A lifesaver for outages
on September 1, 2024
Posted by: pudgydumpling
[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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The APC Back-UPS provides reliable backup power and surge protection for electronic devices. I like its easy setup, consistent performance, and ability to handle power fluctuations without issue. It features multiple outlets, a USB C, and a USB charging port. It is recommended for home and small office use, offering peace of mind during power outages.

[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.
on July 30, 2024
Posted by: timv10
[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 out of the way and still be useful. Overall, it's a decent unit, but the only indicator for power level is an audio beep indicating it is low on power. It's unclear what is left at that point though.

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.

[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
on July 13, 2024
Posted by: lizg243
[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.
