just what the dr ordered

I bought this product in preparation for Hurricane Irma, and it has worked perfectly during my use. Even when there are no storms, my area is slightly prone to outages, and this UPS has never failed to provide uninterrupted PC use.
During the storm, I had the chance to truly stress-test this product, as I was experiencing multiple power outages a minute. During 40 minutes of PC use, with lights constantly flickering, the UPS logged over 40 events that required battery backup, yet my PC was completely unaffected. After the storm, I was without power for 2.5 days, and the battery kept enough power to charge multiple phones multiple times.

Perfect for Small business

I prefer this device over the SMC1500 due to the runtime. It’s worth the extra investment for your small home or office environment.

Pricy Replacement Batteries and Upfront Cost

I manage the UPS for a midsize biotech in South SF with over 2.5millionKVA backup potential. Before buying this consider if your using a diesel to provide increased power outage support this might be more than you need. True it's scalable if you have high current start up requirements/maintaining switches for pumps PGE will love you for this properly configuring loads on this SMT. Otherwise the BR1500 is my personal favoroite for NGS MiSeq type instruments.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Benefits any workstation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm highly satisfied with my uninterruptible power supply with surge protection from APC. This floorstanding unit has tremendous battery capacity, especially considering its small footprint. It features 8 grounded outlets, a slot for a network management card, one USB-A and a SmartConnect Port, menu navigation buttons, and an easy-to-read LCD screen. It supports my network, PC, multiple monitors, modem, and router with ease. If you max it out, it will give about 24 minutes of usage during an outage; I'm running at around 30% load and get about 40 minutes. What's more, APC SmartConnect can be implemented to monitor the status of your UPC remotely if you wish, but isn't necessary to enjoy the other benefits of this product while omitting real-time monitoring from a distance. The peace of mind in knowing that there will be time to save critical work is worth investing in.

so dependable

APC SmartUPS SMT series UPS provide a longer runtime when comparing against other manufacturers with the same VA rating. APC UPS alarms go off when the batteries runtime is significantly reduced unlike other manufactures whose change battery alarms only go off after the batteries become a gooey mess if at all.

Our former APC UPS lasted 14 years, with only 2 battery changes - true workhorse! This new UPS is updated, so will be able to handle our multiple peripherals and respective software. Though having just purchased it, we're confident it will take us through upcoming years without incident! Thank you for offering great products at reasonable prices, without having to be an IT expert ;-)
