Hmmm. I had a Cyber Power 1500VA unit for a while on my station, but one day I transmitted on 12 meters and something inside the thing made a "pop". This was followed by a loud "crack" and the UPS expired then and there. I should note I have an extremely difficult RF environment on my tiny urban lot (a second floor shack with a SteppIR 3L about 15 feet directly over the operating chair). This might have been a one-off thing, but if you're going to use one of the Cyber Power devices, check it at LOW RF levels on all bands for EMI problems.

Perhaps by accident, I found Cyber Power branded UPS units that 1) claim an 8 hour charging rate and 2) FCC Part 15 Class B compliance for their pseudo-sinewave units. I have two of them in my shack with a 160M vertical only 25 ft away, and with good chokes on their wiring, can't hear any noise when they're in standby mode. Haven't checked for noise when they're inverting.
