Coincidentally, power went out for 4 hours last night (2 days after delivery).

    Ive used apc ups for a long time and when i needed to buy a new external battery pack after the original died after 6 years it was simple

    My only complaint is that 34officially34 the batteries in this unit are not 34user replaceable34 so it seemed a waste to buy a new unit outright instead of replacing the batteries inside


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I did open it and searched around and you can actually replace the batteries if you want to take the time to remove the screws unsnap the case replace the batteries try to snap the case back in place and replace the screws if you got the case back on correctly
