I think mine was about 8 years old when it failed like that. It was the original battery, so 8 years is a lot to ask from an SLA battery.

It was in a closet where a return air duct was, when the hvac turned on it blew nasty smells out with a little smoke. I spent like an hour tearing the furnace apart trying to figure out then eventually traced the smell back. Never tripped the circuit breaker just sat there smoldering when the battery pack went dead short internally (pretty common for me).

I was quite impressed.

Make me 🤣😂

The standing desk is addicting. I love to stand while I work now. 🤓

Have AI make more coffee then 😂

No idea, it’s AI all the way down, including human AI 🤣

I had a very similar unit, had a board catch fire after the batteries swelled up so bad it cracked the plastic case. No warning, still kind of work through mild outages. I learned my lesson now and replace batteries every 3-4 years, budget permitting.

They're owned by Eaton, which is pretty standard for commercial protection and backup equipment. They used to be really big into commercial and industrial eletrical and service equipment. When I was young we were salvaging 30 y/o eaton disconnects, panels and so on because they were so good. Personally cyberpower commercial line is right behind Eaton. Cyberpower and Eaton offer replacement parts for old units and will even service them (they used to anyway). I can't say the same for triplite prosumer equipment. I got shafted on my 3 year old backups for replacement batteries. They pulled the same shit APC does. Sell a unit that is discontinued after the warranty period, then don't offer parts or service. Or in the case of APC replacement batteries cost nearly the same as a new unit. The answer is always the same. Save your money, buy used commercial grade shit.

Is it expensive to install natural gas lightning?

Is that something that can be done indoors?
