Ordered the battery at 16:10 and it was ready for pick up at 9:00 at their Richmond BC warehouse the next day. Wasn't expecting it so fast! Been using these APC OEM batteries for years now. I generally get ~ 4yrs of life from them. Hopefully this one will be the same or better. I like the online prepaid label to return the old battery for recycling. Easy to install.
Arrived with charged battery Easy setup, worked the first time and went through some self tests. Replacement batteries easily available at a variety of price points Arrived with 66 item testing checklist showing the 66 tests that this particular copy passed during inspection. Has various network connection options for enterprise use and remote operation by your IT dude or dudette. Huge list of features and functions - they really thought of everything - read the features list.
Easy to view screen is very helpful.
Easy to set up, compatible with linux. The mfgr-supplied linux app works fine. Will run a fully loaded quad-core system and monitor for 5-10 minutes, less power-hungry machines for 30-60 minutes, easily long enough for an orderly shutdown. The units are attractive and surprisingly compact. I purchased three to protect some linux servers and workstations.
The SMC1000C model (600w) may be sufficient for most gaming PC's. Mine is overclocked and uses more power than most so I opted for the SMC1500C (900w) model.
Very good for protection for an entire professional office, with bad power and brown outs, this unit really saves us a lot of time and frustration
-Front panel screen with info that you can cycle with one of the buttons is very handy. -Connect it to you PC and install the software for more info. You can also have it do certain things when the power goes out and how much of a wait before it acts... Basically it integrates with Windows power saving functions, the sleep time, screen off and hibernation... That sort of thing. Also shows you your power consumption and how much money it's costing to run what is connected. -Handles my Gaming PC and G-SYNC monitor for about 6-8 minutes. i7 6700k @ 5.0GHZ, ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA, ASUS ROG STYRIX GTX 1080 TI Overclocked heavily, 32GB DDR4 @3200MHz, Coolermaster 360mm AIO with ARGB fans and pump head. 7 fans, 3 120mm REVEEN (yellow fin ones), 3 ARGB and controller 120mm Coolermaster on the AIO, the AIO pump, 5 HDDs - 3 Adata SU800 512GB in RAID 5, 2 - 2TB Seagate HDD 7200 rpm. Lots of external USB devices.
Good features mix and capacity for price. Automatically detected and configured by modern Linux distributions. Surge suppression for both ethernet and coax cable. The power monitoring / off feature for some of the outlets is handy if you have a use case for it. Several of the UPS features are configurable via the front panel.
Has a wealth of information on the display. I always have my display set to minutes remaining. My computer, 5.1 speakers and two monitors are connected to it and the total battery time says about 15 minutes. My computer is an LGA 1151 based with an Antec 750 Gold and a GTX 1050TI.
Fit right into the UPS system without having to power the network servers down. Hot swappable.
I replaced the battery in one of my several APC UPS units. This particular unit is several years old (5+). It has been my experience that APC replacement batteries last longer than others brands.
Designed by some one with a brain! Good outlet formation, easy to use, easy to set up. straight forward, price.
All metal, well built, outlets are good quality. Newegg specs show clamping voltage of 330V, CyberPower website shows clamping voltage to be 400V. It would be good if CyberPower would show EMI/RFI Noise Filter attenuation specs as other manufactures of similar equipment show.
Room for everything, usb ports are great
Great price on 300 Watt 1 RU unit. I have 6, all work well.
- LCD informational screen - USB charging port - Nice, low profile design
Don't own one yet, so I can't say completely, but I have been favoring the CyberPower Smart App line for our servers and networking UPS's. They have the right options at the right prices.
Great product. Seamless switch to battery. Quality of APC for homeowners needing low watt demand. DO IT its worth it!!!! *** I have more UPCs in a commercial environment than I know what to do with.......this is in my personal residence, I know what a good UPC is.
