A:AnswerThis unit will send the inrush through to the circuit. At that point, the breaker will trip but the APC will remain on allowing the pc to power on. I would recommend buying a larger APC that specifies the allowable inrush. Then you could unplug the APC from the wall to allow the PC to use the power from the APC to power on , then plug the APC back in to the outlet on the wall.
Hope that helps.
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately the batteries can't be changed on this unit. If you are interest in an UPS with a replaceable battery you can check out the BN650M1.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. Yes, the BN450M well beep while running on battery power and will also beep when it reaches a low battery condition. It is possible to silence the on battery alarm, but not the low battery alarm.

A:AnswerThis one is 450 VA. The unit like this one that powers more devices is an 850VA model. My back up plan calls for these uninterrupted power supplies to provide shorter protection and to avoid re-booting and reprogramming issues that come up during power failures and brownouts. So far, so good.
A:Answerthat's a tough question considering a device less than a year old has experienced its third power out here in Peoria IL. now I lost a router that is plugged into this piece of cheap junk.
it beeps for 10 seconds and no charge. you would think surge and some form of protection but instead it just killed my 200.00 router once power came back.
complete garbage
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. The UPS may make a small humming noise especially when the unit is on battery. It shouldn't be noticeable in an office environment though. Please reach out at to an APCbySchneider support team at your convenience so we can look into this issue further. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272 option 4.
A:AnswerHighly unlikely. A typical sump pump is 1/3 HP. This converts to about 250 VA. When an induction motor starts it typically draws 5 times rated current or in this case about 1250 VA or about 3 times the rating of this UPS.
A:AnswerThank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll work with Best Buy to have this information updated. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
