    Battery Backup

    Even though I returned this battery back up, it wasn’t due to any bad experience! I open the box and it was way bigger than I had anticipated. My house is not that big and where I was going to need to put it it would not have worked for me. It appears to be a very nice unit and had I hooked it up. I’m sure I would’ve been totally satisfied with it. Instead of ordering online, I will probably go into the store and look at other smaller options.

    thought the unit was defective due to it shutting off upon power loss. after calls to apc found out that this unit is only rated for 900 watts. 5080 video card plus 2 monitors and other accessories all added up to obe more than it can handle.

    I have used Uninterruptible Power Supplies for many years. When one of the older ones failed I replaced it with the APC 1500 VA backup system. Ironically a couple of weeks later we had a power outage lasting over an hour. The UPS immediately took over and kept my electronics from crashing in the middle of anything. The device gave me ample time to make an orderly shutdown of my main computer as well continuing to support smaller devices. I am fully satisfied.

    Purchased this to replace an older APC unit which threw a fault during a power failure. Unit sits behind my entertainment center and covers nearly all my units, It provides battery backup for a TiVo, PS4, Ethernet switch and router, and surge protection for the 65" TV, receiver and other units. Hope to get at least 5 years of service out of this before it throws a relay fault like the previous unit did.

    Nice little UPS

    All the niceties are here. Plug layout in the back is such that you will be able to fit all your plugs, even those with large box attachments. USB connects on the front are extremely convenient if you place the unit in an accessible place. For those that are inclined, being able to see the power pull from your equipment and then visually see how much available time if you turn off certain pieces( monitors, speakers, peripherals ) you can get out of the batteries. But when all is said and done it's a functional UPS that does what it is supposed and will be ignored 98% of the time...... Which is as it should be. :)

    This battery back up pack works excellent. It came in very handy when the storms came through and allowed time for a complete shutdown before losing any work.

    Unlike the older model I had, this can handle an FTW3 RTX 3080 TI at full power and won't give an overload error beep. It also has more outlets which finally allowed me to plug both my studio speakers allong with everything else I had. Really happy with it.

    A tech friend of mine told me about APC. So I bought a surge protector / battery backup for my PC, which at the time I didn't really know I needed. That was many years ago. The battery went dead, and I upgraded to this monster!! I'm sure many people don't understand how many times the electric in their homes have surges. Buy this!!

    This ensures that my computers will be safe from the surge. We use this at work (enterprise edition) and keeps our server running despite of power outage. Very quiet

    In my neighborhood, we have issues with electric going off and on. I don't have the money to buy a generator but I still work from home a few days during the week. I have bought multiple UPS so I don't drained them quickly. It is great to be able to work even if the power is off. They work so great that I have one for my tv and cable.

    It gets the job done just like my last outdated APC unit. I enjoy the fact that I feel safe when the power surges or goes out all together. I have plenty of time to shut down after the fact and unplug. I can keep working for a while after a power outage but I choose to shut down in order to stretch out the battery life. Great item to own for my new PC!

    Outstanding design -- I have been using APCs for years and this is my favorite. I use it to keep my work computer, monitors and cable modem up and running even if the power blips. I have like 4 of these in my house for various "mission critical" uses.

    Our power goes out on a regular basis, 2 to 4 times a week only for a minute or so each time. This has saved me many times while working on my computer and have not lost my data. I have added one to my other system as well.

    I had to wait for our first blackout before i could give a proper review and now I'm ready. Recently we had a power outage and the APC worked just fine. The lights flicked off and the counter on the APC did a countdown and beeped to let us know it was working. When the power came back it recharged. That's what we wanted, that's what we got and the cost was reasonable.
