We use these larger capacity UPS for servers and industrial security type applications
Nice informative activity displays with incident information along with
line voltages IN & OUT and percent load data. Very reliable but we
swap them out on a 36 month basis.

Died in a Month
The battery shows fully charged on the panel but if the power goes out it only holds for about 10 seconds. Changing to another brand.

Great Product for a Great Price
Even though I've only had my APC UPS for a week, it's connected and working as it should be. I feel comfortable it will serve the purpose I bought it for when the time is needed

Great Price for Great Product
I've only had my APC UPS for about a week and it's not necessarily been needed yet, but it's working as it should be and I feel comfortable that it will serve the purpose I purchased it for.

Schneider Back-up UPS Pro
I’ve only had it a day but it has already increased productivity in my office. The circuit breaker trips daily due to space heaters and microwaves being used on the same circuits. The electricians will not come resolve the issue and my PC would always randomly cut off whenever someone heated their food not knowing the ramifications. Not, my workstation remains powered u...

Battery is DEAD
Battery backup received August 2024. I charged it overnight before attaching it to our server. Overnight on 9/24/2024 there was a power outage. Battery backup shutdown server, and this morning at 8:30am showed one bar (see photo). At 10:30am it shows no bars and obviously isn't recharging (see photo). The power has been back on since at least 7am and the battery ba...

Really tough to rate this
I cannot rate this until the power goes out, so I think I will sit here and wait. Hum dee dum dum. Nope, not yet. Power is still on. This is taking a while. Well, let's just say it has not failed yet.

Packed With Power
Delivery and installation was very smooth, packaged well. We used all of the available outlets for a PC, monitors, printer, Router, IoPs, Hubs, and chargers with less than 25% capacity being used. Time will tell.

It was larger than expected. It has saved my tv and video recorder in the short time it has been installed.

So Far So Good
Simple to install. The battery needs to be removed and flipped over. Not a big deal but the door would not go back on after flipping the battery. It took some force to get the battery to set properly for the door to go back on.

ROCK SOLID / Excellent Value!
The PowerChute app that comes with this model APC is simple, requires almost zero resources, and delivers amazing details such as blackout (power loss), undervoltage, overvoltage, and electrical noise monitoring stats. The ability to run self-test is useful. This model has customizable options such as "runtime" a real time estimate of how long your protected device (I u...

Bauk up
The back is more powerful then I expected, but power goes down and messes up my system. Since I got it there hasn't been a problem.

fails self test, softwar disregards setting silenc
After a few months it spontaneously would drop to battery charge zero and beep it's head off saying it failed self-test. I recycled the packing and box so can't return it. I keep using it until I can get an actual working decent UPS and it seems to function, but it fails every week or so an does it's beeping. Battery goes back up to 100% and works for another week.
