UPS Battery Backup for Power Outages, 600VA/330W Surge Protector, 7 Outlets, USB Charging, BE600M1 Uninterruptible Power Supply for Computers, Wi-Fi Routers, and Home Office Electronics

I've bought APC battery backups for years to plug my computer and WiFi into. My old one was on the way out, and I needed one right away. I ordered this and got it the next day. It works well, has surge protector slots, and is quiet. Hopefully it will be quiet when the power goes out as well. Installation was easy: attach the battery and plug into the outlet. And it was priced less than if I went to my local business supply store and purchased the same thing. Thank you!

I bought this model eight years ago. It’s worked beautifully for almost all that time. For about a year, it would sound the alarm, I would reset it and it would be fine 5 months. The battery life is excellent. It finally bit the dust yesterday. It kept screaming at me and would not reset. I am replacing it with the same one since the battery was only $14 less than a brand new unit. I definitely I got my money’s worth!

Bought this specifically to keep my router and modem running during power outages and it does the job perfectly. Living in Texas where grid reliability can be unpredictable, having a UPS on networking gear is just common sense — and this APC unit has already proven its worth multiple times. The 600VA/330W capacity is more than enough to power a typical router and modem setup, and the runtime is genuinely useful rather than just a few seconds of buffer. You get enough time to either wait out a brief flicker without your connection dropping, or ride out a longer outage and stay connected for a meaningful stretch. For anyone working from home, that continuity can save a lot of headaches. When the power went out during a recent storm, the UPS kept my network up long enough to keep my kids entertained until the power came back on (30-45 minutes later). Seven outlets is a nice bonus — 5 with full battery backup and surge protection, and 2 that are surge-only — so you can protect additional gear beyond just your networking equipment. The USB charging port is a handy extra touch. Setup is completely plug-and-play with no configuration needed. APC is a trusted name in UPS gear and the build quality reflects that. The battery is user-replaceable down the road (model APCRBC154), which extends the lifespan well beyond a disposable budget unit. For the price, the peace of mind alone makes this a no-brainer.

This will save a lot of wear and tear on your computer if you live somewhere where you have frequent power disruptions, if you install it properly, and are aware of its limitations. It is a small unit and its main purpose is NOT to keep you running for extended periods of time, but rather to allow your computer to shut down gracefully if there is a sustained power outage of more than a few minutes, and to continue to function normally in the phase of brief outages and brown outs. You need to install an accompanying software onto your computer (PowerChute) and set it up so that if the power outage lasts more than a couple of minutes your computer will go through its normal shutdown. If you have your monitor and a desktop plugged in the battery will keep it running for maybe ten or fifteen minutes. I have mine set up so that if the power failure is more than three minutes, it tells my computer to go through a normal shutdown. It will first close any open files and it will prevent the power failure from causing corruption of your hard drive. It comes with a specialized cable that will connect the battery to a USB port on your computer through which it tells your computer to shut down. And it will definitely do those things very well. Don't think though that this will keep your computer running for hours or anything like that.

This company is famous for good products. I bought this one to operate my wifes recliner when the power goes off. The little 9 volt system that came with the recliner always had a dead battery when the power went off. This device is big enough to power more than just a recliner. It stays plugged up so it is always at full charge. Tested with two recliners and lamp all at the same time and functioned as needed.

Ordered this APC backup battery for my desktop/modem/router set up after the battery on my old backup died. I had two criteria: 1) I needed something that was small enough to fit under the back of my desk. My old one didn't, so I would kick it with my feet sometimes. 2) I also had a problem with one of my cats turning off my old backup unit. Apparently the cat liked the tone it emitted when she turned it off,. The package for this one is configured so that the on/off button is recessed, giving less chance for the cat to turn it off. If I'm ever in doubht, the green light on top tells me it is on (knock on wood - she hasn't managed to turn it off yet). The battery arrived fully charged so once I attached the connectors, I was able to hook it up right away. It has 6 AC outlets; 4 are BU and surge protected, 2 are for surge protection only, so chose which ones are connected to what equipment wisely. I do like that some of the plug ins are spaced to accomodate larger plugs. After getting it all set up, I pulled the plug to the wall outlet, and the APC battery backup took over as it should. This should give me plenty of time to save any work and let my computer shut down gracefully in case of a power outage or even power blip.

Purchased to provide consistent power for my home network and was live tested within 3 days of implementation when we had fluctuating power in my area. Performed perfectly and kept my network active the entire time (15 minutes) which would have normally collapsed saving me days and many hours of rebuilding! No question for me that it proved itself under ings live fire and lived up to the hype. There's no way I'd build now without one!!!

This has more than enough juice to keep my wifi on for a while during a power outage. Good length on the cable and an easy to read display. Installation was a breeze, plug it in, plug into it lol. Not too heavy, can lift or place int hard to reach areas if necessary. Pretty solid buy for peace of mind during a power outage.

Excelente producto. funciona bien. Si no tiene cable de tierra de su casa o apartamento, indicador va a encender como rojo, pero no afecta la función de UPS

The UPS is great, been using it for over a week and throughout power outages and its been nothing but good. Its not the most powerful or not the most in battery life but its certainly enough for the average joe with their router. Its even good for a small amount of mobile power despite not being made for it, i wouldn't suggest it as you can risj damage to your unit but as for me i am careful so i am fine (i am not responsible for any and all damages made to your unit(s). Any and all careless acts carried out by you is yours and your fault only.) Ease of use is great, just connect the battery, plug it in and hit the power button. Turns right on and starts working immediately, some things to note. In the event of a long term outage, i would recommend checking in on it every now and then as the default alarm doesn't sound untie the battery is quite low. I would suggest either changing it or just checking in on it after a while. Other than that its a great little UPS and i would recommend it to others. One thing id like to see added is the ability for the ups to change the power button color depending on the SOC (state of charge) would be great to see that instead of a blinking green button till it starts beeping at you.

Llegó a tiempo, perfectamente empacado y protegido. La batería desconectada lo que garantiza su estado de conservación. Batería original de la misma marca. Aún no lo pongo a trabajar, pero eso no lo pongo es duda...

Very easy to install. Not power outages yet so I can't report on how well it will work.

We have APC backups on our computers and other peripherals, but this one was bought to supply uninterrupted power to our WIFI router and Ethernet switch and other devices which rely on having an internet connection at all times. We just need the UPS to last long enough for the standby generator to start and transfer power. This 600va does the trick. Excellent quality and highly recommended.
