Originally good, but batteries have short lives

The first battery I received with the unit lasted nearly 2 years. However replacement batteries have been dying in months, the most recent one only two. I am changing brands, even though I purchased a spare backup battery.
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance
Cons: Part Failure, Low Confidence in 24/7 Uptime
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The unit is very sturdy and looks nice on my desk. I've also installed the PowerChute software and connected the unit via USB to my computer, which has a nice dashboard that allows me to monitor the system and change the configuration. My only criticism of the unit is that it's a bit loud -- it makes a constant humming sound. You don't really notice it if you have other audio going on, but in a quiet room it's definitely noticeable.
I would recommend this to a friend!
