A Great UPS

The size is great, low profile, so it fits under my computer desk. The display is GREAT. You can select between many different measurements going on. The icing on the cake is a n easy user replaceable battery.
I got this thing about a year ago, and I have 3 computers plugged into it. It still gives around 30 minutes of runtime, and I've never had any issues with it.
I have had no issues with my Smart 1500. I plugged it in, plugged in my computer and other devices (it is nice having so many outlets), and turned it on. I have had a power outage since then, and it performed perfectly. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I got this UPS because the battery on my old APC unit was dying. In looking at replacement batteries I took a look at replacement units. I found this unit which is is perfect to replace both of my old APC units for a very reasonable price. I installed it and it has a great run time for my equipment. I will likely be able to ride out the next time there is a power outage without even having to shut down. I love the LCD readout that give me lots of info at a glance.
This Battery backup works great, I never new how many power surges we actually have till I hooked this unit up. I live in central Florida and the reason I bought the Tripp-Lite is my two year old HP PC blew up. My tech told me it was from power surges, so I bought two one for my computer room and one for the living room for TV cable box stereo dvr and all other electronic stuff. Its amazing how the dvr box does not shut down every day and the dreaded 30 minute wait for reboot. These battery backups are worth there weight in gold.
After having several other brands of ups that failed just after the warranty expired I decided to try a triplite. What a difference! This unit is the best I've seen. I like the fact that I can see how much of a load it has and how I don't lose any data due to power outages. I highly recommend this product.
I purchased one of these to replace a smaller unit and was impressed with the function during its first power loss, Since then I purchased another for a different room in house. One week later my home had a direct lighting strike, I lost majority of my electronics that were on other UPS setups. The only equipment loss on the two LCD 1500VA was the equipment connected to the Ethernet cable which was connected through the RJ45 ports on UPS. The claims department has been great so far with a quick response and replacements shipped out within a couple of days.
We are a business incubator that uses 3D software and three 3D Printers to help entrepreneurs develop prototypes of their ideas and concepts. Often all three printers are running at the same time and all are plugged into our Tripp-Lite Model 1500LCDT unit. We have had a number of storms recently in Florida and power surges and outages have occurred in the past week. Every time this happened the Tripp-Lite performed flawlessly and kept our expensive 3D Printers from being fried.
