Like the title implies, I’m trying to figure out where to pickup cheap used or new battery backups (ups) in Canada.

I have a couple of small servers I run, so around 1000+ watts should be good.

If I have to replace the battery inside, that’s not a problem, there is a battery place inside my city that offered cheap replacements for around $30.

Any suggestions help!

I appreciate all of the comments everyone! Thank you all!

I’ll probably end up going with a EATON or APC, most likely refurbished to save some money.

If anyone has any websites they want to share of wholesalers that sell old office stuff within Canada, that would be amazing!
