    Overall a good back for the price. Only reason why I give it 4 stars is reliability. The last one I had did not hold a charge after a couple years. I noticed that when I had a power outage, the alarm would go after a couple minutes. Hopefully that was just a one-off.

    Compact well designed UPS

    The APC. Back-UPS model# BVN650M1 650W UPS HAS 7 outlets and 1USB A charging port. 5 of the outlets are surge protected and battery, 2 are surge protected only. The layout of the 5 battery protected outlets allow 2 transformers without interfering with the other 3 outlets. You can easily plug your router, modem computer and phone to protect them from electrical surge and keep you up and running during an electrical interruption. Higher power printers will decrease your backup time but inkjet and low power laser printer can also be used. I confirmed immediate backup power by pulling the wall power, everything kept on running without a hitch switching to backup immediately. This unit has a unique feature allowing you to adjust sensitivity to voltage fluctuations for battery backup to kick in. If you have sensitive mission critical devices this is a great feature to have. The USB A charging port is also a great addition allowing you to run or charge USB devices during a power outage. I like the vertical design with the plugs on top takes up less floor or desk space. If you need a UPS for you home or small office this is a great choice.

    I purchased four of the APC backup batteries had to return (3) Cybor Power 450 twice because it stopped working after two days. The UPS650 are working fine. I can only hope that they will work if there's a Utility failure.

    works well; however, has a 4-5 year battery life. Battery replacement is hard to find and had to purchase whole unit to replace old one.

    Worked well out of the box. No problems to report. Would have liked a bit more space between outlets to accommodate wider plugins but, other than that, no issues. Would purchase again.

    Like the last one I bought, still causes the building wiring fault light to come on in random outlets around the house with no discernable pattern, but the battery charges and provides power when I tested it so not a complete loss unlike the last unit.
