    Last unit died in a year. This one has more power and will hopefully last longer. We’ll see.

    My experinece with most APC and that they dont give you a very long battery life regardless of cost. Gives you enough time to shut down if you are close.

    Review for APC - Back-UPS 600VA Battery Back-Up System - Black I’ve had a UPS for years and have always been happy when it was needed to do its job. When it died, I replaced it with this APC unit, and it seems to be working just fine. It’s easy to set up, compact enough to sit on the floor or mount on the wall and it can support up to seven items (two for surge protection only and 5 for surge and battery backup). It also has a USB connection which is convenient for everyday charging of my phone or other device. During a power loss, the USB outlet serves as a backup to recharge the phone up to 7 times. Although you can use this UPS to keep your computer and router running for a few hours during a blackout, I like it best for properly shutting down the system. I think I would save the rest of the battery backup for my phone, as mentioned above. During an extended outage, such as a hurricane, I’d have less need of my PC and more need of my phone. This unit provides much peace of mind in that regard. You can get cheaper units and you can get more powerful units, but in my opinion, this 600VA unit seems to be at the sweet spot between price and capacity.

    I don't know if mine is defective but it doesn't put out much power.. my gaming PC is verifiably low power, I have use a multi-meter to confirm this UPS should be fine but it beeps all the time randomly.. might change this if I RMA and that fixes it..

      Thank you for taking the time to review our BE600M1. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our product. Please do take note that a UPS' main purpose it to give ample amount of time to save anything you are doing. In addition, it is not recommended for a UPS' battery to get fully drained as it will affect the battery's life span or worse, it won't be able to recover anymore. Should you need more battery runtime, you may consider a bigger UPS or a model that has a capability of adding extended battery packs. Our UPS Selector tool may help https://www.apc.com/us/en/tools/ups_selector/ or you can contact us at https://www.apc.com/us/en/support/ should you need further assistance. APC

    I LOVE APC!

    I am a huge APC fan, having used their battery backup products for years. I started long ago with a unit for my computer. Later, as I began to upgrade my TVs to increasingly smarter and more expensive models, I got two more APCs for the TVs and their peripherals. Rarely have I had to depend on them for power for any significant length of time, but when a power outage did occur, they were on the job. The 600VA is a new, sleeker model than my 3 other operational APCs, making it ideal for backing up my modem/router, which is located in a closet. I had not previously thought of using one on the modem, but as we are in hurricane season with a storm approaching, it might just come in handy. It's advertised as providing up to 4.3 hours of power to a home network. Depending on how many devices you are trying to power, I don't doubt the claim. After fully charging, I tried it out on just one laptop with minimal use and got 6.5 hours before I stopped testing it out. The 600VA has 7 surge protected outlets, 1 USB port, and 1 data port providing lots of backup opportunities. That said, if the power does go out and you want to maximize battery usage, remember to unplug any devices that aren't critical to you during the outage. Also, it comes with a 5’ cord and a 3 year warranty. In the years that I have used APC, I have had 1 device that finally needed to be replaced (well after the warranty period). Instead of buying a new battery, I simply bought another device, because it didn’t cost that much more than just buying a replacement battery, especially if it was on sale. I love APC and do recommend the 600VA.
