The monitoring and customization that you can get for this thing is perfect. Maybe not the easiest to understand, but incredibly useful. Battery life is still disappointing, but that’s the nature of the beast. Used apc products for yrs.
Cons
Battery reads 4/5 bars. Support is terrible. Poor engineering. Apc used to make higher quality stuff, apparently they're just cheap designs now as well.
On their website they show the battery, but do not actually link to any resellers that may have it in stock. Amazon need a process in place to know they have old stock that will fail based on exceeding shelf life. Got the device, hooked up the battery... Read More
Highlights
Quality

The official apc battery for this model is not available on amazon so i bought a different brand and it turned out to be a dud despite showing a full charge it did not power the ups when the power went out

So if you purchase this unit keep in mind that when the battery needs to be replaced it is likely going to mean you need to buy a new ups because you may not be able to find a suitable battery replacement

When you receive it you need to plug in the battery yourself and unplug it if you need to ship it back so expect a spark when doing so

On a midend gaming pc this battery affords me about 25 minutes of time without power during light tasks and about 6 minutes if im running an intensive application or game
