Cheaper, but only because I'd have to buy a battery as well and I wouldn't have any "intelligence" advantage of plugging it into a Mikrotik box. I forgot that if I wanted intelligence, I'd have to upgrade the switch as the 260GSP wouldn't have USB nor the APC package.

The last ones we bought were like $25 each, from Powergate, IIRC. Cheaper and more reliable than a crappy little APC UPS.

From: Mike Hammett Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2015 11:24 AM To: Animal Farm Subject: [AFMUG] Cheap Small Cold Friendly UPS I'm looking for a cheap, small, cold friendly UPS. Basically, an APC Back-UPS before they put in the cold temp cut-out. Something to power an RB260GSP with a couple PoE powered devices (camera, WiFi AP, etc.) off of it for a couple hours. We're talking a 20 watt load at max, so a dedicated DC plant like one would do for a tower would be overkill.
