Quality


Good form factor, lots of plugs and software works well.


I've had good luck with apc units in the past and will continue to buy them.


Despite the mighty size of this unit, it only provides 120v and 5ah of battery capacity at 20h discharge, or about 1/3 of that ...  Read More

Price


Network management card is pricey but totally worth it.


You can connect external batteries, which are about $700 for every 100 ah (smx120bp), which is actually not a bad deal.

Competitiveness


Compared to the apc units of yesteryear, this one charges in 2 1/2 hours seemingly from 0% to 100%, at least according to display.

    However this tells you nothing about its runtime


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Despite the mighty size of this unit it only provides 120v and 5ah of battery capacity at 20h discharge or about 13 of that if you load it up with 1000 watts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I get 40 minutes runtime on measured 500w light bulb with 18 months old battery which is to be expected of you look up the specsheet of the batteries


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can buy a replacement cartridge from apc or just the batteries aftermarket for a fraction


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However if you decide to buy batteries make sure that you buy a high discharge variety and not one for emergency lights bc otherwise your capacity will be even worse under load or the battery will die


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the tower configuration the batteries are at the bottom so that the unit sits stable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is very heavy though prob 70 lbs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also to note this unit is made in two form factors a deep 2ru unit smx3000rmlv2 and this shallow 4ru unit same for the battery extension
