What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The unit is great for keeping the wifi and computer running when the power is out for short periods. Refilling the generator with gas or turning off the generator overnight would mean going back on battery power for the internet. The 60 watts is conne... Read More
Pc contains a 750w psu running a ryzen 3600 and a radeon rx 6600 xt. Also provides surge protection (supposedly) in the deal. Usb charger adds convenience.
I have to commend apc canada as the entire rma procedure took less than half-an-hour over chat. Works perfectly. Having the usb ports bedside is fantastic too!
Cons
It's like hiring a lifeguard who can't swim. Horribly disappointed.
This ups is not meant for modern consoles like the ps5 or xbox series x. Every month or so the power at my house drops for 3-4 seconds, and every time my computer shuts off instantly. The battery needs replacing.
After instalation of the software need to call support yet agin. Tried the resetting steps suggested by manufacturer, didn't work. Re-installing the software, restarting computer, i give up.

Decent little ups - had it for ~4.
After we had a brown-out at home, while i was in the middle of something important on my computer, i decided to get a ups.
Competitiveness
This is roughly per the manufacturer specs.
One downside is that the official battery replacement is, at the time of writing, only $30 cheaper than a new ups.
