Did not last a year
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have lost power a couple times since I've had this back up and each time it worked like a charm. I lost power briefly today and the battery backup did not kick on. It continued to screech with a high pitched tone till I reset it. I have only had for 10 months and this is unacceptable. Will not use this brand again. I had much better luck with the competitor brand.

Battery Backup Surge Protector
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Item does not work for what I bought it for. Our electric went out and the modem on my computer shut down. I work from home and need the system to stay up. At least long enough for me to save work and close out correctly.

I would recommend this to a friendFailed after 18 months and ruined my data
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Failed after 18 months: Instead of protecting my system, it failed and corrupted the database of my home automation system by abruptly cutting off power, signaled by a continuous beep alert during the failure.

Posted .Hello Evan, the constant tone coming from the UPS indicates the UPS was overloaded and shut down power to the connected equipment. This happens when to much wattage is being drawn from the UPS. We recommend moving a device to the surge only side to not continue to overload the UPS. Please contact our technical support if you have any questions or concerns regarding the product at 1.877.297.6937 and dial 1 for technical support.

Poor operation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this battery backup system to keep my modem in operation during a power outage and it only keeps power on for about 8 minutes. The first one died after a couple of weeks of operation and the replacement is almost worthless.

I would recommend this to a friendCyberPower battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this product for less then 1 month when it quit communicating with my compute. This is the 2nd Cyberpower battery I have tried and in both cases it works for a very short period and then quits communicating. This leaves me with an expensive surge board and no back up battery.
