Battery backup protects my Internet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The other day my Internet went down while we were away and I couldn't access my home security system from my Cellphone. When I arrived at home, I found that the battery backup I use to keep my cable modem, wi-fi and security system hardware running during a power outage failed after less than 3 years. Even though that unit was still in warranty, I couldn't find the documentation to verify proof of purchase. I decided to spend a bit more and purchase an APC replacement supply instead of the brand I purchased originally. The APC unit happened to be on sale, so it was only $10 more than an exact replacement, and it is providing me with 25% greater capacity. I've only had it a week now, but it's operating fine. The only issue I have with these supplies is that most of the equipment I need to plug in have oversize power supply boxes making it impossible to use every outlet. Fortunately, I was able to plug in my two wifi routers and cable modem without resorting to a secondary outlet strip, but I lost the use of one of the protected outlets. The security monitor that I would like to have available in case of an outage is plugged into the unprotected side. If the monitor goes down, I can still operate the system via my cell phone app, so the system is still operational. Not ideal, but I preferred that solution to the hassle of adding a second power strip.. I only gave the unit 4 stars because they had the room on the exterior to spread the outlets widely, but chose to group three outlets together and set only one to the side. Had they divided the outlet space equally across the front of the device and relocated the power switch, I might have been able to use all four protected outlets.

Excellent price to performance ratio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this APC - Back-UPS 600VA UPS - Black to replace another APC i had been using for last 11 years. It was cheaper to buy new rather than to just replace a battery! (Make sure you take old battery to an e-recycler) Unit performs perfectly and I highly recommend. You can never go wrong with APC brand. Larry W.

So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned it for about 2 months. I've had to used it 2 times already due to some short power outages. Have not being able to test how long the battery last, but it lasted the 30 minutes i was without electricity having my wireless modem and apple time capsule connected to it. Only down side is that it only has 4 of the total 8 outlets for the back up power. Which should be enough for most people. I'm happy to know that even if the power is out I can still have access to the internet(if its still working in my area) and my local connections to my apple time capsule.

Silent Service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bro...sooner or later the lights are going to go out. Sometimes more than once a day! Now, if you are running critical electronics from your crib 24/7/365 then you can't afford to go dark..ever. This means you've got to have your own juice...your own supply...that's where the APC units come in...Set up is a snap..When the juice fails you can ride-out the interruption (up to 40 minutes***) until you figure out "Plan B". Trust MisterRoboto on this one.. Upgrade your personal grid and get the protection that APC provides. You won't regret it!

Works great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this UPS for my computer tower and monitor to prevent data loss and damage from the power flickering due to seasonal weather issues. The UPS has worked very well so far. You don't even notice short blinks and it has a big enough battery to let you shut down properly during longer interruptions. It has an alarm that goes off when you lose power which I find useful. If the power goes out at night it wakes me up so I can take care of things.

A OK!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a big, honkin' heavy thing. I live in FL where the wind blows and then the power decides to take a nap on a near daily basis during the summer months. I purchased this for my desktop PC and gaming consoles so I would, at minimum, have at least enough time to save my games and documents when the power goes kaput. Mission accomplished.

Great product Very reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second APC Back UPS. First one is so reliable, I got another for my Satellite and Internet modem. Gives about 30 minutes of power depending upon load. Prevents electronics from flickering on & off during storms. Plenty of time to shut down electronic equipment properly. Easy to replace the battery

Q: QuestionCompatibilityIs this unit has compatibility with iMac? Please let me know. Thanks
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer With a quick look at the I Mac specs, it appears that this will provide reasonable support for just the computer and monitor. It has a capacity of about 360 watts, (I Mac G5 = 180W) which should be adequate. The I Mac shows a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hertz, so the stepped wave form should not be too damaging. The UPS is an off line unit so "normal" operation does not use the inverter. That being said, there may be issues with the transition from utility to UPS power according to the ability of the I Mac to withstand a sub-second wave form disruption. This is a simple, inexpensive UPS. If you use the I Mac for serious use you may want an online, double conversion, sine wave unit, which is much more expensive. Home use is probably OK.

Q: QuestionMy telephone & security system is attached to TWC's modem, TG1672G. Will the APC 600VA system backup the phone/security function during a blackout?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It depends on the power consumption of your equipment, the capacity of the UPS and the duration of the power failure. First, add up the wattage ratings of all the devices you want to connect to the UPS. Next look at the specifications of various UPS's and select one that can deliver that much (or more) power for a period equal to the longest blackout you anticipate. Example: if you need 50 watts, a UPS that can deliver 100 watts for 60 minutes will provide 50 watts for about 120 minutes. However, I recommend buying the highest VA rating you can afford. The higher capacity UPS's are better built, have better surge suppressors, often have replaceable batteries, and they run proportionately longer. Reserve capacity is always desirable.
