A lifesaver for outages
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a lifesaver especially during the summer when everyone is blasting their fans and air conditioners and risking outages. I’ve had my power go out multiple times in a span of a week and I had enough time to save everything I needed to. The size also helps as my small apartment is already pretty cramped.

Do not buy! Non-replaceable battery!
I think that this unit is a decent replacement for my BE670M1, which is now several years old. I'm highly disappointed that it has a non-replaceable battery (at least for the user). Why would you design a unit that adds to the e-waste problem? I'm not going to spend the $ to return this to APC for recycling, plus spend an inflated amount just to get a new battery.

Amazing choice for back - up power!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When unboxing you notice the durability of this. Well made and good weight to it but also very portable! I've been able to use it with many different items and seems to be compatible with most plugs. It has definitely made losing power not so stressful due to its 10 hr battery back up!

Works well and reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the performance and size of it, not too big. Very easy to set up and I have used it in a power outage and it works great! It's compatible with all my plugs so that's a plus. Good for the price but still expensive for me.

Missing a visual Guage showing remaining power.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backup system is a little small for anything that might be really critical, so maintain power on as we had an outage that lasted about 3 ½ hours. It worked until it ran out of power, but I think my biggest complaint is the lack of a visual cue showing the remaining power level. It is small and convenient to put ou...

We appreciate you sharing your BE500G3 experience. Our Back UPS series includes smaller entry-level UPS models that do not feature an LED indicator for the remaining battery charge. However, this functionality is present in our Back UPS Pro line models, which come with an LCD display at the front of the unit.

Reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The APC Back-UPS is durable and efficient. It works really well and I have my router connected to it so that my internet does not go out when the power surges. So far so good!

This is a great equipment to have just in case
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is amazing! It is so efficient and great for whoever struggles with power outage. It is easy to carry to places, it is not tremendously big. I know 500va might not be enough for certain equipments or set ups but this has worked for my phones and laptop when we road trip.

APC Back-ups
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality product that feels very heavy duty. It has a decent amount of outlets which is nice. It is pretty bulky which may be inconvenient with certain set ups.

Not great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was quite excited to be trying out this awsome back up battery but to be honest this isn't what it claims to be . The capacity is so low that it isn't even enough for my gaming PC which is over 750W while this can only handle 300W max. I plugged in my TV and Xbox to this as a surge protector but it made my devices sl...

Response from Staples :
Thank you for taking time to provide feedback about our unit. We have various UPS products for different power needs. BE500G3 is one of the smaller entry level UPS units with a capacity of only 300W and an expected runtime of around 3 mins at full load (300W). For higher power requirements, we recommend exploring our Back UPS Pro or Smart UPS line with greater capacity. Some of the models are BR1500MS2, BGM1500, and/or BGM1500B which offer 900W capacity and are more suitable for gaming PCs. If you need further assistance or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team at 800-800-4272 and chat service through our support site - https://www.apc.com/us/en/support/. Support is available Monday – Friday, 8am – 8pm EST.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I deal with a lot of power outages, because some of us work from home these outages affect our ability to work properly. Now with this backup system, it lets us work in peace without worrying if the outage will affect us. It kept my stuff powered on even when we had power failures. Thank you Influenster!!

Protecting both system and peace of mind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a mid-tier PC connected to my living room TV for everyday gaming and streaming . This UPS seemed like a great choice as I didn’t require anything large or overpowered but I still wanted to protect my system. This is vastly superior to a surge protector and I rest easy knowing my system/drives will have some prot...

lifesaver!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] let me just say It couldn’t have arrived at the most perfect time. I’m currently in Texas and were going through outages here and there. This is a lifesaver and definitely great to keep flashlights on or a full phone of charge. easy to connect and does not take up much space.

Love having the reassurance of having APC battery backup !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the simple clean lines and this APC-back up feels heavy but compact . I was able to easily conceal it beside my gaming center making it super efficient to set set up! Love that I’m able to save all my files using the battery back up!

Response from Staples :
Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed that the UPS does not have an user replaceable battery in it. We moved to that option because usually it is more cost effect to replace the entire unit instead of just the internal battery. Also with a new UPS you would get a 3 year manufactures warranty but with replacing just the internal battery you would only get a 2 year manufactures warranty on the internal battery. We will also be adding the option to generate a return label to send the UPS in for recycling.
