Owner's manual

Q: What is the ventilation / heating specifications on the unit during non back up power operation and in battery drawing modes. Basically how hot does it get. Is it fine if laying on carpet or does it require a steady air flow and placed up high?

A: Thank you for your recent inquiry. Heat dissipation data is not readily available for this unit, but as request as been made for it. We recommend approx. 3" all around the unit for heat dissipation. This device comes with mounting feet. We would suggest placing the feet on the unit in the orientation you plan to place it on the floor. This will leave a small gap to help facilitate air flow.

Q: How long does this unit last without power?

A: The amount of time that any UPS supplies power during an outage depends upon the power draw of the item(s) plugged in to the UPS. This unit, given that it has a small lightweight battery is perfect for something which only needs limited juice. I have a shower control unit which needs resetting if the power fails for a microsecond and it is a pain to reset given all that I have to do to access the controller and I am usually getting into the shower when I discover that it doesn't work. This UPS would supply the controller with power for days probably although I have not tested it for that long. But a motor or a monitor would use LOTS more juice and this small unit would not be as useful as a larger and heavier one. The bigger and heavier the UPS battery the longer it will run whatever is plugged into it.

Q: Does this unit provide pure sine wave output?

A: Thank you for inquiry. No it has a stepped approximation sinewave.

Q: Do the outlets in the back support a power load as well as surge or just surge? Does this device tell my computer to shut down when there is a loss of power?

A: 1. Load + surge. 2. No. No communication to PC.

Q: What is the MAH of the lithium battery?

A: Spec sheet provided with device lists a capacity of 11,400 mAh and a capacity of 41.2 Wh (watt hours).

Q: Will this protect my monogram machine from an electrical surge?

A: Thank you for inquiry. Yes this unit will provide surge protection. However keep in mind the unit will only support 50 watts of power connected to it. I would verify how much power your monogram machine draws to make sure the unit will support it.

Well designed, versatile, limited power, pricey
Probably the best looking battery backup/surge protector out there. Not an eyesore in front of you on the desk, all day long. Very well designed, small, compact, with removable lithium battery having additional usefulness for charging portable devices. Helpful LED lights on the unit could be dimmer, they are too bright at close range. Unfortunately compactness also means, in this instance, limited power supply adequate only for a couple or three low power devices such as routers and modems. For that purpose it appears to work quite well. Somewhat pricey though at list price. Would like to see a similarly designed device with considerably higher power enough to backup a regular desktop computer.

Perfect backup option for cable modem/routers
I had been looking for a dedicated battery backup for my cable modem/router in case the power went out. I have other battery backups for everything from lights to charging cell phones, but wanted something that would automatically power my internet connection. I first looked at your standard lead acid systems for desktops, but have had bad luck with them in the past (eg, that annoying beeping). That's when I found this APC unit. The fact that it's lithium ion, and I could get additional batteries was very appealing. It also had gotten decent reviews. I picked one up at Best Buy, and decided to try it in a simulated "power outage". I was able to get about 75 minutes out of one battery with it connected to a Cisco cable modem, D-Link DIR-880L router, and my Panasonic cordless phone. The router had 7 wireless devices connected to it that were constantly running. I kept using the internet during this time. I know others have gotten 2+ hours with this model, but I was happy with my runtime considering the load I was putting on it. This unit is extremely easy to setup and use. My only qualm is how loose the battery sits. It would be easy to knock loose if you have a cat, dog, young kids, etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this APC battery backup.

Great for routers
I have a century Link dsl modem router and this keeps it powered for hours during a power outage. End up using every winter when we lose power. It's lasted as long as 4 hours once and still had juice left. Depends on your routers power draw but for low powered devices it is worth It to keep them running.
