APC Back-UPS ES 725

We have multiple computers in our house, and most of them go into standby when not in use. While this does save electricity versus leaving them on all the time, it's still not zero. I have UPS's on all the computers to prevent any issues with surges on...

APC Back-UPS ES 725

I have owned APC ups in the past. Although they are good at the hardware part of it. They are not very good at the support software, or support for that matter. APC needs to invest a bit more in support services as well as monitoring software. I have...

Works well.

I bought this unit in 2006. It's now 2010 and it still works. If you install the software that goes with it, it will remind to replace the batteries at some point (2009?), but I ignored it because if the power goes out for more than 30 seconds, it's...

No Auto Shutoff

They claim it has auto shutoff but this UPS does not have a data fort so there is no way to properly run this. Besides that the price is good but wrong information is never good.
