Product Information

While I used to use UPS(es) in the past, until the recent energy crisis there was not much use for one; I don't remember how many years back we had a power-cut (accidental cable cut in high-street? Whether you own a motorhome, van or emergency vehicle, Poynting antennas can bring you the stable and reliable connection you need to stay in touch no matter the conditions or circumstances. The UPS works very well with recent Apple Macs - it is detected directly by MacOS as a UPS and needs no extra software. The APC Back-UPS is a battery backup and surge protector that prevents computers and other electronic devices from being damaged by extended power outages or surges in electrical current. Replacement UPS batteries can also be replaced during a maintenance visit or as part of a UPS health check.

The batteries are easy to replace when they reach the end of their useful life - the unit gives a warning when it considers this the case.into a laptop which can then turn off when the power drops (or increases) which then allows it to cleanly shut-down.

Safety-agency approved Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment. This may be a budget friendly model for both home and office use but it does look very nice on paper so let’s see what it has to offer. IF it's reliable I will get another one for my AV system - partly for the Android TV to do a soft shutdown, mostly for the BluRays - same reason as with HDDs.Adjustable voltage sensitivity provides the ability to adapt the UPS for optimal performance in specific power environments or generator applications. I really don't want the children waking up in a panic every time we have a brief power cut at night! We had a power supply problem that damaged a lot of tech in the flats i live in but anything that was plugged in here was OK.

As such, it is different from the many battery-based chargers for mobile devices or a mini 'powerstation' as advertised for camping or solar charging. Due to the size, weight and delicate nature of Data and Server Cabinets, specialist couriers are required so they arrive on site in pristine condition. The unit has UK power sockets, so no hunting for the special computer mains cables needed with other UPS supplies. One tiny flicker of the lights and my heart sinks due to the router having to restart and the mesh then working out how to be useful again once the router ges in touch with it. Easy and effective if you just want a safe and automatic way of powering down your Mac in the case of a power cut.

then an UPS is a must; connect the (now included) USB cable and the UPS will show up as a battery, effectively turning your NAS, server, desktop, etc.

Of course, these models also feature user replaceable and hot-swappable batteries (RBC17 model - up to 5 years life expectancy), audible alarms, building wiring fault indicator, user adjustable voltage sensitivity, automatic self-test, resettable circuit breaker and intelligent battery management (ensures optimal battery charging). Anyway, I was just going to send it back when I though to open it up (thankfully easy) and immediately noticed the cable dangling around.Mine is on a pair of steel riser shelves (it is long) - heatsink and decent air circulation plus I can hide away all the PSUs. This specific line of Back-UPS uninterrupted power supplies by APC includes just two models with rather limited capacities (650VA, 400W/850VA, 520W) making it clear from the get go that they can be used with pretty much any electrical device found in homes and offices (still not the ideal choice for sensitive equipment).
