Do not buy this series of APC. I trusted APC because of their reputation; this was a mistake. The transformer is on 24/7 (which is bad), and the fan only runs in certain cases (this is not good either); this is cooking the batteries, badly cutting their lifespan. The batteries cannot be replaced without voiding the warranty and complex technical operations. The APC software keeps reporting "batteries OK" even if they are bad; their tests are useless. Mine stopped being able to take over even 80W of load after 2 years and 1 day - conveniently just outside the warranty period. If the power cuts out, the APC dies immediately. For the cost of this horrible cost-cutting design you can get much better Eaton or Cyberpower units. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
I was happy with the previous APC model, it worked for over 5 years before the battery went dead. That's why I bought 2 of these newer APC models. One UPS to myself, one to a relative in the family (so they were in different environments and differently utilized). The first UPS broke in 1.5 years, the second in less than 2 years. After my experience with this model, I will go to another brand next time.
Control software
It does what it's supposed to when the power goes out, it holds long enough. It will give you enough time to save everything in peace, hang up and shut down the computer.
Quiet
Unreasonably strong lighting, at night the whole room is so green that you can see it like a night lamp
I bought 2 UPS, both stopped working while still under warranty (fortunately, solved by replacement)
The first day after plugging in a terrible smell - burning, the second day better, the third day nothing can be smelled. Quick and easy to connect. Settings in Synology NAS also without problem, it can put the NAS to sleep when the battery is low, then wake the NAS up again when the power is restored - which was the purpose of the purchase. Obviously underpowered for a PC, but a NAS, switch and router will do nicely.
trouble-free commissioning
package includes usb cable for connection to PC or NAS
compatible with Synology NAS
it lights up a lot, which I don't care about, but some people might mind ( the side lights can be re-taped, but the power button still lights up a lot - it can be re-taped too: ) )
the smell, it lasted almost a month before it stopped smelling
apc software is not bloatware, but I would have expected better, much better.
after about 3/4 year I found out, when it went down, that it just didn't work, even to the point that it almost took out the electronics. the flashlight died. I bought a new one, but in the meantime I replaced a new one, which hasn't had a problem for more than 10 years (with one battery change). I'll try again to see if it works
the LEDs shine incredibly dim, need to be re-glued
the best part is that when I put the USka to the test, still with the bad flashlight, it pretended that everything was ok: D
I bought 3 pcs and all of them have been on warranty one even twice...it can handle 2 power outages and then it shuts down almost immediately when the next one happens.
I bought different types in number of 3pcs and they switch off spontaneously, each after a different time. Probably defective components or PCB design.
