My APC - Back-UPS XS 1300VA Tower is replacing a more than 10 year old GeekSquad branded model. It has great features & more than enough backup power for my current needs.

Have bought two of these so far. One is used for my gaming and Internet setup and the other is being used on a saltwater reef aquarium. Highly recommended this brand.

The UPS functions perfectly as advertised, easy to setup and use. The problem I discovered was the batteries are inserted from the bottom side and the weight of them doesn't hold them in place. I ended up adding a spacer between the battery and cover to keep the batteries in place.
I would have returned it for a different product, but due to overseas travel I didn't have time to deal with it.

This battery is much more accessible than the prior ones I owned. It also has easily seen backlit buttons. Plus there are outlets for more components to be added.

My job requires the use of a laptop (on a cart) all day. I'm often unable to be near an electrical outlet. This device coupled with an extended life laptop battery allows me to work all day while only plugging in an hour or two (here and there) during the day.

great power supply and backup

This is a fantastic power supply and battery backup. We don't lose power too often at home, but when we do, it's not great for your desktop p.c. or other devices to be abruptly powered off. Likewise, fluctuations in power can strip year's off of your pc's power supply's life.This fits the bill and TWICE has worked as advertised with brownouts in our home. Well worth it if you have technology that you don't want damaged or ruined because of fluctuating power.

great features, i like being able to hit the menu button and see input/output, battery level, current load, and minutes remaining on battery power. It has already kicked in during a few power outages when having thunderstorms and kept my computer and my music projects i had open running and protected, giving me more than enough time to save my work. being a musician, silence is a must and this unit is completely silent, except of course during a power outage when running on battery fans will kick on inside and you can hear them. would definitely recommend
