Customer Reviews

Has a major flaw and is NOT UL-Listed
The purpose of this unit is to: 1) supply power for a limited time in the event of power problems (blackout, brownout, overvoltage, etc.) so that you can perform a manual, controlled shutdown of your equipment, and 2) perform an automated shutdown (actually, perform a "hibernation" shutdown) if you are not present. But BEWARE: if you have a larger system, one that takes more than two minutes to complete its hibernation "save" process, the UPS will shut power off before the hibernation process is complete leaving you with no checkpoint recovery. You will get a Windows shutdown but any running programs will probably lose data. This is because the time that the UPS allows for hibernaton to complete is FIXED at 2 minutes and there is no way to change this. I discovered this problem during testing and APC's tech support confirmed this limitiation and recommended that I buy one of their "Smart-UPS" systems instead which has an time allowance that can be set. Just test your "time to hibernate" before you buy, and consider what may happen if you upgrade to a larger system down the road.

In addition, I discovered that the "1300" series of APC Back-UPS models are not UL-listed (Underwriters Laboratories) for ANY standard, including UL-1449, which is an important safety and performance standard for TVSS (transient voltage surge suppressors). I was fooled into thinking that it was by the verbage "meets UL 1449" on APC's website. "Meets" is self-determined and does not mean "tested and listed". I called tech support and asked for a UL certification number and they confirmed that there was none.

Works as advertised but....
A few days after the one year warranty expired, the LCD display went out and it cannot be read without very strong room light and up close. I hope the other components are better quality.

Great Backup!
I have tried 2 different brands of UPS units and this is by far the best I have tried. So far it has worked like it should with no problems.
Would highly recommend it. When you buy one, make sure it is going to be powerful enough for future expansion!
