Are you guys connecting any key source or display components to these UPS units or are you using them strictly for item with drives in them? I was just curious if items like tv's, projectors, Blu-ray players, etc. are being plugged into them. I suspect some items like projectors or plasma tvs, if plugged into would drain the battery incredibly quickly.

Like others, I use CyberPower UPS for computers, NAS, music server and network systems (switches, modem, router) to protect data drives and maintain network continuity, but not on any front-end hifi equipment. I prefer audio and video equipment to have as clean a power path as possible.

CyberPower appears to be a go to for a number of you guys so I'm assuming they make a good quality product.

I'll take a look at their product offerings. Is there a minimum VA/wattage range I should be looking at?

Keep extra replacement batteries on hand, as they fail on average every 2 years.

Thanks for the tip. I wouldn't have suspected they fail so frequently.

Default UPS (uninterrupted power supply) Options
Would you use a UPS with an HD Plex Linear Power Supply? My modded Silenzio is fully powered by one and I am hesitant to use a UPS.
