    Works great. Easy to setup. I forgot to connect the battery when I got it so I freaked out a bit when I plugged it in and it started beeping and alarming.

    So far so good. Excellent, smaller replacement for an earlier series. This time battery connection is easy (just an on-unit plug-in to complete the connection) and the unit seems most efficient. No power surges yet, but I'm sure my equipment (TV, etc. in living room, desktop in bf) is well protected. I bought a second one right away.

    When there is a power interruption, the device starts beeping and does not stop untio you press and hold the on button. This requires me to get under my desk to press the button. Not acceptable to me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I have bought several of APC 650 over the last few months. It keeps my desktop, cable router, and cable box on during minor brown out and black out. My current PC can run about 15 minutes on backup power; plenty of time to save and shutdown. I also own an APC 1250 VA, that one is for the heavy 850 watts PC. In summary, I have been using APC since 1996. It is a good brand for backup power.
