Great Little, Simple UPS

Got this to keep a computer and copier powered up during short blackouts and brownouts that have become more and more frequent. The size and the price made it optimal and it works as expected. There's no flickering or dimming of the machines and we don't have to wait minutes for reboots/restarts.
I didn't buy it expecting long term power as that's not what a 650VA UPS is designed to do.
But if you need a simple, low power UPS to eliminate power flickers and brownouts with very little set up or configuration, then this one will work excellently.

I purchased this APC Back UPS along with my new LG OLED TV. I currently have a DirecTV satellite receiver and have grown very tired of how long it takes to recover from a power flicker or outage. This will remedy that issue. Should have purchased one for this receiver long ago. Currently have 2 others that I use for power recliners.

Works good. Its one of the inexpensive basic models but it does the job. Used it for my modem, router, alarm and security camera just in case the power goes out. It worked the last outage (about 15 min). Only complaint is that the outlet are too close together so if you have big boxy plugs you will not be able to maximize all the outlets. I did get this on sale and recommended since it was much cheaper than the others. But if you have a nice computer, I would recommend a better model with more battery run time. Especially if you need to run the computer when theres a power outage.

I bought this battery backup for air quality monitors and cameras at our cabin to keep an eye on winter temperatures and security when the power goes out. I highly recommend this unit for functionality and low cost.

A necessity to protect electronics and data

A UPS is necessary to protect electronics from power surges and losing data during a power outage or brownout while you are working. It gives you time to save data and back out of the programs you are using.
Hook it to your TV and you can continue to watch until the battery runs out of juice.
I've used APC products for over 25 years at home and my office without problems. They saved me several times at my office when electrical storms or a squirrel got fried in local substation and caused power outages.

I have several of these smaller UPS. I only trust APC. These models are great for keeping a TV protected or a wifi modem/router protected...even a PC. I wish the battery was easily replaceable, since once it dies you must discard it.

Well not unlimited per say but 650VA is still pretty good. Popped a few of these throughout the house and they've never let me down. Multiple outlets for plugging in my electronics and they've always kept me up and running for enough time to power down my computer or enjoy the rest of my show if the power goes out. Picked it up on a sale too so you really can't go wrong if you're in the market and catch it at a good price.

Small UPS, ideal as backup power modem/router

We wanted separate UPS back-up for the fiber optic signal converter, internet gateway and router from the UPS for our computer, monitor and VOIP phone. Previous short power interuptions, would cause the signal converter to go down even though the rest were still fine - still internet goes down when any single component fails. Last week we had 4 or 5 short power interuptions in a 10 minute span. With the new setup our internet stayed rock solid!

It is being used for a battery backup for two lift chairs for my elderly parents. They are afraid of being sick if the power goes off. I have one for my wife. She uses it for our computer and our WiFi internet connection with the printer also.

Weʻve been having 1 - 5 minute blackouts in our district lately and so I was looking for the simplest option to keep both my NAS and my computer running just long enough to safely power down. These units work well. Easy setup. Good price point
