    We were sold this as a must have to protect your computer. Not sure if it was worth the money as could have gotten a surge protector for much less.

    I bought a similar unit a year and a half ago and it looked to be the same model except it looked like it might be a newer version from the APC-Backup-UPS 600VA 7 outlet backup and surge protector that I had. The 600VA 7 outlet I have also has the Powerchute software and cable that plugs into the PC that monitors and shuts down the PC. My 600VA unit also has a runtime of about (it tells me) 40 minutes with the full load computer and monitor running. Thus, I don't have to worry about being home if the power goes out for the system to shut down by itself. I know this because it's already proven itself while I was on a trip. I leave the computer on so I can remote into it for important documents when I’m away. 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.

    This product by APC is my preferred device to protect desktop computers and TV's from Power Surges and/or Power outages. You can't stop power outages, but you can keep devices powered on until you can properly shut them down. As an IT Business, this product is standard deployment for Computers, Router, Internet Providers and even Televisions. APC Brand is my favorite from out of the box to connect its battery and connect your device(s).
