[wanted] UPS

[Cazale]

One of our school's UPS just went kaput. Anyone got a spare/old one they're wanting rid of (for not a lot of money)?

I've got some but need new batteries, can't remember the model but they're 2U APC ones, will have to check tomorrow - free if you can collect. If it's the same battery as your broken one and your battery is fine it'd be a nice cheap fix.

Thanks Katy. Even if it needs batteries it's cheaper than them buying a new one (you know how school budgets are at this time of year).

What size do you need anyway? Think these are 1500-2000VA.

The one that's gone was 1400 VA. It only had one server plugged in, so should be fine I think?

 

Did you find out what batteries yours uses?

This is an APC SUA2200RMI2U https://www.apc.com/shop/uk/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-2200VA-USB-Serial-RM-2U-230V/P-SUA2200RMI2U?isCurrentSite=false

 

Not sure what battery it needs but you should be able to get it from the model number. It's just showing replacement needed quite recently so would probably be fine if there's a way to trick it into thinking it's been replaced. (It's got a battery in at the moment)
