Although this is a good unit: Be Aware, THIS UNIT the 650VA 7 outlet has only a load runtime of about around 10 minutes on a full load I have found (from experience) and DOES NOT come with the Powerchute software or cable to hook up to the PC that monitors the total battery system or shutdown procedure. I was disappointed that I made this mistake. I found that most of these units don’t. I guess it will do the job for my other computer, but I'll have to be here when the power goes out to safely shut down the computer. Next time I'll thoroughly look at the specs. Nevertheless, APC makes great units.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No this one is very much a consumer model and does not have a connection to your PC for power management software. Battery replacement is also an option but it is difficult with this model. We treat these "desktop" type backup as disposable since after about 3 years the power filtering is also going to be of questionable reliability.
