B. T.:
When plugged in and turned on (no load, brand new tested battery), the device would flash green for about 10 seconds then "click" as if shutting itself off, then emit a loud continuous alarm tone until silenced. The outlets did not work after the "click." I could not find this condition described anywhere in their online literature, so I called tech support.
Here is what I learned about my device that was 3.1 years old: Warranty is 3 years. They want all your personal info before they'll even talk to you, including your home address, email, and phone number. They will talk to you about an out-of-warranty device...if you pay them $24 for the privilege. Don't want to shell out $24? They email you a link to their useless FAQ page a nd make a bunch of empty statements about how much they care. All I wanted to know was what the signal I was getting indicated, and they wouldn't tell me or didn't know. How aggravating.
Next time I buy a UPS, which is about once a year, I'll be going with a different brand. These are junk and the tech support is horrible. Next step for me is to take out the battery and dump it in the trash can. What a waste.

Easy to use
Works well.
We have frequent power drops...sometimes weekly. This device has maintained my internet connection- and in the event the outage is longer than a few minutes provides continuous connection until the generator kicks in.

Bought this 5 months ago and it's still working like a charm. Had a little bit of trouble with the plugs at first (the metal leads seem to be slightly misaligned with the holes in the plastic) but with a little wiggling everything plugged in alright. Now it's running our TV, PS4, Router, Modem, some backup LEDs for lighting and a Raspberry Pi for power notifications over Slack.
We've had about 5 outages since then combined with many more small intermittent voltage drops (the kind that last just long enough to reset the clock on your stove or reboot your pc), and I'm *so* glad I got this. It lasts about 2-3 hours with just modem+router+lights, which is perfect for my use-case. Combined with a laptop you can work from home completely uninterrupted through a power outage. Love it, would 100% recommend.

I did have a scare today when it seemed to stop working (a year after purchase and constant use), but I contacted their support and they had me disconnect the battery, hold the power button to discharge anything left in the unit, then reconnect the battery. And it started working again just fine. There was no bad weather or anything. I was simply rebooting my PC when the UPS unit decided to stop working. It had a blinking green light and one continuous long beep when you tried to start the PC.
It still has a 3 year warranty. I will try to remember to update this review when it finally dies.

Es un gran producto, cuando no existe corriente eléctrica alimentando al UPS, no existe un beep escandaloso todo el tiempo, únicamente se escucha cuando le queda un minuto de batería. Además, tiene una buena duración de respaldo.

Pros :
1. Powerful, keeps PC on a good long time durning power outage. Powered Monitor, PC & network router, no problems.
2. Multifunction. Two USB power ports. I use 1 for a USB LED Lamp ! :-) and the second one charges my phone & iPad.
3. Upright. Fits nicely beside tables or under a desk. The upright shape makes it easier to plug in power adapters and keeps it out of the way of your feet.
4. Reliable. Stopped several little brown outs from disrupting my PC. Thank you APC !
5. Beeps: if power goes out & you didn't notice it... it beeps. Protecting your stuff.
CONS : none. Great UPS for the price.
Some Larger APC power supplies have an LED Display showing minutes remaining, but they cost a little more.
With spring & summer time rain storms, APC UPS has always been a real life saver. One bad storm ZAPPED my neighbors HDTV & PC, he had to buy all new electronics !
But my electronics are A.O.K. thanks to APC.
NOW he bought APC too.
Do the Smart thing and save your $$$ electronics from power problems.
You will be very happy you did.

The first thing you notice is that this unit is much lighter than similar APC (and also other brands) of UPS products.
The second thing you notice is that more of the plugs are battery-supported than before. It used to be that you had to make hard choices of which peripherals to select.
Since I’ve been running it, I haven’t had a real power outage, but I have had a few flickers of momentary loss, not enough to trigger the alarm, but I kept right on working without the computer or monitors even registering that anything happened.
Total: there are 9 plugs, 6 are connected to the battery and 3 are surge protectors. It also has two USB plugs for charging phones or whatever.
It’s difficult to try to figure out how long I can actually be on battery time on my system. I have my CPU (desktop) connected to battery, as well as two monitors and two external hard drives. I’ve never been able to go for more than 10 minutes in the past with my power-hungry computer. Still, that is long enough to save all work and power down safely, assuming I’m nearby.
Something to consider: After you power down, unplug your computer from the unit....

I have 2 PC work stations and a network switch plugged into the battery outlets. The battery backup time on the old unit was always adequate to shut everything down during a power outage. I will update the review after I have used the new backup for a while.
