I've got my FreeNAS machine, router, TV, and a few other electronics hooked up to an APC BR1500G Back-UPS that I bought last year. I've already had to replace the backup battery in it twice (once back in April, and again this today).
The CS rep on the phone said that because my FreeNAS power supply is a Cooler Master Gold Series 800W PSU and has Power Factor Correction, I needed to upgrade my UPS to a Smart-UPS. She started talking about technical stuff (sinewaves, etc) that I didn't really understand, the only thing I heard was that she wanted me to buy a new UPS a year after I purchased this one. Is it necessary?
Thanks
