UPS Choice

I am wondering if there are specific requirements for USB-connected UPS.  Such as an CyberPower EC850LCD? (Found a cheap one used, so just seeing if it is worth it!).  NV+ running 4.1.16

Model: ReadyNAS-NV+|ReadyNAS NV+

Re: UPS Choice

It looks like that will work.

 

FWIW, I use several CyberPower UPS - but not that particular model.

Re: UPS Choice

Thanks again.  I got something a bit smaller than planned (CP550SL for $20 - I love Craigslist!).  ReadyNAS has detected it, but I am waiting for a full charge to see how it performs...  should be perfectly fine as long as the NAS shuts down when directed.

Yes, it should work ok.  One thing to be careful about with used UPS - the battery life does degrade over time.  So you should probably measure the run time when you make your test.

Re: UPS Choice

Tested this morning and it gives 2.5 minutes before it hit 50% and shut down the NAS.  I have 70 watts of load plugged into it (50 for NAS, 20 for cable modem, wifi, switch, etc).  Also installed NUT on Ubuntu and it triggered shutdown on that as well.  2.5 minutes probably isn't the best but this does exactly what I need it to do..!

 

StephenB, thank you for your responding to all of my messages.
