[Poll] Cyberpower VS TrippLite

[thescreensavers]

Tripplite
VS
CyberPower

If you were goign to buy one of these which one would you pick?

I know one is 200AVs and 50 watts more but thats little so based on everything else other then AV's and Watts which is the better one

I'd say get the Tripplite because it can handle a bigger load.

 

[Oyeve]

I say Cyberpower cuz I own it and it works great.

I need more input in less then 2 days I am buying one of em.

TrippLite and APC are the 2 oldest power & surge protection companies, both have been around for at least a decade. Cyberpower doesn't have the track record or positive reputation of TrippLite, though I don't know anything bad about them either.

I say look at the high-end refurbs at APC. MWink link several a week ago.

Third post from the end. I use two Belkins here. If I were buying again..An APC refurb would get serious consideration.

So Every one is saying tripp Lite b/c of brand name or they know its good?? B/c they were released almost a year ago costco may have a year old UPS never been used before can that affect the battery.??


How much are the battery replacements for both?

 

[GalvanizedYankee]

A true UPS speced battery can set in the warehouse for up to one year w/o being charged and NOT sulfate the plates.
Are the better batteries in the Tripplite?? Buy it and tell us
A pair of batteries cost about ....Meh, $40.

ok you personally which one would you get. ??

I've got a Belkin, Cyberpower, and an OptiUS. They all do what they are supposed to anwork great. Of the three I like Cyberpower's software the best.

Personally I'd go with the Cyberpower because it's cheaper, they work fine, and the software is excellent.

BTW, That Cyberpower is the exact same model I own.

Edit: Amazon sells it for $73.99 Shipped

I own the Tripplite it works great. I bought it at Costco for $99. I like the LCD display that reads the input voltage.

I got the tripplite I got a bad battery one. Going to get another one if thats defective I may be getting the Cyberpower or a belkin http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842101224

 

[Jeff7]

Is there an option for "Either one?"

I'm using Cyberpower now because I was on a budget (read: "needed something cheap"). As DaveSimmons said, TrippLite has been around a long time. Cyberpower, while they may be just fine, is a newcomer.

But even big brands can release the most pathetic junk. That said, I've never had problems with any of TrippLite's, Cyberpower's, or APC's products.


Edit: Hopefully your next UPS will actually work. Sucks that you got a dud.

That's good for me as well. I have always gotten Tripplites at Costco. Tripplite was making good electrical controls before Cyberpower or APC were born.

Well, I had a power outage today that lasted for over 5 mins. My cyberpower alarm kicked off, my PC was still running and logged of and shut down gracefully. Worked great.
