In Battery Backup (UPS)

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

Great backup system. Already had one of these and purchased this for a second PC.

Being located in a remote National Park we get surges from lightning storms and fluctuation also in power drops, because the 70 mile above ground phone line is affected by wind etc . I would highly recommend this unit as it seems to even out the all of these fluctuations.

Easy to install, simple to run, useful lcd interface, does exactly what it claims to.

- Arrived well-before suggested delivery date. - Well-packaged to prevent any damage. - Set-up was easy with minimal, but very good instructions. - It has been in use for almost two weeks, and there have been no electrical incidents where the backup needed to turn on, so . . . will need to wait to comment on reliability. - Connected to the Back-UPS 1500 are an iMac with two ext HDD's, a Mac mini M2 Pro w/ 4TB of SSD, a studio monitor, and an OWC mini stack STX with a 4 TB HDD and 4 TB of SSD.

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

These units are rock solid! I run my computers 24x7. I am out in the country and we have a lot of power problems. Not one time have they failed to ride through and give me enough time for an orderly shutdown when it was needed needed. (Update 10/8/2018) One unit has failed, out of warranty. The other is still going strong after 4+ years

Never switched to battery unnecessarily. Never lost power and lost pc.

Charged battery and it works great. Have the essentials plugged in for those brownouts and power bumps. Makes life easier when you don't have to restart computers, modems and routers.

-web interface for management -email alerts -can do both web interface and USB for safe shutdown of computers or NAS

Let me start by saying I have an APC Smart-Ups 750 from 2004 that to this day is STILL running like a champ. I've replaced the batteries about 4 times in that time frame. This model looks, feels, and smells just like the old with a more modern front panel and cloud service port. It feels just as well constructed and in almost every way functions the same. The updated display lets you change certain settings and displays the current load and charge. The SmartConnect network port is a fantastic addition to this device. It connects to the APC SmartConnect cloud service and monitors your UPS at a simple and basic level. If it's online or on battery, estimated runtime, charge, temperature, firmware version, input/output voltage, load, when you should replace the battery, warranty date, and an event log. It will send you an email with the alert level you would like as well. This is REALLY nice feature out of the box without needing to add a management card, which they can get pretty expensive.

Informs user how much time the UPS could supply power should a power outage occur. Sine wave output to assure proper operation of all equipment and peripherals. Cost effective for what it does.

lets say it was nearly 100% plug and play its grate for things like cable/dsl modems cordless phones as well. also a grate add on for a basic desktop to keep it safe and sound

Looks and functions very nice. Software very easy to install, and works with vista 64..20 inch monitor and high end rig gives me about 21 minutes under load and 31 minutes at idle..Newegg shipped this to me in a box, not in it's own box..Not sure if it makes a difference where it was shipped from, but this was shipped from Jersey.

Great UPS. Huge advantage is having many outlets for the battery backup. Has been powering a router, modem, and POE switch with no problems. Survived 2 power outages and worked excellently!

I have the older APC SMC1500 and it has improvements. I like that this has more time when power is shut off. The APC SMT1500 C can handle heavier loads and the menu status screen is better even though it still has the same size screen.
