    Purchased it to replace a 450VA, but did not handle my PC which pulls as much as 500 to 550 watts (shuts down as soon as starting up PC), although an older 450 model does handle the same PC for days without shutting down. Ended up buying a 1500VA model to replace the 450VA and that has worked perfectly. This 650VA I left on the side to charge a router and cellphone.

    Don't. Unless you're plugging this into just a television or a cablebox, buy something else. Despite it being a fairly standard feature on even their tiny ES350 models, this unit has NO USB MONITORING PORT. It is *just* a dumb battery with no way to tell your equipment that it's time to power down.

    NOT for protecting a Computer or NAS.

    Although this APC power supply works fine as designed, I can't recommend it for protecting a computer, and I returned it. The labeling on the box is poor, and you don't realize until you open it that the battery is really not replaceable, and even worse it has no USB port to connect to a computer. Thus, it has no way of communicating with a computer and telling it when it needs to shut down. This makes it useless for protecting a PC. Maybe fine for other non PC devices, but don't buy for your PC or NAS.

    • Brand response from APCProductSupport
      Posted .

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about our unit. You are correct that the UPS doesn't have the data port on to connect your PC to trigger a graceful shutdown. The battery is however replaceable now. We have made a kit that will allow you to replace the internal battery on it. The part number is APCRBCV211. In regards to not having the PC port on it, I recommend checking out our BackUPS Pro line since it has more options for graceful shutdown. APC
