Price
Hard to get excited about it but that's what you are paying about £90 for.
These things used to cost several hundred pounds.
But for £80 its not a bad buy imho
At £84 i thought this was good value for an established brand.
Shipping
The item is shipped with the battery deliberately disconnected.
My ups died after nearly 12 years of continuous non-stop service, not missing a heartbeat in brown-outs and power cuts!
After contacting apc, and going through troubleshooting, they set up an rma, and shipped a replacement.
A minute after that, the nas sends a signal to the ups to switch off, which it does.
Competitiveness
For other devices that use far less power like a router or smart tv these ups devices can run them for hours!

So the power should come back on before the battery runs out or after 45mins you can choose to power off the devices safely but manually
