APC UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector, BE650G1, Dataline Protection, Backup Battery Power Supply

I thoroughly researched various brands to protect my computer, monitor and printer. I have previously owned an APC surge protector/battery back up and because I was already familiar with the product, I opted to purchase again and I am very happy I did. It's a quality product with a stellar reputation. My unit was shipped in a timely manner. While I have not had any power issues since purchasing it, I feel very confident that my unit will protect my computer. I am very pleased with how the item was shipped and I would recommend this brand.

Bought in 2019. Battery just now went dead. Six plus years, not bad! And it has been used. I live in a rural area with frequent voltage drops and outages. Keeps two routers, a couple NAS drives, a weather station, and my Google mesh router going.

Works great! I bought the same to replace my one that went bad.

Reliable power protection, I use it with my Synology DS423+ NAS

I'm hoping the test slip is from APC, or just because it was returned. If I just bought a refurbished or used item, I will not be happy. Also, I added a stock photo for clarity on which UPS I purchased; I've seen photos of two different units in this thread of comments.Set up was easy, everything is plugged in and seems to be working.I've had APC UPS protectors before, and have been happy with them. I've replaced the battery in old units, and replaced the entire unit (like this time) when it was just old and "ready" for replacement.Item just purchased: APC UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 600VA/300 Watts, BE600M1 with USB Charger Port

Medium-light duty uninterrupted power supply. Peace of mind is worth the price.I have two other APCs, one heavy-duty one for the work computer, printers, and monitors, another for the smaller system downstairs and the router, and bought this as a gift for my spouse to use with a laptop and a couple of extra hard drives. All three units are working well and have saved us a lot of trouble (and possible harm to our data and hard drives) during power outages which we tend to get frequently in this area.Note: If your unit is alarming frequently (or at all) then you probably need to get a higher-voltage model. Turning off the alarm is not the solution. I originally bought one that was too low for my office setup, so I swapped it to the smaller system, and got a bigger one. That solved the problem. Now all three systems work great.

I would have saved myself a lot of time and hassle if I had known this UPS was still available. Family got 3 new computers for Christmas and since we live in hurricane alley(more on that later) I decided to get ups units for all of them.I originally bought 2 of the apc 600's on a black friday sale (not Amazon) but returned them in less than 30 min when I started reading the reviews and noticed it was light as a feather. It was advertised as having a usb port well yes technically that was true but it did not connect to anything. So in other words this ups had no way of shutting down the computer like a normal UPS has. The other biggie was the thing had a tiny battery and it was not replaceable. Why they did that is beyond me but between that and the faux usb port it was time to return them both. Note Amazon sells the same 600 here but the pictures show a real usb port and I have read they make that model both ways so that one might be ok.After that I ordered 2 similar cyber power units but canceled them after I read they too were disposable units because you could not replace the battery in them. I never could find out what battery they used and that was the tip off. At least they had real USB ports but I wanted to keep looking.I found a triplite 750 that had very good reviews but then one of the reviewers reported they don't work with Mac's and 2 of our new computers are those new Mini Mac M1's so I had to pass on that one.Then bingo I found an old friend called the BE650G1 or as some call it, the ES650. I still have the original model from 2007 and it still works like a charm. I also have it's baby brother the 325 and it also works just like new.During the fall , I lost track of how many Hurricanes we went through. But in 2 of them both these units worked their hearts keeping my servers and tv going. Around 4am the hurricane hit and the power was switching back and forth like mad. This went on till about 645am when we lost power for good. But this allowed me to watch the news and stay online till that time.So after finding out this unit was still available I ordered 3 of them and sure glad I did. No weird-tiny and hard to find batteries like some of the newer units. When UPS arrived today with my new 650's, they drove up my very steep driveway to put them in my garage because they are so heavy, The shipping box even had a Heavy label on the side.You can get the battery for the 650 from your local electrical supply company for about half the price that you pay at one of those national battery chain stores. That another reason why I would recommend this oldie but goodie model It also works with Windows, Linux and Macs with no issues and I hope APC will continue making this model for years to come!

Just what I was looking for. With the dirty power here it is keeping my computer safe.
