    Don’t run any high end electronics without one of these. Worth the price to protect your equipment. I have a Corsair Vengeance i8100 and a LG 42C3 connected to mine to keep them from electrical over load or under load issues in my house.

    APC Battery Backup

    APC makes the best battery back ups. They make it straightforward in setting up and using their software to monitor and configure the battery backup. If you have a media server or a important system, highly suggest getting a battery backup that can automate shutting down your system safely without losing hardware or data in a power outage.

    Backup power is a must and this does the job so well it’s the second one I’ve bought. It’s powerful, compact and easy to access from front panel including SILENT MODE. Smart people wrote great techie reviews and they were on the money.

    This unit I got, to protect the data on my game systems. Not to keep playing when the power goes off, but if I happen to be playing when such a thing occurs, I am given the opportunity to safely power everything down, without having to destroy any of the memory devices connected. After not too long ago, of losing some equipment due to a power surge/loss, I can't recommend these types of devices enough (it doesn't necessarily have to be this brand, so far it's been good, but they pay for themselves).

    This is just what I need when the power goes out and I'm working from home. Very easy to set up and has enough power connections on the rear of the unit.

    I have a few of these and they have worked flawlessly during many power outages. They are not a solution for an extended outage, but quick power flickers and 10 to 15 minutes without power is where they really shine.

    I live in area where we have a lot of surges. One of my computers' motherboard was destroyed by multiple surges, so I was led to purchase this back-up battery and surge protector. I haven't had any problems and we have had power shortages twice since I purchased this item. It's definitely better to have something like this instead of replacing a motherboard or even a desktop.

    I needed a new back up when I added a second monitor and found my old battery back-up didn't have enough power to support everything. This unit did the trick. What they don't tell you is APC offers a rebate if you turn in your old unit to them BEFORE you buy a new unit. See their website! I have yet to figure out how to install the software that is supposed to shut down the computer for you when the power goes off. The instructions for that are lacking.

    I may have received a defective one. Many error codes, it would chirp loudly every time I ran the microwave, it is uncomfortablely heavy, the screen went black on day 10 and only acted as a passthrough. Returned it for a refund.

    Recently had a power surge during storms. These devices saved my equipment from being destroyed. Spoke with customer service at apc to troubleshoot. While they have a 3 year warranty, Mine was out of warranty. So I had to replace one that sacrificed itself for my computer and routers. Fair price to pay vers loosing all the electronics. Best Buy had on shelf and got network back up in less then hour.

    Spending the extra money on a battery backup is always worth it in the end. Within days, I had a lightning storm that took out my power, and the APC quickly jump into action when the power went out. I like that the higher-end APCs have PowerChute to shut down my machine after a set amount of minutes on battery power. Great purchase overall!
