    Still Haven't Fixed the Chirping

    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.

We can also gather additional feedback on the first team who helped you that we can share as part of continuing coaching and development. APC

    UPS produces bad smells during battery operation

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

    Had this thing since Jan '22. Just had a power outage yesterday. While the system ran on backup power (just powering my internet router and mesh device) the unit produced some really bad smells during the ~2 hours it ran (like a burning/metallic/acid smell) that filled up my closed office room. I can't imagine that is normal since I've owned many other UPS and never experienced similar smells during operations. I wouldn't recommend this device, seems like a potential health/fire hazard. I'm replacing it with another brand.

    Disappointing and unusable – constant F02 Error

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

    I bought this APC UPS surge protector with battery backup a month ago, hoping for reliable power protection and backup, but it has been nothing but a disappointment. Every time when there is power outage(even for a few seconds), I get an F02 error, which makes it completely unusable. I’ve followed troubleshooting steps, but the problem persists. For a product that’s supposed to safeguard my devices and keep them running during power outages, this constant failure means it’s not fulfilling its primary purpose. Instead of peace of mind, I now have the headache of dealing with an unreliable UPS that shuts down unexpectedly. I expected better from a brand like APC, but sadly, this has been a waste of money and time. I cannot recommend this to anyone looking for dependable surge protection and power backup.
