Budget Homelab UPS Recommendations? (Used or New)

I'm running a rather small homelab and am hunting for a good UPS to help keep everything running smoothly. My top priorities are:

Just enough battery life to keep things running until they can be shut down
Compatible with open source software for monitoring and automated shutdown

Would I have better luck getting a used one and a new battery, or a brand new unit altogether? Anyone have one they don't need anymore, on that note? 👀

Thanks for the advice!

If you are in Germany I'll send you one for free. Have two I am getting rid off.
- Not the OP but if they don't take up on the offer I might be able to. I am happy to pay for the shipping if it's possible for you to send it across the border to Netherlands. (I assume without the battery to comply with shipping regulations).
  
  I am on the road till Friday, then I'll get the model and details so you can make an informed decision.
  
  Thanks!
- Am in germany, I'll take it off your hands :D Where exactly are you?
- I appreciate the offer, but unfortunately, I'm an American.
  
  My condolences. /s
- I'm right next to Germany, in the Netherlands. Me and my gf have been working on a home server to keep our memories safe. I'd gladly take it off your hands.
