BACK-UPS ES 650VA Tower UPS

Excellent product. After twenty years I upgraded from a model 600 a model 650. Through all our storms I have not lost a single electronic item plugged into it. Very reliable protection. I highly recommend this item.

I had some trouble removing the battery cover. It took brute force, and I was afraid I would break it, but it held up. Other than it was very easy to set up and has made a massive positive difference in the tangle of wires that used to be under my desk. I am relieved to know that my computer equipment is protected.

The UPS is a basic, home use quality battery backup with surge protection. I use it to protect my PC, monitor, and a printer, as well as two Behringer Model D synths. The only con I had was the wired internet jacks on the unit killed my Internet connection, no matter which way I connected the jacks to the unit. So, my wired connection is not fully protected.

Don't like this survey. Only having the extremes, "like" or "dislike" makes me choose something I seldom agree with. Basically, the battery was easy to select and order, and has met my expectations. My only real complaint was a little difficulty with filling out the warranty form; hard to find the info they ask for. I won't know for probably months how well it works since I have to wait for for power outages, and we don't have many.

This is a good device to have to provide back-up power for small devices. The replaceable battery makes for cheap, continuous usage for a long time to come. Replacement batteries are around $20-$40 dollars, while replacing a whole unit is close to $100. Definitely better than the have-to-throw-away-the-whole-unit back-up power supplies of some other companies.

I suppose I will now really know until the power goes out, but it appears to be working well for now. Since I had changed from a desktop computer and monitor to a laptop, my electrical load requirements had decreased and I figured I could move downward from my present APC, a BX1300G, to this one that I bought, the BE650G1, which only has one battery instead of 2 like the BX1300G. That way when I need to replace the battery, it is only one instead of two. As it turned out, I decided to move the BX1300G over to the TV, cable box, Blue Ray player, etc., which I presently had on just a standard surge protector. All worked out well, I would say.

Purchased a Back-UPS 650 to replace an APC backup with an expired battery. I'd replaced the battery in that unit once. I decided to go with the trade-in option, which was a little more costly than just replacing the battery. I'm very happy with my purchase as it was easy to install and works seamlessly with my Mac OS system. The return procedure for the trade-in unit was easy, too.

Got 2 of these - one dedicated solely for powering my new PC and the other for an old PC and a couple of other electronics. The new PC shorts the unit out occasionally somehow causing it to trip the circuit breaker for that outlet. The outlet is also dedicated just to the one UPS and new PC that's plugged into the battery outlet of that UPS; nothing else plugged into it. I could understand the battery backup not working without enough capacity but I had no idea this was a thing where the UPS itself could be shorted out and cause a circuit break.

This is not what is pictured on the website. I think it is the BE650G, not the BE650G1. The configuration of the outlets and on/off switch is different, and it does not have the four-level LED display from the website description. It is close enough that it's not worth the trouble to send back. I previously purchased the earlier model and did encounter some issues, so I really wanted to try the updated model to see if it worked better.

I liked my old one which I used for 9 years, but the new one has a horrible, very high pitched whine so I have to cover it up at night to bock the noise.
