Liebert is very good, and -- as you said -- expensive. If you are outfitting a datacenter, they are usually on the list. Cyberpower is reasonably reliable; the batteries can be found online. They are USB connected devices readable by NUT. Some selected stats: battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 20 battery.runtime: 3060 battery.runtime.low: 300 battery.type: PbAcid battery.voltage: 24.0 battery.voltage.nominal: 24 device.mfr: CPS device.model: CST135XLU device.type: ups driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.version: 2.8.0 driver.version.data: CyberPower HID 0.6 driver.version.internal: 0.47 driver.version.usb: libusb-1.0.26 (API: 0x1000109) input.voltage: 121.0 input.voltage.nominal: 120 output.voltage: 121.0 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.load: 16 ups.mfr: CPS ups.productid: 0501 ups.realpower.nominal: 810 ups.serial: CDQHX2004035 ups.vendorid: 0764
