A: VA is the Volt-ampere rating. This will tell you the capacity of the battery and it's ability to carry a load during a power outage.
Q: Can the battery be replaced in this UPS?
A: Yes, there is a replaceable battery in the unit. That was one of my first questions, too. The battery "type" is listed in the instructions.
Q: How many times would I be able to charge a mobile device (2016 Android/iPhone device)?
A: Thank you for inquiry. The unit will be able to charge your mobile device around 7 times before depleting the battery.
Q: Does the 650va model come with the PowerChute Personal Edition software?
A: Yes, you can download it for free
Q: Can this unit work on a CPAP station?
A: Thank you for inquiry. This UPS should support your CPAP station. The unit would support 360 watts of equipment attached to it. I would just confirm with the CPAP manufacture that it doesn't draw over that. Also please do note that we do not recommend using our UPS with life saving devices.
A: Search engines are your friend. Querying "APC BN650M1" autocompletes (since it's such a common request) to "apc bn650m1 replacement battery", see screenshot. Of course, your model number may be different, but you'll get the same type of result. In answer to your question, it's a sealed lead-acid battery and prices vary substantially by retailer, but amusingly enough, the prices are just a bit below just buying a whole new UPS. Maddeningly, APC does not even list the BN650M1 (one of their biggest sellers at retailers all around the country) as a current device, but instead they helpfully offer to take it as a trade in and sell us another one at "substantial discount" which is higher than retail. Ahhh yes: Give away the razor to sell the blades.
Q: Will this protect against thunderstorm power surges and outages?
A: Yes. There are various options for providing protection during thunderstorms etc, and an UPS is the best choice since it provides the most protection: - brownouts - power sags - power spikes - power outages (up to 30 minutes)
A: Good morning Cool Mom, Cool name! I had the same issue with the APC, push it down hard and it will go in and over time it gets easier to plug in. I hoe this helps.
