    Love the thin profile

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

    Recently purchased 2 of these to replace older models that needed new batteries. The replacement batteries would have cost almost as much as buying new. The thinner profile works well and lighter weight means I can place it on my desk instead of under it. Plenty of outlets for my computer and accessories.Waiting for a power failure to see how long the battery power lasts.

      Thank you for taking time to provide feedback about the BN650M1. The UPS is usually connected to a computer to provide enough runtime in a power outage for you to shut down the system. You can also connect the USB cable to the UPS to the computer to have an automatic graceful shutdown. If you are still having issues with the UPS or need further assistance with it please do not hesitate to reach out to one our support team.

    Unbearable High Pitch Noise

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

    The unit is emitting unbearable high pitch noise regardless of what load the UPS is put under, I'm shocked that this product passed quality control, I'm very disappointed and tired from the hours of cabling work that I had to do to accommodate for the UPS....all for nothing. With the high pitch sound I cannot focus and be productive, nor will I will be able to sleep in my room. I have submitted ticket #45103235 with APC, wonder what will they say.

    Affordable surge protection and good too!

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

    I've only had his surge protector for a little while, and even if it was mostly my wife who needed it (make sure jone of her work would get lost if there was an outage) it's really been useful to me too. Especially if I'm playing a game and an outage happens, I can definitely have time to save so none of my progress is lost. The battery back-up on this has definitely been a life savor for us, for both professional and entertainment purposes.

    Really needed for serges, due to rural living.

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

    I really needed for the serges, which are or happen to be really bad in the area I live. I live in a farming community. We have a tendency of having pretty bad power serges here. For the last few months I have had a problem of sitting and playing and all of a sudden my computer would just shut down and the alarm would sound like the power was out. Yesterday we had a lot of problems with power serges. and the backup is barely two years old. I hope I can get it replaced or at least the battery replaced. Really can't afford another computer or backup system.

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

    I bought this because I live in Florida and we are always having power surges and I have burned out at least 1 computer. I read reviews and went to the store to buy a different product, but this was one much better and not much more money. It was easy to set up. We haven't lost power since I purchased it so I haven't gotten a chance to really test it.

    Died unexpectedly on me 5 times already and every time it did a continuous beep. I wake up at 4am disoriented just because of the noise of this thing & the PC was not even on. I had to unplug the internal battery in order to make it stop. I can't have this thing destroying my computer & my sleep. I bought it to make sure My 1000+ dollars investment stay safe. But this thing is just failing and cutting power at any time. I am surprised my PC is not broken yet. I had a good impression of APC but is just another company selling junk after all, I suppose. I wish we could give it minus 5 start.
