I was very pleased with the assistance and the product knowledge when I had to replace my old APC unit. The transformer failed. I was surprised when discovered the new unit only has a single battery!

As someone who deals with regular power interruptions, I’m glad I grabbed this to protect my 30th anniversary PS5. It should allow enough power to run your PS5 and TV for around 8 minutes. This is just enough time to close the game and shut the console down properly. Only concern I had is connecting the positive terminal on the battery. There doesn’t appear to be enough cord to properly pull the battery out to connect the positive terminal which is required out of the box. When you push the battery back in to the unit, it’s seems to be in a bind.

This product is worth the extra money. APC has nailed down how to make a reliable UPS and how to support their customers when there is an issue. I have not had any trouble with my purchase. It was easy to install and just works. I highly recommend this product.

Within a couple weeks of purchasing this backup a major storm knocked out power and the backup kept my workstation pc running plenty Lon enough for me to shut things down safely and power down the computer. I found after the fact that there is a little counter on the front and it had registered a number of instances where the battery kept everything smooth. I feel so much more at ease having my entire work station run through this. I need to figure out / get the auto shutdown features set to catch anything if I am away for a period of time. The specific battery I got isn’t large enough to run the computer and monitor for long but it’s long enough when under load to allow me to safely stop without feeling rushed in any regard. I’m looking into getting more of these for different elements of my home

So far, so good. We'll see how it does after the first storm or power outage (of which this location has plenty). Just trying to protect an ATM that I have on-site. The APC was easy to set up and it is providing me some extra confidence to protect my electronic assets.

Great protection for my new ps5 and 50 inch tv. Uses about 340-370 watts when playing online games at most, 600watts is the max capacity for electronics to be hooked up to it. Product is great for the price!

This is a great tool especially if you have a standby power source. In the event you have electrical issue, you don't have to miss a beat. I use it for my modem and router. It provides surge protection as well as uninterrupted AC power. The display indicates the status of the device and the amount of time available for powering your devices.

I purchased this just in time! My previous non-APC UPS died, and I purchased the APC Back-UPS Pro 1050VA because we live in an area with a lot of electric fluctuations and thunderstorms. Three days after installing my new APC UPS, my property took a lightning, which fried several unprotected electronics in the house. Everything plugged into the APC survived and continued working without a hiccup. I'm so glad I bought it!

The battery connection

Only a couple of weeks since my purchase, but all is well so far. I've owned APC voltage regulators before and have found them satisfactory. I'm giving it a 4* instead of a 5*, because the battery connections are inane ... I had to take pictures and send them to my AI program which then made a detailed image showing how to connect. Apparentlly there are two or more versions of battery connections for the product ... perhaps you'll get the other one.
