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.

Snapped one up for the unbelievable low price of $40 at a local hamfest, thinking it would probably not work and would at the least require a battery replacement. Would you believe it turned out everything works like a champ! I already had a smartUPS model 1000XL which still serves me well.

Lots of power; long runtime; good remote management and diagnostics possible with free software

New they are a bit pricey

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

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

None so far

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
