Hi everyone,
Ww standardized on Cyberpower UPSs because Cyberpower offers models with pure sine wave output at a reasonable price for use with devices that have Power Factor Corrected (PFC) power supplies. APC offers them but they are very price in comparison.
As with any UPS, though, they have consumable components. In MrLynn's case, I'm not surprised the UPS failed. The battery in that model likely required replacement at least two or three years ago. That's why test the UPSs I have in place regularly after the first couple of years.
Any UPS I buy also has automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to ensure clean power is going to the gear. For a while, I skipped this feature on networking hardware but now all of the UPSs I have in place include the feature once I switched to a mesh system which tends to be very pricey in comparison to the cheap single component wireless routers.
