Pros & Cons
Pros
Used to power workstation/gaming pc, and monitor. Uses 2 - 12 volt very common batteries for a 24 volt system. Has a handy mute button to keep it from spazzing out when it switches to battery mode. Works straight out of the box, recharges as it is sup... Read More
Unit works well to supply my one computer, wifi dsl modem, and a home stereo remote amplifier during an outage. Been through multiple power outages in the 3 years and hasn't failed me yet. Half the plugs arent battery powered but are surge protected.
Tripp lites are solid, rugged, reliable, and easy to replace.
Cons
Not working. But everytime i have a power cut my computer shut down and the battery show an error message (and yes they are plugged on the black battery powered outlets) i have 3 of these and at least 2 of them have this problem (each one is on a sepa... Read More

Better than apc and cyberpower options in the same price range.
With other brands the battery can never get ahead.

The power surge had killed two of my external backup hard drive systems power supply on my desk top and my multifunction printer so i had chosen tripp lite smart1500lcdt for better protection delivery was quick however the outside box was big and with little insulation to prevent the unit from shifting around but fortunately the original packaging was sufficient to protect the unit
