Choosing a UPS for critical power usually means deciding between two different philosophies: a more compact LiFePO4 backup unit or a larger rackmount smart UPS. The Goldenmate Back-UPS 1000VA/800W LiFePO4 Battery Backup UPS Surge Protector sells for USD 136.80, while the CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U Rackmount Smart UPS 2200VA 120V Battery Backup sells for USD 184.98. The real question is whether you need the higher VA headroom and rackmount flexibility of the CyberPower, or the lithium iron phosphate chemistry and lower listed price of the Goldenmate.
Quick verdict
Pick the Goldenmate if a LiFePO4 battery, a lower listed price, and freestanding placement matter most. Pick the CyberPower if you are outfitting a rack or equipment cabinet and want a larger 2200VA UPS with AVR, audible alarm, and an LCD status display. The Goldenmate is listed as Certified - Refurbished, while the CyberPower is listed as Used, so both are pre-owned-condition listings.

Where the Goldenmate wins
The Goldenmate has the lower listed price of the two and comes with a LiFePO4 battery. Its listed operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and the self-developed BMS with six protections give it a strong case for someone who wants a lithium-based UPS for a desktop, small office, or a location with wider temperature swings. It is white and described as a Certified - Refurbished unit, and it includes surge protection. If you don't need a rack form factor, the Goldenmate covers the essentials at USD 136.80.
Where the CyberPower wins
The CyberPower is the higher-capacity unit at 2200VA and a 2U rackmount form factor. It adds line-interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation, an LCD status display, USB and serial communication ports, an audible alarm, surge protection, and a NEMA 5-20P input plug. Its black design and Used condition make it a practical fit for rack-based servers and networking gear that need more backup capacity and monitoring. At USD 184.98, it costs more than the Goldenmate, but it also brings the larger VA rating and rack-mounting flexibility.
Product notes
Goldenmate Back-UPS 1000VA/800W LiFePO4 Battery Backup UPS Surge Protector
The Goldenmate Back-UPS 1000VA/800W LiFePO4 Battery Backup UPS Surge Protector is listed at USD 136.80. It is a Certified - Refurbished white UPS with surge protection, LiFePO4 battery chemistry, one cooling fan, and a -20°C to +60°C operating temperature range. The main reason to choose it is the combination of a lower listed price and lithium iron phosphate battery. The limitation is the 1000VA capacity, which is much lower than the CyberPower's 2200VA, and the certified-refurbished condition means you should be comfortable with a reconditioned unit.
CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U Rackmount Smart UPS 2200VA 120V Battery Backup
The CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U Rackmount Smart UPS 2200VA 120V Battery Backup is listed at USD 184.98. It is a Used black 2U rackmount UPS with audible alarm, AVR, surge protection, LCD status display, USB and serial communication ports, and a NEMA 5-20P input plug. The main reason to choose it is the higher 2200VA capacity along with the rackmount form factor, which suits equipment that lives in a rack. The limitation is the higher listed price and the Used condition; you will also need an outlet that matches the NEMA 5-20P plug.
Final choice by use case
If your critical power setup is freestanding and you want LiFePO4 battery technology at a lower listed price, go with the Goldenmate Back-UPS 1000VA/800W LiFePO4 Battery Backup UPS Surge Protector. If your setup is in a rack and needs more VA capacity plus AVR and LCD monitoring, the CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U Rackmount Smart UPS 2200VA 120V Battery Backup is the better match.
