Must have an internal clock

The backup system is fine. We had it probably 5 years then the first of five went out. And like clockwork the batteries failed. I swear there is a clock in them. Easy to replace, but when the software warns you, you better order replacements today!
I've been using APC for a number of years and found it to be a quality product. This is my second battery, which usually last about 4 to 5 years. It is a good backup system for my personal computer.
We were going to throw away the old UPS, when a library guy told me about battery replacement. APC's website made it easy to find the right one, the shipping was fast, and we have a "like new" UPS for less than half the cost of a new one. Installation is very easy -- just a screwdriver is needed. Highly recommended!
Works like new! The whole process to purchase was so easy and the product works fantastic. I take the old battery to Best Buy to re-cycle. The only suggestion I would make to improve the whole process would be to have a system set up to allow returns of used batteries directly to APC. This would probably get a lot more people to think green and recycle.
I have bought several UPS 's CS 500 and they have worked just great. They are prompt with their shipments and the products hold up great. Batteries have a long life and believe me I have made them work. Installation is easy and the products provide the service as advertised. Will continue to buy as I consider them a great product and they have protected my Computer, printer, modems etc also another one protects my DVR recorder and the 1 TB HD I installed. Good people good products.
I have been using APC for in my business for years and when my latest unit battery expired, my new replacement was here within 3 business days. Great service, price and great product.
