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

    Battery operated for 2 months, then went to run on battery power when there was no outage and into permanent FO2 mode where alarm won't stop. Best Buy past return period, their service department was NOT helpful. Called APC support and they WERE very helpful. Sending a replacment battery. Assuming new battery works longer term, I will update the review.

    Still Haven't Fixed the Chirping

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

    This UPS gives off a low chirping sound every few seconds. I saw a response from APC claiming that it was a known issue and they had fixed it. My unit still has that. I contacted customer support, but got no help whatsoever. I was given a set of steps to do a self test. I realize that the CS reps have to follow a script, but if this is a known issue, do I really need to do these irrelevant steps? After doing the self test and getting a result saying everything is fine, the CS rep responded, "I am glad I have been able to resolve your issue ..." This issue has not been resolved and now I get no response from APC. I have many APC units now, but I can't see buying more.

    I bought this new, installed battery properly, and only charged its battery full once. A few months later, when a bad storm came and shut off the power, I turned it on. Battery was dead even though I've never used it. The machine would not charge the battery even though it was plugged in for hours. I disassembled it to see if anything on the circuit board was burnt; everything inside looked fine. I know the battery couldn't have been dead. I used wires to connect the positive with the negative terminals and got a spark, so the battery had electricity. At least I got a battery I can use for later.
