So I found a genuine APC replacement battery here on Amazon for less than the cost of an off-brand at my local battery place, so that makes this a great value

(The other had a non-replaceable battery for some reason

Either it has a bad battery or the device itself is defective.

I thought the battery was bad on the old unit, but after some testing, I found that wasn't the case

This unit was exactly what I needed - and a readily available user-replaceable battery

Battery is the sore spot, short life, costly.

I like the idea of replaceable batteries although I have replaced any yet.

This is a substantial unit with a nice heavy replaceable battery

We got a new computer last year and it was recommended that we buy a battery back up as well

Like the fact that the battery is replaceable.

LEAD ACID BATTERY which is not good for environment

This model is the best value for the money and essential if you are connected to the internet IMHO.Pros:- longest battery life in this form factor- telephone jacks to protect your modem/ethernet interface- coax jacks to protect your broadband connection- reasonably priced replacement

The first was a very similar one that lasted 9 years before the battery finally died after protecting me from a major power outage

Solid build quality and the batteries just keep on lasting

* those bells and whistles, I just need a good battery with plenty of plugs, and a good price

Strong battery life

This model doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' that more expensive backup batteries do, but I do

I hate battery back-ups, but this one seems to be just fine.

Battery was a little hard to connect, as other reviewers have notedOther thoughts:It would be nice if the master/slave outlets were both on the battery backup, so that when the computer shuts down or enters standby, the monitors automatically shut off, but were still powered in the case of a power outage

it.5/1/15:APC first thought the battery was bad and sent me a new one.

Just recently it started beeping softly and light flashing red which I'm sure is a failing battery after almost 5 full years of service

So, the battery goes dead almost immediately

My 1st back up battery, but all work as I expected

I was amazed and found out that somehow having the batteries in the back up actually absorbed the impact.of the strike

The instructions for connecting the battery were non-existent; the clear plastic thing fell off and I had no clue what to do with it; the battery was really

Hooked it all up as the instructions stated, hooked up the battery, and really didn't have much difficulty with the positive battery post as most are saying is a pain in the butt.

The site stated that this model was no longer made and there were no replacement batteries available

I bought the same one about 5 years ago and the battery just started to die.

battery easy to replace when needed

Not much diagnostic info to know whether I have a bad battery, or bad device

I still haven't downloaded the software controls, but it's been as reliable as all other APC battery backups I've had so far.

Powers equipment for longer than expected, excellent battery life2

While it has a cheesy battery pack that you can attach for this very purpose, it does require that the device reboot twice (once when going on the battery pack, and once when going back onto the AC/DC adapter).Being the impatient sort, and wanting uninterruptible power for the Vera anyway, I figured that the best approach was to get a small UPS.

Good battery back-up.

This is a great battery backup.

APC sells the best Battery Backups.

Great battery backup!

Under such circumstances, a good idea to then shut off the backup so as not to drain the battery unnecessarily

This Smart Battery Backup and power conditioner really does the job

All batteries will fail over use and time.

I was expecting my trusty APC battery to kick in and keep my computer running until I shut down Windows.

You can get approximately 12 minutes out of it if you burn the battery totally down.

Great battery, will buy again

APC has a battery replacement/recycle program and seems to charge fair prices and provide environmentally proper recycling of their lead-acid rechargeable batteries

battery died after about a year an a half

This was a great battery charger the battery work really well

I was able to buy a new unit almost as cheap as a new battery

After worrying about my house filling with smoke because of a power outage (a common occurrence around here), I found this Battery Back Up which is perfect for my Harman pellet stove

After 8 years, the user replaceable battery should be replaced regardless.

One lasted over four years and when it weakened too much to keep the computer and some other stuff running at once, I just swapped the battery for even even less money and it's back to full power.

The BE750G battery was easy to connect to the UPS and I had it plugged in and set up very quickly

Seems to be a very good battery back-up UPS.

The battery was easy to install, no tools needed.

Pros:- Works as a battery

for those who get the beeping to replace the battery you can usually override this by tricking the unit that you have replaced the battery and trust me you can get at least a few more months to a year on the same battery

If/when you have a power outage, it automatically kicks in to supply up to 15 or 20 minutes of continued power to your computer as well as to such ancillary things as a printer, a modem, etc..
