Reviews around setup (3.95 of 5)

  • Setup and installation is very easy, but you should ensure that you keep the load under the maximum watt rating, not the VA rating
  • Setup is trivial; all you have to do is slide out the battery, flip it over so the green label is on top, and push it back in
  • Setup is very easy, remove the bottom plate, pop the battery out, rotate it 180 degrees and slide it back in, put the plate back on and plug it in, couldn't be easier
  • n’t loose any
  • Setup was very easy, and I like the display on the front with current usage, stats, etc

Reviews around apc (3.65 of 5)

  • I do, however, trust APC and have confidence in the reliability of this unit.
  • My old APC, a ES 750 Backups, was bought in 2008, and the battery on it just failed (yes, it lasted TEN years)
  • This was a unit to replace a failing APC 350 unit on my DirecTV HDR
  • I have another 1500VA APC UPS which has worked well for us.
  • For me the batteries last about 5-7 years, and I always buy genuine APC replacement batteries.

  • and now my pretty much brand new battery backup and surge protector is alarming about how it can't do it's job
