I’ve heard a lot of people say the key wasn’t Smart or Dumb, but XL or not XL, on the premise that the XL models had a more robust charger. But I guess that’s for tower sites.
I’ve run the little 500 VA BackUPS models for a long time with just a battery change every 3-5 years. They had several different model numbers but all looked similar. The larger tower models always seemed to get swollen batteries that would get wedged inside. The best SmartUPS model for me was the 1400 VA rackmount XL. Those didn’t seem to destroy batteries like the tower models. What problems did you have with the BackUPS models? For a home UPS you probably aren’t using the web or SNMP monitoring.

I'll use a Back-UPS at home, but that's about it. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
