    This is my second purchase of this model. I use them to hold up my wifi and phone system. Where I live it seems the power glitches if somebody shivers. This carries me through the glitches and will keep my system running for awhile darning an outage. From time to time I'll hook it up to my computer to see what state it is in. I wish batteries were a bit cheaper but, you only need to replace them years later. Don't go cheap on batteries. I did that once at the new battery didn't even last 3 years. The old battery had lasted 5.

    You can’t go wrong with Apc Ups. I have one in almost every room and have been replacing the unit or the batteries many years later after they quit and I haven’t had a single electronic fail in almost 2 decades. These are especially great for battery backup for your router and modem nowadays so that a little power flicker won’t have you waiting minutes for everything to reconnect.

    Our callbox can’t work without internet. If the internet is down homeowners ar unable to open gates and let guest in. I got tired of going to gate to reset the modem so I bought this UPS. Well it worked great! We Had a lightning storm that caused a power blip. The modem came right back on and the gates and cameras were back up and running. Recommend this highly

    Backup Battery Does Its Thing Well

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was the best backup battery for the price. I needed one with a bunch of outlets, and which didn't cost over $100. I work at a non-profit retail shop, and the computer is crucial, although we aren't running programs that use a lot of "juice", so this backup is perfect. We haven't had a power outage since I bought it, so I suppose this review is premature, but we've had other backup batteries just like this and they were just fine.

    This thing has saved me so many times! I have power surgers all the time. Prior to getting this i would lose all of my unsaved work. Now it has enough battery that I can save my work and shut down or I cna just keep working through the lose of power if it is short lived. It has already paid for itself in the time it has saved me!

    The same day I got my upgraded Windows 11 computer hooked up and running, my 3 year old APC UPS died; typical life span for these units. The new one is a step up from the old one, providing more battery run capacity. Pros: number of outlets and reliable APC build and performance. Cons: non-replaceable battery and limited recycling options. Best Buy sells these, but doesn't accept them for recycling. 4 stars reflect cons.

    Easy to set up. Instructions were clear. It wasn't heavy and doesn't make noises like the ones we have at the office. Perfect to backup the modem/router and should last through all the recent short power outages we've been experiencing. Frustrating to have to reboot everything twice in 1 hour for the short 15sec outages.

    I love the design of this. I had the traditional flat ones that are semi bulcky. I like this because there are two spaced power ports, 2 are surge only (to prevent a heavy drawing power item from overloading the system) and the one USB port. I use this in the garage with some technical equipment and has worked well since. At the time, there were no reviews, but APC is generally reliable. I think there is one with 2 usb ports, but regardless; this one is fine. It's slim and the power cord is a decent length.

    It does what it says on the box. This model does not have a USB data port for a computer to communicate with it. It has a USB charging port for mobile devices. Also the internal battery is not user-replaceable, so after 3-5 years you just send this one to recycle and get another. The 650VA capacity is enough for a flat-screen TV and cable box, or a couple of computers, or various other small electronic devices. Be sure to check the labels on your equipment and don't connect more than this unit can handle.
