Anyone tried LiFe batteries in their UPS at replacement time?
Those should last much longer than lead-acid.
A LiFe battery in UPS size costs ~$30:
Nermak 12V 7ah LiFePO4
I wouldn't do that. I think the charger needs to be LiFePO4 specific, and there is the potential of something going really wrong and starting a fire. Your insurance company will decline the claim.
I hope someone will start making UPS that come equipped with LiFePO4 batteries, then yes I would get one of those!
