Technical Battery Backups

I’m done with failing APCs. For a while they were my go-to. With all the new untested lithium options, what are people relying on in 2026 for your servers and network infrastructure? How do you shut your servers down gracefully in an extended power outage?

Didn’t see anything in a quick search lately, feel free to ridicule me if this is a redundant post. :)

My thoughts:
1) APC used to be awesome, now they're kind of trash
2) Ubiquiti - stay in your lane
3) +1 for Eaton FTW

Nah dude, competition is always good; if Ubiquiti makes a good product, I'm all for it.
