+ 1 for Lewis also.
Duracomm is a bit pricey but very reliable and they also use some mean well. The issue I have is clean wire runs in the cabinet and fuse buss distribution because mikrotik dosent have a good industrial case for rear or front facing lugs for connecting to fuse buss.

the one design I did like about cambiums cmm5 was the port facing lugs for quick connect

    Phoenix and Meanwell both make good AC to DC power supplies that
    have battery managers available with low voltage disconnects. They
    also have temp monitors to prevent over charging and dry contracts
    for alarm states. You pick the battery size and the and size of
    the power supply based on your load and how fast you want your
    batteries to recover.

    Once we went to this setup or power problems practically
    disappeared. Sure monitors tell you when per drops and if you know
    the battery size you can calculate how long you have if Power
    drops before you have to get a helmet or there if it doesn't come
    back.

    Once we got all sites on this setup Mikrotik routers became out
    biggest downtime issue. And they are decently reliable.

        Give me a list of all the stuff you need to power, and I can
        tell you how I'd do it... whether or not that's the best, or
        even a good way to do it, is another matter. It is going to
        involve a pile of Packetflux stuff though (of course most of
        that might already be there anyway... )

        That Alpha Cordex thing does look pretty nice, and would
        certainly simplify things.

            Id love you to do it out of the kindness of your heart,
            but i do have some advisory busget.

            Im just tired of the apc ups waste and super ghetto
            runtimes on batteries coupled with having to accept we are
            destroying runtimes by letting the apcs die..... please,
            somebody, please. Otherwise i have to go to the facebook
            groups, and thats like going to a mikrotik or ubnt forum.
