The arrangement of the plugs makes it virtually impossible to utilize every plug due to alignment being too close and tight to accommodate various size plugs. Otherwise, the unit seems to function adequately for support in events of power outage...which I've already experienced since purchase one month ago.

Zoom in on the top down picture on the site (3rd from top) and look at the ground plugs. You'll see on at least 3 of them they are partially blocked. The unit I purchased on one completely blocked and I'm unable to use a grounded plug in that outlet.

All battery backups typically use nickel cadmium batteries as their power source where their lifespan is around 3 to 5 years. Then the battery fails and you have a choice of replacing the battery, which is 65% of the total product replacement expense, or replacing the battery backup unit. Someday a reasonably priced lithium ion battery backup will be available.

I bought 2 of these circa Dec 2020, One of them is going strong, the other died within 5 months. Tried to warranty this with APC, and because I had a PS4 plugged into the surge protector side, they blamed it saying it was too many watts, and left the support chat 30 seconds later while I was typing a response. Apparently APC doesn't stand by their equipment warranty if normal voltages pass through the surge protector side.

Good unit for backup of network switch and cable modem

small, but effective UPS. has 5 battery and surge outlets and 2 surge outlets

lots of battery back up outlets

I like the fact that the battery is smaller than many and it is working well.

Love this device .It protects my units in my dorm when there are low voltages .

Simple battery installation, adequate protection for 2 laptops and 2 large monitors.
