It's all in the title :) Personnally, i'd say my old Cisco Catalyst 2960. Totally EOL but it's my first managed switch.

it stays on for 5+ hours on battery

Dang, that's impressive! What's your typical power draw and would you recommend any UPS units to look into (or stay away from)?

It’s around 15W! I use a rack mounted APC1500. German company, seemingly very reputable. I bought a used unit for about 100 bucks. It’s way too overpowered for my server, so I hooked my workstation, router and switch to it as well. It gives me enough time to theoretically save up my work or close any games (which is also half automated, auto shutdown in 30 seconds unless pacman has a lock up) and shut down and still have 60-70% battery left.
