I've had the 1500 model a few yrs and don't run into that issue. I was going to buy a new one but found they sell battery replacements for cheap so went that route and it's working fine. I'd highly recommend Cyberpower.
For long term, regular hard drives are best, i believe. Ssds deteriorate over time so i run apps/games off of those and anything i want to keep I'll put on a regular drive.
