## Description

Extended-run battery systems provide flexible runtime to critical Smart-UPS applications. This battery back is for the SMX family of UPS that are 1500VA and lower.

Review: Expensive but well worth it! - Purchased this unit to extend the run time of the primary UPS. It's a battery unit, works out of the box, easy to set up and reliable.
Review: Suspect units used/referb - Purchased 2 APC Smart-UPS X 1500 units as NEW units on same order. Arrived, the model numbers were slightly different. External indications both units were used/referbs. Like other reviewer, NMC in both units were used/refurb and they STILL had data from previous customer (kroger, internal DNS and NTP servers, etc.). NMC firmware old (2017). Also, like other reviewer, the default password on one NMC was not the default. Factory reset necessary. Also, new units from APC come with mounting rails, neither of these did. If was listed as refurbishment, and the price cheaper accordingly, things would have been fine, but as was, and even a poor refurbishment job, this was unacceptable.

### ⭐⭐ Used to be Good Company
*by T***T on November 30, 2024*

APC Products used to be good. Just bought the second of these units for use in two different places. After a week the NMC on the first unit became inaccessible but UPS still works for what I need. This unit, the NMC is inaccessible out of the box. Bad firmware? Maybe. Can't tell because I can't Access it. This NMC won't even reset to factor default. The main UPS part of the unit works fine. It just can't be managed.
