  • I’ve bought some brand called MightyMax on the rainforest site for replacement UPS batteries They work good. My friend who works IT swears by them to recondition old APC Schneider units.

    Generally cheap sealed AGM lead acids are a lot safer than cheap lithium, the chemistry is simpler, harder to fuck up and the internal safeties are mechanical, not BMS based. Thry may have slightly lower capacity than a name brand cell but for emergency backup when home labbing it won’t matter.















  • I’ve never ran into issues either, but generally in any situation where data integrity is somewhat important, ECC is a very good idea. Its never a problem until suddenly it is.

    I don’t give a crap about my Minecraft server having ECC, but a storage server where cached data gets written to disk, I’d rather have ECC ensure nothing gets corrupted.
