||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.APC has been a reliable source of battery back-ups for as long as I can remember. Other brands may cost less, but I still go with APC if the customer has the budget.
I would recommend this to a friendSolid Battery Back-Up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a new back-up power supply in the office. I have purchased this 1 before and it does great as well as a slimmer profile to take less space up than previous models. Happened to order during black Friday week so ended up getting 2 for what 1 usually cost and we have an extra in office now.
I would recommend this to a friendGood in outage, but not in fluctuations.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only use it to backup the power supply of the internet router, It is good when the power is out, but when the voltage is fluctuating, it does not enter immediately unless the power is very low, by that time the router is already restarted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from APCProductSupport
Posted .Hello,
We do apologize about this inconvenience. We at APC by Schneider Electric value your feedback and would like to help you with this concern.
BN450MNW UPS is set to transfer to onbattery mode on such occasions as to :
1. Brown Out caused by power flickers
2. Black Out when utility power is out
3. Frequency Out Of Range
4 .Total Harmonic Distortion when input current is distorted from a sine wave
Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment Procedure
By default, this sensitivity setting is set to Medium which can handle Input Voltage Range from 92VAC to 139VAC. This can be adjusted since this Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to help protect connected equipment. In situations where either the BackUPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level, it is necessary
to adjust the transfer voltage.
To adjust voltage sensitivity:
1. Turn off the UPS while connected to a wall outlet.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds. The POWER button will illuminate green and red alternately to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.
3. The POWER button will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish. Program mode is no longer active.
LED: Green means Low Setting = 88VAC to 142 VAC
Use this setting with equipment that is less sensitive to fluctuations in voltage or waveform distortions.
LED: Red means Medium Setting = 92 Vac to 139 Vac
Factory default setting. Use this setting under normal conditions.
LED: Amber means High Setting = 96 Vac to 136 Vac
Use this setting when connected equipment is sensitive to voltage and waveform fluctuations.

Works as intended and trustworthy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has served as a replacement to my previous APC Back-UPS older white one for network devices and has so far worked as intended with no issues. I am glad this version has better alarm settings.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this in a nonconventional way. I use it with a power inverter in my vehicle for work to power my laptop without interruptions. My vehicle often cycles to a lower voltage and causes my inverter to power off temporarily which would interrupt what I use it for. This solves all my issues!
