Seems Good, Needs more space between the 110V AC recepticals

...because their software allows you to set the voltage levels of electricity before the battery kicks in. It is the same thing as Automatic Voltage Regulation when you set the levels. Thats why APC costs 6% more than competeting products by other manufacturers but it is worth it.

Size and design of equipment is good. Software is easy to install

We have been using APC for all our systems here. We switched to this model as our previouse was discontinued but used the same battery system.

Same battery as previous

Two weeks ago I purchased this UPS for a computer and one monitor. I also downloaded the PowerChute software from the APC.com website. At first, it said the estimated battery time was 200 minutes. I then ran a couple of tests on the UPS by turning off the power bar it was plugged into.

Excellent stand by power source for the money. Surge protection on the 350 model saved a computer system and phone. It took the hit and cooked the battery but all items pluged in are working today.

Simple setup and manage well through APC software.

Good brand to put all your electronic devices on it; Easy installation and communicate well with computer

I bought this to replace a similar product from the same maker that gave some trouble after 8 years of good service. I'm happy with electrical or electronic equipment that lasts beyond 5 years. All APC products that I have exceeded that. I have a larger unit for my multi drive, dual monitor system.

I ordered this for my new computer, and we had a power flicker just a few hours after I set it up! It worked perfectly. There is software included that will let you check the status of the battery and tell the unit what to do if it loses power (such as turn off the computer). Very useful!

I purchased this for my high end gaming computer. I did a test and even with a 750w Power Supply and dual video cards, the BE550G took 4 minutes to hit 50% battery life, which is more than sufficient for me to shut down.

Adequate Power; Easy To Set Up; Excelent value
