lasted 9 years

I don't know the life span of the whole unit is but the battery is 3 to 5 years and I got 9 out of that battery some people state that surge protectors should be replaced every 5 years and others say 10 years I'm happy getting 9 great years out of that unit. i just replaced it with another back-ups 650 the first one was a back-ups ES 650, the new one is the same with less outlets. I only use it to keep the network up during a power outage.
Hopefully this one gives me another 9 years or more
Pros: Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Short Life Span (and new battery didn't help)

Bought one of these a while back and it worked great . . . for a while. Then, it started alarming periodically for no apparent reason.
Replaced the battery thinking that might be the problem, but it still alarms.
Any suggestions? Is it just a bad unit, or have a short lifespan (about 2 years old)?
Cons: Part Failure, Low Confidence in 24/7 Uptime
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great little item!

We already had an APC Back-UPS 550, so when we needed to replace two older units - one an APC product, the other of a different brand - we automatically wanted a similar APC product to the 550. These are compact and with the available ports, outlets, etc., they are perfect for our needs. We even put one in an upper kitchen cabinet to be out the way, and it produces less heat than the previous older other-brand model did. We are very happy with our acquisitions!

Limited Experience, But A Good Product

This unit was doing a great job until a power surge in a bad thunderstorm took it out. I had only had it for about six weeks. The good news is that it saved a laser printer and other computer equipment.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I liked my old one which I used for 9 years, but the new one has a horrible, very high pitched whine so I have to cover it up at night to bock the noise.

A proven winner
on April 4, 2013

To complete the addition of another computer in our tech corral we needed a new Back-UPS. We ordered the Back-UPS 650 because our other Back-UPS 650s have been tested and proven winners for our company. Rather than spending time researching other products we opt to order the proven product and not chance it with something untested.
These units have a very long battery life. When the end is reached ordering the replacement battery from APC is easy and convenient. There is an alarm to 'remind you' it is time to replace the battery. We have 12+ units on-hand of various ages, so rather than waiting until we hear the battery replacement beeping notice, we keep a spare battery on-hand. As soon as the spare battery is installed, I order a new battery from APC, print the APC provided free UPS return label for the old (dead) battery and receive the new spare battery in a few days. The entire process is easy, convenient, and hassle free.
