Yes, the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD. I have five of them, first bought at
least ten years ago. In addition to being relatively quiet when in
standby mode, it has the MAJOR virtue of not overcharging the battery,
causing the battery to last a long time. Most UPS units DO overcharge
the battery, so you have to buy a replacement (from them, of course)
every year or two.
With ANY modern power supply, it's good practice to wind multiple turns
of the power cord through a big #31 clamp-on. Detailed advice in this
applications note.
