UPS/Battery Back Up

[cleveprint]

Hey All. Anyone want to share what UPS/Battery back up they are using with their CTS unit? We are installing a douthitt unit here soon and Im just doing some prep. Thanks in advance!

cyberpower is cheap, you can pick it up at microcenter. at least 1000VA, but I would check with douthitt . You might need more since it has a heater. 1400VA seems to be reasonably priced. Once you get into 2k and 3k units they get EPXPENSIVE!
APC, in my experience, has been more reliable with batteries that lasted longer. They are usually a lot more expensive and their quality supposedly went down some over the years. Still, for something expensive it might be worth spending a little bit more.

they recommended this one https://tinyurl.com/y3nselml but to be honest Im being a cheap a$$ and was just seeing if there were other options that people have used or have had success with. in the grand scheme of things 750.00 shouldn't be a real issue when we are spending a ton on the CTS itself. But I always like to have options!

Ours from Douthitt came with the unit I believe. Get it. We have probably 5 others throughout the shop including one we had hooked up to our I-Image, all of them were mediocre at best. The one Douthitt recommends/sells is the real deal. If you are spending that kind of coin on equipment don't skimp and buy a $200 item that will help protect it.

Our Douthitt came with one too.  It is a nice one.

It will come with one. Check with your supplier.

We ended up getting the one from douthitt. I was just being cheap and seeing if there were other options!
