The first battery I received with the unit lasted nearly 2 years. However replacement batteries have been dying in months, the most recent one only two. I am changing brands, even though I purchased a spare backup battery.

This is the 2nd one of these I have purchased. They work great and are reliable.

The unit is very sturdy and looks nice on my desk. I've also installed the PowerChute software and connected the unit via USB to my computer, which has a nice dashboard that allows me to monitor the system and change the configuration. My only criticism of the unit is that it's a bit loud -- it makes a constant humming sound. You don't really notice it if you have other audio going on, but in a quiet room it's definitely noticeable.

I have customers with several of these backups and after trying other backups over the years, these are the ones that last the longest.

We use these on our company workstations. Very dependable and great battery life. Simple insurance against power failures and brownouts which we seem to have too frequently.

We buy APC products for their reliability. However they have changed from using right angle plug to straight plugs. Now I have more trouble with bad connections at the outlet than power failures because it is too easy to accidentally knock the plug out.

Once again, this product is just what I need! Replacing the old one was simple, and the fact that I could recycle the old one so easily was wonderful! Thank you!

This is a nice compact unit. I like having the outlets on the back of the unit. One of my UPS units has the outlets on the top and they get dusty. I will replace it with one of these when the battery fails.

I have used APC Back-UPS for over 10 years with various home computers. The batteries do need to be changed at some point around 3-4 years. APC is up front about this. My current Back-UPS CS 500 sits next to my Dell Inspiron quad PC, filters line problems, self-tests, powers after commercial power is removed, and even shuts down my PC gracefully via supplied USP cable according to the params that I set. A PC application lets you initiate a test, review the test log, review power levels and more. It's well worth the price to protect an expensive PC like the one I use.

Had and issue with run time with the first unit I recieved. Called APC service and within 10 min I had a tracking # and p/u tag for the old one. Received the replacement in 4 days. What can I say...APC backs up their back ups! I have found that this product does what it specs out to do! Only issue I have is that the cooling fan is a bit noisy, but the good thing it doesn't stay on for long.

This is my 5th APC UPS. The last one stopped working after 10 years of dependable service. Nothing to do but replace it with something I know I can depend on.
