We purchase this unit for our customers who need reliable backup power for their servers but are budget conscious and don't have a rack for installation. LED display is a nice feature in this price range. Easy battery changes keep the customer up and running without worry.
SMT1500s continue to work day in and day out supplying clean power to sensitive equipment. Once we put these in place on our entry level servers, we know the machines are protected going forward. Replacing batteries every 3 years (sometimes longer) is the only maintenance required.
Purchased this unit for my home business. I am a graphic artist and photographer, so I have a lot of equipment that is connected including a mid 2010 iMac 21.5"/Intel 3.6gzh Core i5, second Apple 20" display, Epson Scanner, Drobo 4 Bay, Seagate 2TB External HD, plus my internet modem and Wi-Fi Router. Have had quite a few power outages since adding this unit, some that lasted a few minutes and some that lasted for a couple hours, each time everything has stayed on and allowed me to shut down properly, so it does the job. I especially like the load readout and available battery percentage readout, great for those outages so you know how much you have left and when to shut down when it's getting low. All in all very pleased, great product!
