    Just right size with the right qualities...

    I use multiple UPS units to keep the power going continuously on certain devices in my house. This unit was specifically purchased to power some smaller "not so wattage hogging" devices, and the price was right as well as the size and specifications. Purchased it, plugged everything in, and it all worked. I'd like to say the experience was amazing or something, but I know what I need and how it should work, and it worked (and continues to work) perfectly. While l also have larger units for more powerful equipment, this smaller unit fit in quite nicely for multiple battery chargers etc. Overall highly recommended and a great price.

    Really useful for electrics protection.

    This product has been really useful for me and my family, the surge protector functions pretty well. We had an electric peak this year, and none of my electric equipment connected to this were damaged.

    Great Compact UPS/Battery Backup

    Compact enough to place on a shelf. But powerful enough to provide uninterrupted power to your most important low wattage devices. I have my modem, router, and network attached storage plugged into mine. And still have room for additional devices. Also means that in a power outage, I'll still have Internet.

    Great deal

    For the price and what I need, you can't beat this item! I just want to prevent my computers from crashing if the electricity were to cut off all of a sudden, which seems to happen a few times a year (storms, car wrecks, etc.) I need to plug in my PC, LCD screen, bose speakers, and my gaming console. I bought two to serve the different areas in my upstairs living rooms.

Questions & Answers
  • Whats the duration of the backup in hours ?

    Thank you for your inquiry. The amount of runtime available will depend on the size of the load attached. Please refer to the attached brochure for runtime information for typical loads. http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/JSIE-AD7S69/JSIE-AD7S69_R0_EN.pdf?sdirect=true

  • Does the battery recharge and last a lifetime? If not - is it replaceable? Last APC unit the actual battery died

    Thank you for your inquiry. The BN450M will recharge its battery. The normal life of the battery will be anywhere from 3-4 years, depending on battery usage, load percentage and operating environment. The batteries in the BN450M are not user replaceable.

  • Will it auto shut off an iMac when power goes out? Is the software and hardware fully compatible with Macs?

    Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately this unit will not provide a graceful shutdown of your system. It designed primarily to be used with smaller equipment like a modem and router. If you wanted the UPS to trigger a graceful shutdown than you would need to go with our BE600M1 instead. You would then connect the USB cable that comes with the UPS from the Mac to the UPS. You can use the embedded energy saving features of the Mac OS to provide a graceful shutdown of the system.

  • Will this be able to protect my 50" led tv and my denon reciever in a surge or power outage, or should I purchase a backup with more power?

    Thank you for your interest in our products. I would lean more towards getting a larger UPS because there is a chance that this unit would become overloaded since it only supports 255 watts of equipment attached to it. I would probably look at least towards the BE600M1 or BVN900M1.

  • Will this unit run a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener for a couple of UP/DOWN cycles?

    I haven't tried but this is a very small battery. Very very small. There is a good chance it might try to open the garage door only to either burn up the APC or worse your garage door opener due to lack of amperes. When you have a load pulling more amps than a power supply can provide what generally happens is something gets smoked. If you were trying to get a portable way to open a garage door then I would get a large car battery, a 12v. power inverter (to convert the car battery to 120v AC.), and a cheap battery charger to refill the car battery. This will be more expensive but much safer and less chance of screwing up your garage door opener. Before you spec out and buy your 12v power inverter look on your garage door opener for input current or wattage. If it is displayed in wattage take the number and divide by 110, this will tell you how many amps it pulls out of your wall. It'll probably be arourd 2 to 6 amps or so (I've never messed with a garage door but there are other factors at play that I cannot estimate like how heavy your door is and how much of a counterbalance you have aiding the lift.). Use that amp rating when deciding on a power inverter and make sure your inverter is 30% stronger than necessary to avoid smoking components. Good luck. FYI. I have spent a couple years doing work in electronic prototyping.
