[QUOTE="dave briar, post: 141544, member: 7650"] Re: Did I purchase the wrong UPS? So an update: Just yesterday I took possession of a Furman "surge-protected glorified power strip" (4.9 lbs) that I used to replace the CyberPower OR500LCDRM1U 1U UPS (18 lbs) in my SKB rack. My "new" thinking is that the five restaurant/bar venues I do 90+% of my gigs at all have good power and for others I'll just carry along my TrippLite "brick format" UPS (similar to the Eaton mentioned above) separately. I know that many here move so much gear that a few extra pounds in a (rolling roadcase?) rack is inconsequential but it makes a big difference in my little tupperware rack (X32 Rack in a 6u SKB shallow case). Not that the 48 pounds with the CyberPower 1U mounted was that heavy (it did warrant carrying with the two handles, however) but it's a one hander with just the Furman now. If I were to run under a gennie very often I think I would seriously consider springing for a real dual-inverter online true-sine-wave UPS but I'll risk going without for now. All this said, I (and maybe others as well?) still feel there's a market niche for a very light-weight "just give me 30 seconds of switched standby power" 1U unit. </soapbox>. Thanks to all that offered their input above. ..dave [/QUOTE]
