Price
Network management card is pricey but totally worth it.

Despite the mighty size of this unit it only provides 120v and 5ah of battery capacity at 20h discharge or about 13 of that if you load it up with 1000 watts

You can buy a replacement cartridge from apc or just the batteries aftermarket for a fraction

However if you decide to buy batteries make sure that you buy a high discharge variety and not one for emergency lights bc otherwise your capacity will be even worse under load or the battery will die

In the tower configuration the batteries are at the bottom so that the unit sits stable
