Purchased in February 2017, died in January 2018.

I have had many APC units over perhaps a 20 year period of time. They have always been reliable. But a unit that is dead after less than a year has me wondering if the quality of work at APC has deteriorated. I will try another model. I also have a model 850 that was purchased at the same time.
However I won't allow APC another chance if this occurs again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than buying a new UPS

We have several APC Back-UPS 650's located through-out the office and prefer to purchase a new battery rather than buy an entire unit. The connectors have a snug fit and may need a little extra encouragement to get properly attached. The batteries have a long life, so you will not need to constantly replace the battery. Thanks to APC's free return label, disposal is a breeze.

Not totally happy
on August 11, 2014
Posted by: RMacDaddy
I was disappointed that this UPS had no software support for an iMac. The unit works great but I was use to the software telling me if I had a problem when I had a PC. Shipping was very slow also, that needs improvement.

APC Update

I wrote something about the upgrade then this site wiped it out. Anyway, I like the item, it will prevent my computer from crashing during power failure. Haven't had one yet. Just saying.

necessary purchase
on March 11, 2012

Bought this model to replace my older BackUPS500 unit to protect my computer equipment. I expect this one to be just as reliable as the older model, even though this one is noisier. Sounds like the battery circuitry "talks" as it tries to recharge the backup battery.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better connectivity

One improvement this model has over earlier models is the USB on the UPS.

Replacement for older APC UPS
on December 6, 2012
Posted by: bert f.
from Norwood, MA
I recently replaced my failing APC 350U UPC with a newer APC 650 backup unit. So far I have not had any power outages so I can't yet comment on power loss handling, but the unit was easy to set up and connect to my PC. It initially showed a run time of 123 minutes but after its first automatic self check the run time then displayed as 23 minutes which is more like I expected. If I encounter an adverse problems with this unit, I'll be back to update my review.
I would recommend this to a friend!
