    I purchased this APC unit (plus another one), because I have used their profucts for years, and they have been reliable. Before purchasing APC for the first time back in the 1990's, a friend told me about their connected equipment guarantee. I never thought I would need it, but back then, I had a power surge which fried my PC. APC paid to have the PC replaced. I've been sold on them ever since. Fortunately, I haven't had a power surge like that since.

    This is the 3rd APC backup of this type, They are compact, reliable, and have more battery+surge outlets than surge only (5 vs. 2). Highly recommended.

    I've been using APC Back-UPS for 30+ years, at home and work. This is a recent purchase for home office use. I bought the same 650VA 6.5 years ago, and yes never changed the battery. I'm in Florida, ligtening capital, and have never lost equipment. I will continue to shop and purchase APC when needed.

    APC always makes great products. This 650VA Battery Back-Up and Surge Protector is very good for relatively short intervals of power outages. For more plugs and longer lasting power, the 900VA version is also a good choice. Hard to go wrong with APC.

    A relatively compact UPS, this not only solved what I needed, but I bought a second one to accommodate all the connections I have (one computer, three backup drives, two printers, and two hubs). I've owned APC backup units before, and they always work well for battery backing of computer systems.

    I bought this before the blackouts in Texas from last winter blizzard and it performed really well. It was slim enough to fit into my Legrand On-Q enclosure and was able to keep my modem, router and 2 access points powered for over half an hour when I thought it would last just 5 minutes.

    The UBS works as expected, but it has this annoying beep when there's a power outage that cannot be silenced unless you keep pressing the power button on and off until power is restored.

    • Brand response from APCProductSupport
      Posted .

      The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as On Battery. During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS. Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

      If you need additional assistance, please let us know if you still need any additional assistance. Contact our Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-800-800-4272 or chat with us at APC by Schneider Electric. Thanks for your time today. Have a great day! APC

    Bought to power/protect network equipment and some audio equipment. Have installed several for similar uses around the house, so stuck with what I knew worked. Will typically keep low power devices going for an hours or two

    When the power "browns out" for a moment from lightning or some other anomaly this little unit keeps the juice flowing! Great for keeping your PC going under "regular use" aka web browsing, word processing, etc. But Not White Gaming. This is not intended for high power draw scenarios or use cases and if you try to use it on a PC, stereo, TV, console, etc. that is looking to pull a lot of power, it will not work. Used as intended however on a laptop, small TV/monitor, low power draw PC, etc., this works like a charm
