This company is famous for good products. I bought this one to operate my wifes recliner when the power goes off. The little 9 volt system that came with the recliner always had a dead battery when the power went off. This device is big enough to power more than just a recliner. It stays plugged up so it is always at full charge. Tested with two recliners and lamp all at the same time and functioned as needed. Read more
Bought this device several years ago and it’s still working great. I use it in my garage where it is supplying power to my Amplifi router and Ethernet switch. I use the hard wired Ethernet connections for my home backup batteries and access to the internet. The garage router is also hardwired Ethernet connection to the other routers for the best reliability. I found that even though the router and switch are on a critical circuit powered by the home backup batteries the switchover time is right on the edge to keep the router and switch continuously powered. So the suspenders and belt backup works great and I haven’t had any connection problems during power outages. Since the unit is powered by the backup batteries the short time for switchover that there maybe in a power outage is amply covered by the units capacity. Very pleased with its operation. I use similar units for the other routers and WiFi extension devices on my home network. The main electronics closet is also backed up with larger APC UPS devices. Read more
I usually get this sort of ‘appliance’ at a local source but they were out and didn’t know when they would restock. I needed this to complete the setup and installation of an additional NAS unit on my network. I never run something as critical as a NAS without power protection and backup and unless forced into doing so, I always use APC. We used APC products when I worked in govt/military development systems and never had any problems so I was well aware of APC dependability. This little unit is the smallest they make that features an USB port for allowing the NAS and APC to communicate to orderly shutdown in case of extended power outage. Last thing you want a NAS to do is slam the door shut if the power goes out. A nice and gentle shutdown and you have less chance of issues when everything comes back on. Best of all, it’s is totally quiet …. except when it goes to backup and the alarm comes on. It will wake the dead, but that’s what I want it to do in case I’m sleeping when it happens. Read more
I bought 4 of them. I feel that my desktops are safe. 2 was purchased in March 2021. There were several outages and surges. UPS handled it pretty well. Then in 2023 of of them just gave up. I thought it was the battery problem. I bought another one, took of the battery from new unit and connected to the one which gave up. Nope! Problem never went away. Here is the problem. Power is down, UPS doesn't switch to battery, it just shuts down output power with one continues signal (pretty annoying). If I would disconnect buttery from unit and reconnect, long beep will go away, power button is green, everything looks normal. I can connect my Desktop and and monitor (don't connect a printer) and they would run until I would disconnect UPS from power outlet (from the wall socket), then UPS would go crazy with long beep again, cutting output power. It didn't matter if battery was new or old. In fact I took out battery from this malfunctioning unit and connected to new UPS, connected Desktop and monitor, then unplugged UPS from power outlet and old battery kept running supplying Desktop + Monitor with power. So my guess something happened to PCB circuit board on older UPS during last short outage. I kept the old battery and throw the unit away. Anyway, This UPS interface shows that it will provide 180min of power for Motorola MB8600 Cable modem and Asus RT AX3000 Router connected to the unit. And 17 minutes for HP Desktop (400W)+ BenQ 24'' for second Unit. In my opinion it's important to have it. Your Desktop may have Windows updates or back up process during sudden outage and you don't wont to brick your OS if this will happen. PS Amazon sent me "New" UPS which has QC printout on unit dated by 2021. Old stock I guess. It works though. Battery keeps holding. Read more
Purchased go to allow Linux based server to gracefully shutdown when power goes out. Uses an outdated printer style USB cable that might need to be purchased separately. Form factor is nice with plugs oriented to support transformers. Excellent value for a homelab server set up to prevent failure from power blips while allowing for automatic rebooting when the power comes back on. Purchased mine in 2019 and just now checking in 6 years later in 2025 after replacing the battery. Read more
Easily connect the red wire to the battery after unpacking because its not connected during shipment; charged it for 24 hours snd then connected my cable modem and router each to a surge/bavckup port and today tested by unplugging the ups for 15 minutes and it switched to battery backup so fast my network had no clue it seitched and all my network devices stayed connected like normal. So after 15 minutes i plugged the ups back in ad it switched back to power seamless-sly.z. Very nic e product. I didn’t bother yo connect yhe usb cable to my computer, but I’m sure the ups management would work fine. Very nice product. Battery would be easy to replace if and when that would be needed. Great product !!! Read more
