Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

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

Quality


It has a battery and will keep your electronics on after your power goes out, it can then safely save and shut down your computer.


This apc model delivers a maximum load of 600w for baking up electronics and also provides surge protection.


This thing has not failed me and keeps the voltage constant for my gaming pc.


I'd recommend disabling the alert noises because this thing is *incredibly* loud, and getting a power surge in the middle of th...  Read More

Price


Worth the extra $$ over a more basic unit i think.


Fairly priced and offers a generous warranty from a well-known company.

Shipping


So i went to the apc website to buy an official battery and it has been over a month and it still hasn’t shipped.

    And of course i was in the middle of embroidering a design and the power went out…my machine kept going and i was able to finish my project

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This happened three times and then i’d had enough

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Id recommend disabling the alert noises because this thing is incredibly loud and getting a power surge in the middle of the night for it to screech at you is not ideal
