Mihle Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Would Cyberpower Value Pro VP1000ELCD be a good UPS from my nas that dont draw that much (less than 200W)? Specs says battery is replaceable by qualified personnel or something, so I am guessing I would manage to do that. Quote Link to comment
doesntaffect Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Sure. I am using a ValuePRO VP700ELCD Green Power UPS 700VA/390W. With the current draw of 95 - 110W in average in provides 30mins of coverage - that’s enough to safely shutdown my host. I am using the UPS since a year and had no issue so far. With the USB Deamon you can monitor draw / backup time from within the UnRaid GUI. Quote Link to comment

The 1000VA one would probably be overkill then, my NAS average load unless I do something that loads it right there is less than 80W Quote Link to comment

Ideally you want a full shutdown before the UPS batteries are 50%, deep discharges tend to kill battery longevity, and if you start back up thinking the outage is over and the power goes right back out you want a good margin. Typically recharge times are 10X runtime, so if you ran on batteries for 10 minutes it may be 2 hours or more before the batteries are fully topped off again. 1 Quote Link to comment
doesntaffect Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 For environments with unstable grid I‘d go with the larger one. For Central Europe, where I live, a small UPS is fine. No outage since years… knocking on wood. Quote Link to comment

I dont really have many power outages, for a two month period it was much more than usual at about once every two weeks. Usually its like once every year at maximum, usually less. Never had more than once on one day. Quote Link to comment
efamose Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 does your unraid systems automatically shutdown upon your configured timers? I'm considering buying a VP series as well and want to make sure it's fully compatible with unraid. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
