Jul 10, 2026, 7:07 PM@hmiron For a homelab the battery is the cheap part. A 12V SLA is a commodity swap and the electronics usually outlive it. The real question is whether that unit can trigger a clean shutdown over USB (NUT or apcupsd). If it only beeps and can't talk to the server, that's the reason to upgrade, not the dead battery.
