The APC batteries work great. I have a set running at the house that are 3 years plus. They have saved my 2 systems several times during outages and power fluctuations. Don't lose a system to a power outage, no problems and amazingly easy to install.

I run two heavily overclocked PC's and peripherals on it. I connected one monitor, a small tv, and stereo to a cheaper APC 750w, 1250 VA model, which works well also. I upped overclock on main PC to absolute limit, hasn't flinched once. Worth the price.

Handles two heavily overclocked PC's (without monitors) without reaching 50% load; It gets a workout during hot summer evenings, often switching to battery for a few seconds, and sometimes to AVR for short periods; Also, thunderstorms are no longer cause for panic

Heavy..; I mean really heavy; Burglars would leave it behind

Not the cheapest, but the management software and range of features make it a winner

Editor's Note : Product not yet tested. The following description is from the manufacturer. APC Smart-UPS is the most popular UPS in the world for servers, storage and networks. Smart-UPS have extremely high efficiency at low, medium and high load levels making them ideal for today's multi-core or...

Businesses that can't afford to lose IT operations need to protect their critical systems from power problems. APC's Smart-UPS 1500 can look after multiple servers and associated networking equipment in a small business environment, and at just over $1000 for a near kilowatt UPS it looks good value.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Compact; Discreet; Easy To Setup; Quiet; Runs Cool

Hard to turn on or off

Bought this to use in an SMT3000RM2U for my company. Works great, just plugs into the back. Allows up to 50 computers to be safely shutdown via ethernet signal if the power goes out.

easy to install; just plugs into UPS

Expensive

Direct fit for APCC Smart-UPS1500. I had considered testing the old battery but when you realise what is relying on the UPS, just change the battery.

Great place to purchase replacement battery. Quick shipping too.

I've used both APC and CyberPower products. APC's reputation speaks for itself. Used for modem, phone, router, HTPC, LED TV, receiver. Pricey but worth it when on sale.
