Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great UPS to keep my internet connection up and running during blackouts as well as keep a constant power supply during brown outs and sags. Been using APC for many years and have never had an issue. Good stuff.

This is a great Back-UPS power supply it does work good I am happy with this buy. I love the front display and the alarm system to notify when power outage occur. Also the ease of replacing the battery, great design

This is an upgrade from my old APC - Back-UPS. It not only has more power, but it also has a Digital display & an icon on my Desktop that I can click on for info on my APC's status at anytime. I love this Back-UPS System.

Lightning took out my old Backups 650 (but not my computer equipment). It served me very well over 10 years and 1 battery replacement. This one has a bit more capacity and features and I like it a lot.

I may have went a little overkill but I needed this to keep a modem and router up and running when the power goes out. This will do just that for about 2 hours.

This UPS has worked very well. It was easy to set-up, and didn't require much beyond following the instructions. We have not experienced any issues with it, and are fully confident that we won't .

Purchased this item because my old UPS finally failed after many years of service. This unit is working fine. It probably has much more capacity than what I need but I liked the extra minutes of protection it offers.

Most of us take for granted the toll that power surges take on our sensitive equipment. A power surge or loss of power, while obviously doesn't damage sensitive electronics every time it occurs, can and sometimes does wreak havoc on computers and other electronic equipment (i.e. network attached storage). While battery backups can offer you the ability to power your electronic equipment during a power outage, I think it's better to describe their function as to allow you enough time to safely shut down your equipment (or if you're literally using it when the power goes out, save what you're working on). Bottom line is that battery powered surge protectors don't get as much thought and attention as they should. Other than the maintenance of swapping the battery out of the unit every few years, this device is dead simple to use and maintain. What’s included in the package is the “surge protector” unit, as well as a battery. Now, the battery is already in it, but it’s not connected. There’s plenty of stickers and warnings telling you to connect the battery before plugging it in. You simply slide the battery cover out, and connect the red loose wire to the battery (while it simply slides over the battery terminal, it is a snug fit, so make sure you get it secured). From there, you plug the device in. Now, note that of the 8 outlets, only 4 devices can be powered by the battery when the power goes out. So 4 outlets are powered by battery when the power goes out and the other 4 simply act like a traditional surge protector. There’s also an outlet for ethernet cables and coaxial cables. For me, I didn’t use the ethernet or coaxial surge protectors simply because I didn’t have the need. There weren’t any of those cables where I kept my desktop and desktop HDDs. So you simply decide what devices you want powered by battery should the power go out, and the other devices that you don’t need to power when the power goes out. And you plug them in. Other than that, there’s not much to do. There’s a display on the front of the device that lights up when you press one of the status buttons. The options are to turn the display on, and to silence the alarm (on battery power, it beeps 4 times every 30 seconds so you know you need to take action). And when the display is on, it measures the voltage going in. That’s it. Pretty simple to use. Now as far as longevity, all I can say is that this is a trusted brand. The device feels solid (if not downright heavy) and well built. So no complaints there. But be aware that once you invest in this device, you will have to replace the battery every 3 years or so. After a while, the battery just doesn’t retain its charge. The process of swapping batteries is dead simple (see paragraph above) but I don’t know how much replacement batteries cost. So unfortunately, there will be so called “maintenance costs” associated with this device. But it does offer some piece of mind for those not willing to take a chance in losing sensitive and or important data. I consider this an important piece of equipment in my home office, not necessarily to power me during an outage, but make sure I don’t lose any data (or damaged equipment).

Great UPS. Where I live we get frequent power outages. I have my modem and router plugged into this and it lasts a few hours just supplying power to those devices. It's nice to have the uninterrupted switch over.

Nothing worse than losing power while working on a computer or using the internet. I plugged my internet and computer into this back up device. I haven't lost power since but I know if I do this guy will do the job!

Nice to have this protection. Even lets us even know when there has been an incident. Have purchased two now for our office and internet protection.

The APC back up battery was purchased to provide protection for my computer. In our area we have occasional outages and I want to protect my computer when that happens. So far the item has met my needs.

This is a bit stronger than the less expensive ones available but if your using it on a daily basis for a desktop this is really the bare minimum. Lost a star due to not having the outlets spaced far enough to accommodate blocks. You lose too many outlet spaces.

Works great and is easy to see the display. It displays the input voltage all the time and the load value is easy to understand. This has definitely help my network to stay up when power fluctuates.

Nothing glamorous about these. Works well affordably. 1st day owned had big storm and lost power for 2 hours. Able to shut down tower and restart when power was restored just like it is supposed to do. Nice

Working from home and with the weather being as it is in Michigan, a UPS is a must. I’ve already had a handful of brownouts and lose of power. This UPS has saved my skin multiple times this pandemic year!!

Bought to replace one I bought at Best Buy a few years ago, bought Alienware desktop. Needed more powerful back up. Easy install, excellent website for status. First outage, worked like as promised.

I would highly recommend putting in a UPS on any sensitive electronics in hour home, they'll save you a lot of headache when you have brownouts and power outages and the APC's have always worked for me.

Unit works well, but takes a long time to charge the backup battery.

As usual, APC is tops for UPS devices! This is my third or fourth over the years and they always deliver when it’s needed!
