>Eaton just wants to scam some extra money out of people

Seems quite improbable that would be the purpose of the article. The article is basically saying "buy a single UPS instead of buying two to daisy chain them expecting to get better results". If anything, such advice would lead to people buying less devices.

Of course if one had two UPSes laying around for nothing, then I guess daisy chaining might come to mind to get better capacity or something for no extra price. However, generally people don't randomly have UPSs laying around for no reason, so it would make sense to buy higher capacity UPS than two lower capacity UPSs to daisy chain them anyways (and for probably quite similar total cost of ownership).




Let’s say I do have two UPSs lying around though, and a soldering iron.
