Customer Reviews

APC is a trusted brand
I have had this for over 4 years now and have been very happy with it. There is a helpful windows program to shut down your PC in the case of a long term power loss. There is no Linux support (running Ubuntu 8.04). This is not very powerful so could only support a smaller desktop or laptop. I have been using it on my laptop.

Don't order this...they send the wrong model
I ordered this because it said it was model BE650G. They sent a repackaged BE650R. I returned it for an exchange specifying I wanted the BE650G and they sent me another repackaged BE650R. This is a previous generation of the product.

Poor quality control - defective unit out of the box
Out of the box, this battery backup was making a loud buzzing sound constantly, all the time, even after over 36 hours plugged in. Initially I thought it was the sound it makes while charging but it turns out it was defective. It seems like APC has quality control issues, big time.

I am returning my unit to Amazon for a refund. I contacted APC and they wanted to replace it for me however I prefer to buy another product instead since I do not trust APC's workmanship.
