What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? After all these years, the European or African debate still rages. We now have a new debate: Lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries?

Eaton has a new 6 kVA lithium-ion UPS in the 9PX family. We know you’re probably wondering what the differences are between our existing Eaton 9PX 6 kVA lead-acid UPS. Well, we don’t have just a comparison. We have an INFOGRAPHIC that we think you’ll find entertaining. We’ve included references to Lord of the Rings, Lawrence of Arabia, The Big Lebowski, Star Wars, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (of course!) and others.

So, what’s your favorite part of the infographic? Share in a comment below!

I like that it’s much lighter with longer run-times. Any chance we’ll be seeing this in the smaller 750 - 1k VA UPS?

We do have a 1 kVA 9PX that’s lithium-ion: https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/backup-power-ups-surge-it-power-distribution/backup-power-ups/eaton-9px-ups/9px-lithium/resources/eaton-9px-lithium-ups-brochure-br153145en.pdf

More stuff is in the works but too soon to share here.

African or European UPSes?

Technically, we’re talking about an American UPS here.

Here’s a cliff swallow native to the Americas.
