This will allow us to confidently replace batteries instead of replacing the whole unit. This will also allow us to much more easily replace batteries before they cause outages. - Monitor UPS with alert notifications for power issues. - Dashboard can be split up per-client so we can have one central MT tenant. - Cloud functionality is added with either [RCCARD100](https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/hardware/rccard100/) or [RWCCARD100 (wireless)](https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/hardware/rwccard100/) - https://demo.cyberpower.com/ ## Suggested Models Compatible with all CyberPower UPS systems that have an optional card slot (including Smart App Online, Smart App Sinewave, Smart App LCD, and CP1500PFCLCD models). - [CP1500PFCLCD](https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/pfc-sinewave/cp1500pfclcd/) this seems to be the cheapest tower UPS that has an expansion slot. - [BRG1500AVRLCD2](https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/intelligent-lcd/brg1500avrlcd2/) this is the cheapest tower UPS in the intelligent LCD UPS series which is our current standard. - [OR1000LCDRM1U](https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/smart-app-lcd/or1000lcdrm1u/) standard rack UPS that we have been using.
