APC BE750G Power Saving Back-UPS ES

Comment:
My encounter is that APC tends to make trustworthy backup power supplies - just test it as soon as a year or so mainly because ultimately the battery will die. I could say a lot of far more positives, I really like this UPS. I don't assume I like how the "Auto Shutdown" function is implemented: The computer plugs into the battery side into a port labeled 'master', and the 3 auto shutdown outlets are situated on the non-battery side ONLY. I would like at least a single of the auto shutdown outlets to be on the battery backup side. I feel this is crucial mainly because I want my monitor to have battery backup so that when there is a energy failure I can SEE what my personal computer is carrying out and assure that anything is saved and closed adequately, but I would also like my monitor to have its energy reduce when my laptop is off. This situation is not achievable with this UPS. Newegg got it to me inside two days as usual! wonderful!

Operates excellent. Greatest function is the Master-Controlled Outlets! Saves power, which saves money! And, has fantastic uptime following switching to battery. None so far!

new one performs wonderful apc sent me a new one particular following let it charge for 24hrs excellent ccusomer service as well negative initially 1 had a bad battery

Plug it in and go... I have been making use of and promoting APC units for years. I have never ever had an "out of the box" concern and am completely confident in their functionality and reliability. The incorporated Powerchute software program gives you the capability to tweak the settings to your own preference. For Price and Overall performance, these APC units cant be beat! None

I've got this hooked up to my Linux machine (Ubuntu), and it performs out of the box with apcupsd and gapcmon. I just knowledgeable a energy failure (which inspired me to surf here), and had another 1 a couple minutes later. Certainly, this didn't impact me, and I was capable to create the overview. Kinda bulky compare to A Power STRIP, which isn't truly a con mainly because it's a friggin' battery. Weird non-configurable plug setup where three plugs are dependent on a single other a single operating - for some sort of greenie power-saving junk. My personal computer is never ever off, so I just have it plugged into the master port. Excellent solution at a good value.

This is a great UPS, purely! APS knows what they are performing with their units. This 450 unit is ample for a single laptop setup (game rig even). It can really save your behind in brown-out conditions when you want to save work and shutdown! Definitely has for me! Hasn't Failed But(tm). Properly, I coulda offered this unit, oh, three stars due to the fact I feel it's dumb it doesn't have a necklace loop so I could hang it off my lamp ... I didn't get this certain unit from newegg, but I will be picking up a second, or third right here at the egg in the close to future (just want to determine on which wattage of APS brand). I've got an HTPC that demands some lovin, as properly as a quite touchy HDTV.

Excellent price tag for a 750VA. Master controlled outlets are a plus. APC is constantly a winner in my book. NewEgg generally gets them to me in a hurry, which is a plus. No master controlled outlets on the battery side. Would be good to kill the monitor with the CPU shutting down. No point in plugging monitor into surge only side as you can't save function/shutdown when you can't see. We've almost certainly got 15-20 of these in the workplace varying from 1 month to 1.five years old. Have had no failures and all seem to hold their load nicely even after 1.5 years. As the older ones are dying I am replacing them with these.

Simple setup. It shuts off up to three things when you energy down the CPU. None

Comment:
Great cost per value None This is now typical problem on all of our workplace machines alternatively of a power strip. We generally have the computer system, two monitors, and a VOIP telephone hooked up to it. The principal goal is to deal with a momentary energy outage or let a graceful shutdown in the unlikely occasion of a extended energy outage.

Great backup. Has been operating flawlessly for a year. Protected my Computer from energy outages, even with two monitors. Silly me. I used to have two 9800GTs in my Pc, and it worked good. I then got SLI GTX 275s, and that overloaded the poor issue. Even unplugging every little thing else, it still overloaded (started beeping like crazy) when I would load my GPUs (eg. game, stress test, fold).I don't take an egg off simply because this is my own fault. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. I nevertheless have my Computer plugged into it, just not on the battery backup side. Good for medium/low finish PCs that don't need a smaller fusion generator to operate.Computer contents: E8400 @ three.8GHz, two GTX 275s SLI, 4GB DDR2 8500 RAM, 3 HDDs, two DVD drives, eight 120mm fans.

works as advertised and supports my dual screen/gaming rig setup just fine. none

Great solution as soon as I got a functioning model, initial unit was d.o.a. and the free keyboard and mouse the mouse was d.o.a but oh nicely it was absolutely free it founds it way to my trash, the APC assistance was decent they sent out a new unit the day I referred to as and sent by means of e mail free return shipping label. None Finest to be protected I lost all my pc gear via a lightening strike and it came in through the cable not the electric so this model has a cable in and out so we can stop it there next time register product to get the assistance and liability protection.

It does the job and it does it effectively. Day after I got it the energy went out and it kept a full gaming rig with 24 in monitor and surround sound system going effortlessly till i was able to shut anything down safely. Functionality and ease of use. Just place every little thing you don't need back in the box and plug your gear in. Doesn't really require all the functions it has. Other than that, no cons that I can see. It comes with application and adequate wires and equipment to plug just about anything you want into it which is good if you have a lot of stuff but if you're simplistic and just want a plain old UPS with a handful of sockets then you'll be a tiny annoyed by all the additional stuff that takes up space.

Functions out of the box utilizing apcupsd on Ubuntu Server 9.04. Protects my property server, cable modem, and router by supplying coaxial, ethernet, and power surge protection. Battery backup works flawlessly when energy is lost even for a moment. "Master" controlled outlets are actually fairly helpful to have, as I'm capable to plug in a printer to them and when my residence server is down, the printer shuts down as effectively, given that the house server has complete handle over the printer. Slightly heftier than your typical power strip, but this is to be anticipated due to the battery and make high quality of this unit. Barely a con at all. I use mine to guard:Acer easyStore H340 home server (running Ubuntu Server 9.04, making use of apcupsd to control the UPS)Motorola Surfboard cable modemLinksys WRT350N wireless routerHP Deskjet 5650 printerTypical load on the UPS with all of this equipment connected is roughly five%. When on battery backup, load commonly rises to 12% or so and I get roughly 35-40 minutes of battery energy when the power goes out. This enables for plenty of time for apcupsd to take the proper shutdown actions if necessary.

APC seriously does make the very best. They expense a lot more, but you get what you spend for.They just operate, every time... Expensive, but once more, you get what you paid for...

APC applied to be my Very first option, we use their most pricey gear they make in our information center.Price tag is OK, and not also hard to alter the batteries. Alarm would sound if there ever was a power loss, but no indication of how long. Would not switch back to AC mode and you'd need to shut down your laptop to get the alarm to turn off (reset).So soon after two months of light use, I place it away for about six months. Upon needing one again for coding robotics on my notebook, I plugged it in to hear the alarm. No dilemma, dead battery. I'm an electrician AND an electrical tech so I know about batteries far more than most people on the planet. I charged it at function, and did a load test and it stayed above rated voltage (means Incredibly good). Nevertheless, I get the alarm. Quick disassembly noticed no blown caps or traces, no indicators of overheating or damage. APC service tech INSISTED it was the battery. 5 minutes searching on a forum located my APC750 model to have HUNDREDS of alarm complaints, and immediately after APC tells you to buy their OEM battery at โ (the unit didnt price that substantially when on sale). I fall for it. Guess what? Continuous ALARM NOW. APC requirements to stop creating junk. You need to see how this transformer is wired inside. Some wires employing crimp connectors on the receptacles, some SOLDERED. Yeah, thats intelligent...use solder exactly where a higher amp load can MELT the solder and the quick-as-possible wires inside spring off and arc on the transformer or the ground terminal and start out a fire. How this passed UL inspection, I have no concept.Pondering back, I never would have gone with APC, as other producers have LCD screens with diagnostics and line conditioning, eliminating 3rd and 5th harmonics, and so on.

Battery can be replaced if needed, the battery on my old 1 died. Is smaller sufficient to match under my desk and gives sufficient energy to get every little thing shut down in case of an outage. The perecute application that comes with the hardware had some connection problems. There is a know situation with this model and has been for very some time. I just uninstalled the application and employed the OS setting to handle the device. New Egg Rules!

APC namenot overly costly Failed within the 1st week.No energy troubles on web site, unit just shut off taking down a switch that was connected to it.Why would it fail to off instead of fail to 'powerstrip mode' I hope this isn't a symptom of these 'Green' UPS's I normally look at it worthwhile to commit a little a lot more for APC.APC warrantied the UPS, incredibly slowly, but I preserve an additional in stock so I'm not down whilst I wait.

Fairly Economical Owned this for three year and by no means genuinely needed it. Final week I get the 3 year warning to replace the battery. 1 week later it begins to shut down spontaneously. Very a coincidence. Even even though the battery shows 97% charged, when the power went off, it just failed and instantly crashed. Now, don't dare replace the battery due to the fact who knows what the problem is?????
