content: Recently acquired a few of these, probably produced in 2021. One of them has been inspected but the other two have never seen the light of day.I'm open to honnest offers. Be aware that the output sockets are //not// regular IEC. If you want to see some functional testing first, let me know what you are looking for.Shipping is no breeze given the size and weight but for the EU I will be able to provide a solution. I'll be happy to consider shipping elsewhere but YMMV.

content: Just wondering... I don't know a whole lot about UPSs. It was just a nice opportunity I couldn't resist. That said, there seems to be little enthousiasm for them. Is there a specific reason for that? Is there anything I could do to increase the appeal in general?

content: Have a lot of experience with these. We call them " boat anchors"So, the EU and US market for RM UPS is usual or different mains connectors. These USA twist lock are usually for 3 phase or high current mains. Adapter of these connectors is a huge cost and pain.0. brand is a low cost Chinese copy of US brands APC, Tripp Lite, which are far more desirable.If shipped out of EU, value, content of batteries, weight and origin will incur a huge paperwork, VAT, Brexit , regulatory and freight cost, way more than the goods value.Suggest...1. sell locally eg on Belgium person to person ad site ( le bon coin, PAP)2. sell in person at Ham radio Fleas3. contact local data centers, servers, coin miners if any exist.4. donate to electronics recyclers or charityAVOID ANY SHIPPING!I have connections at Catholic U of Louvain and Tienen who might be interestedBon courageJon

content: The NEMA L6-30R is 30A 240 or 208V AC. and L6-20R is 20A 208 or 240VAC, all single phase.They are American industrial power connectors. I'm sure they are common enough in server racks in America.Matching plugs are notthatexpensive. In America theverynice Marinco ones are around $17. I accedentaly brought some with me when we moved to the UK in 2007. I have no idea where they are now or if I even still have them.Of course getting Marinco in the UK / EU is a lot more. A quick check on RS, and Farnell came back with prices around £30 for a (not Marinco) plug.Shipping the UPS and batteries to the UK would be nuts, especially for something I don't need and don't have room for.Our home is 81 square meters. That include two rooms where the ceilings are too low to stand in.

content: I went looking for my long forgotten L6-30P. Did not find it, but I did find one 15A IEC connector.If someone buys the UPSanda Marinco L6-20P or 30P, I will give them this for the cost of the postage: (Current UK price is about £55!)

content: Appreciate the feedback, guys. I understand the connector situation might put some folks off. Then again, you'd need only one or two to setup shop. Looked around a bit, digi-key has some for 23€.I wasn't aware that Cyberpower was regarded as a lesser brand, certainly good to know.I don't really care all that much about shipping it around the EU. Would probably strap it on a pallet. As it's still in the packaging, that should be more than enough to get it to it's destination safely.Jo, if there's any chance you could ping your contacts to see if they might be interested, that would be brilliant. I already have it on the local "leboncoin" alternative, highest offer thus far was 50€. I could probably get that for a single batteryWhich is another option (get the batteries out) but I really don't want to go that route....
