. 1) Do I therefore need a UPS with at least 1500 watts (do these things really booze 750 watts) ? secondary question: 2) Would 2 UPSs with 750 watts each be better (even a UPS can break down)?

Hey I need a usv to run my pc (i7,1060,650w psu). Thanks a lot Lg

Hello together I would like to protect a Synology D218+ and a Raspberry Pi 3 from power interruptions. As soon as the power is gone, I want the NAS and the Raspberry Pi to shut down when the UPS has some residual charge. It would be cool if the two end devices would automatically boot up again after the power interruption. But this is optional. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no experience with UPS's :( It is also important that the USB port for the Raspi supplies 2A. After my own research I found: https://www.amazon.com/APC-Batter... However, I couldn't find out whether this would cover my requirements. Can anyone recommend something? I am grateful for any feedback.

Hello together.... I need a usv to protect my beamer from a power failure. I already had an APC BR550GI, but with this model I was disturbed by a a whistling or humming noise when watching movies/tv. I banished the APC to a cabinet with a long cable. I would like to avoid that this time. who has had good experience with their usv in terms of noise cancelling operation? thanks in advance =)
