Don't forget that with a bigger/more expensive UPS, most of the time
you have the advantage of hot-swappable battery's and/or a bypass
function plus the ability to shut down more than one server if things
go wrong. Most of the small UPS's have to be shut-down to swap the
battery's. Furthermore with the big UPS's the battery voltage is
higher resulting in low amp's on the battery's resulting in longer
lifetime.

Erland, I think you're talking very large UPS'es here - I haven't seen
anything less than 25kVA with hot-swappable batteries. Bypass mode
yes, but hot-swappable batteries is another level.
