Battery should be inexpensive to replace in a few years. Without doubt the life of an SLA battery is maximized by not discharging it for long periods when it didn't start out fully charged. Overall Review: CHARGE the battery for 24 hours before use. Failure numbers as high as 5% might be acceptable. Don't expect high quality control standards on a product selling sub $100 these days.

While my unit was perfect, you'll notice several duds and complaints.

No software on CD must be downloaded from APC ( not a con for me, I have multiple APC units on site so the software was sitting on a NAS) The unit was tested a few times during the second week it was here, as the power went out several times a day. Out average outage here is under 30 minutes. That seemed pretty low, but bottom line with a small load of mission critical network gear you should expect the Back UPS 600 to keep you connected fsor most short outages. My phone drawing 5volts at 1 amp is 5 watts on its own. My software reported that I was drawing just 3-6 watts of power while running on battery.

I just bought a nice desk lamp that has a USB charge port on it.Ĭons: PowerChute software has been around long enough that I would expect all little issues to be resolved. I'm seeing this all over the business lately. USB charge port 1.5amps shows engineers are listening to customers.

The unit was detected on my win7/64 laptop USB and windows drivers installed, and then I installed the APC software. Of course age reduces the battery capacity, but if you use this product in your server room, it will keep your web connections and routers running like nothing happened for at least 60+ minutes Estimated run time with the new battery and minimalist load was 3 hours+. Not only did the BU 600 keep my cable modem, gigabit switch and a high end router running without missing a beat, I was even able to keep my phone charging. The day after I installed it the power here went out for over an hour with several outages the following week! This review unit arrived with excellent timing.
