Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
If it's low duty just buy a Tripp-Lite because you aren't going to gain anything useful out of the more expensive APC stuff.

They all have replaceable batteries unless you buy something ultra ultra cheap.

At low $$$ it's all the same poo poo, but if you want something like PowerChute then I'd go APC.

Just get a $50 dollar whatever UPS then if that's all it's for, the brand doesn't matter at all. gently caress, get Cyberpower for all it will matter.

It's fine, just cheaper/lower quality. Again, it's perfectly fine for your use case.

why would it be a code violation for a switch to control an outlet. that doesn't make any sense. how the gently caress do you think lightswitches are supposed to work.

you're not making any sense. it's just a light switch, it goes off, and it goes on. where does "electrical tolerance" come into that.

apc has really cheaped out on their "consumer" stuff in the last few years. i wouldn't spend extra to get an apc ups anymore.

for your home do spend extra to get apc surge protectors though.

apc-branded surge protectors "fail fail open" so your poo poo turns off. most other reputable companies "fail closed," and you're expected to notice a little blinking light or something to indicate that your poo poo is no longer protected

in fire safety. i asked my dad, who is a certified electrician, about this, and he told me that in latvia use of a generic light switch for domestic outlet or otherwise connected electrical equipment power access control is a violation of electrical fire safety code

that makes no sense. how could you possibly wire up a light switch so that it safely switches like 300 watts of a lighting fixture but does not safely switch a 100 watt tv or something.
