Thanks goodness

We have had 3 APC Back-UPS and slowly have upgraded to more and more wattage. This particular unit is on my wife's PC. We had a power supply failure and replaced the power supply. In fact, the problem was a failing mother board. Fortunately, the APC Back-UPS 550 was in place because the mother board shorted, killing the new power supply. The Back-UPS protected the network and the remainder of the system so that we could recover the hard drive to re-install all her programs on a new computer. Protection in two ways - incoming and from the computer - make these back-up power supplies absolutely essential. Thanks APC

My current UPS battery needed replaced, when checking online there was a sale, so I replaced the old APC UPS unit with this newer one.

Have (5) units that cover not only computer application but aquarium pumps, satellite receivers and security camers.
All work as designed and usually meet or exceed the warranty timeline as far as battery replacement.
The exchange program will address\ to assure the latest product upgrades when this occurs.

This was our 5 Back - UPS purchased from APC. As we add servers and computers, our needs have grown. The APC units work well and we like the ability to replace the batteries rather than the entire unit. We also appreciate the recycling program.

Works great, kill the re-charge alarm

Functionally perfect. Gets me through the power loses that seem to have become more frequent.
Wish I could get rid of the annoying alarm that sounds once power is back on & I turn my computer back on before the unit is fully recharged.

I have been using APC back-ups 550 for years. I now have 3 used to back up 3 different computers. I have never had a problem with any of them except after 5 years I had to replace a battery in 1 of them (the oldest). Been through many black outs and they never failed me.

I have used APC battery backup and surge suppressor units for many years, and found them to be entirely satisfactory. I recycle old units with APC even though it is more expensive than buying a new APC unit at retail. (I often find units on sale locally for about 2/3rd the price at APC but then face the issue of how to recycle the old unit.) I recommend these units to my friends since in the summer in the South we often have powerful storms with lightning and power disruptions. I highly recommend units such as the Back-UPS 550.
