Keep in mind that pretty much all of them that don't have multiple battery/control modules and auto-switching (like the big APC Symmetra's) will have their own failure modes 3 or 4 years out if you just plug them in and forget them. That is, they will cause downtime even if you don't have a power failure. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
