I present to you the holy hardware compatibility table:
https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html
Anything not listed there is not worth buying.
Eatons batteries are usually really simple to switch, see
https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/backup-power-ups-surge-it-power-distribution/backup-power-ups/eaton-5s-ups/eaton-5s-120v-user-manual-700-1000-1500-lcd.pdf
For me they are meant for allowing a graceful shutdown in a powerout scenario and to protect the hardware behind them from power surges.
That's why you integrate with NUT. So you can automate a graceful shutdown when battery levels drop to a set level.
Tl;dr apc bad? I have 4 cyberpower so no experience with them
They got bought. They started to suck.
Now they've been 'sploited, they're overpriced, and they still schlepp the same bad software.
What's wrong with APC? I have one for 6-7 years. I've changed the battery once and I think I'll have to change it again this year. I didn't have any problems with it.
Trash software.
At least their service is good.
Can confirm. Software is trash. Wanted me to connect it to the internet and setup a cloud access account. Like, dude, you're a glorified battery pack I'm not adding a backdoor because you want to tell APC when my warrenty is about to expire so I can get marketing emails.
