Shut off on it's own on occasion

We bought 5 of these in the past few months and three occasionally shut off on their own and causes the computers they're connected to shut down.
I hate this new version and seems they've lowered the quality to increase profits. These are the last APC UPS we'll be getting. Our older ones are still running strong with just a battery changes.

The surge protector outlets are too close together. Need space between each outlet.

I never had a problem with an APC product but this one was difficult. Ever couple of days it would start flashing red and green when I started my system. I would have to turn it off and back on to get it to stop. Soon after every couple of days became every day so I had no choice but to replace it.

Thank you for taking the time to review our BN450M. Usually when the LED on the UPS flashing between green and red it means that the battery is disconnected. If you still have the UPS I would try making sure the battery connection is secure on the bottom of the UPS. You may want to try to pull the battery connection out and reinsert it. If this doesn't resolve the issue please do not hesitate to contact an APCbySchneider support team. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272 option 4.
