There's really nothing odd about this product: it does exactly what it says on the box. It sends e-mail alerts whenever the battery kicks off, it sends signal to computers via Ethernet to shutdown (up to 40 or 50, I think)

Ease of installation; Ease of configuration

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.

I use this to power the router, NAS, iMac and IP phone in my office at home. It is ESSENTIAL as we frequently have mini powercuts being rural. HIGHLY recommended. I think I get about 30 mins from it under full load. Wouldn't be without one.

i have the non- rack mount version of this apc. works great and does what it is supposed to do.

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.

I use it for my Dell Studio XPS 9100 computer, 21.5" monitor, router, cable modem, speakers, printer. It represents less then 20% load for the UPS (115 W). I had couple of power outages recently. UPS worked great. I was left with 42 minutes of battery power.

Quiet operation; Very powerful; All features work as advertised; Very useful disaplay of parameters like current load, time left (in battery operation

To the guy who said you need a 208 volt output and a **50 AMP** circuit I'm pretty sure he clicked on the wrong link or is confusing this model for a different model. I own one and I'm ordering another.

Sine wave output; Supported by OSX

Price; UPSes are like toilet paper; There is nothing glamorous about them and to be honest I HATE spending money on something like this but if you value your data, it's a requirement; I've had this specific model for a few years; My power requirements have grown a bit so I'm ordering a second

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