Interesting... - The Smartups rack mount 1500 is LONG, meaning it's deep. It runs almost as deep as a 1u server. The SmartUPS is also a bit thinner than this replacement unit. Ah, but this unit is 'shorter'. The old SmartUPS was on full depth rack rails, and needed them. They screwed in front and back. This new unit is a 3u vertical space, but is less than half the depth of the previous unit. Tradeoffs? But I didn't want to have to put another massive unit in the top of this rack. I still can't remember who decided to put it 'up there', but it makes some sense, I suppose. (If it ever floods?) And I had the extra space for this taller unit. But this APC unit is not as heavy, and is smaller, so it's a win win. Setup was generally a breeze. This also includes the network attachment included: nice. Oh, and they threw in a cable too! Nice, thanks APC! This unit is perfect for two post racks. It's perfect for short racks, it's not really meant to be sitting on someone's desk, or table, but I suppose it could be put anywhere. And the face of this unit looks very impressive. I really like the aluminum face of this model. It might be a pain to get it off at some point, but it looks awesome. 5*... Review: Even at its premium price, does as described. - Works as expected! High efficiency also equates to low heat. Great for the home office. ## Features - 1000VA / 800W Pure Sine Wave UPS battery backup - Output Connections: (6) NEMA 5-15R (Battery Backup Outlets) - Multi-function LCD status and control console: Online/On Battery, SmartConnect Status, Network Status, Event Detected and Replace battery - Includes an installed Network Management card as well as APC SmartConnect.

High efficiency also equates to low heat. Great for the home office. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good when it works *by T***E on May 4, 2023* Bought my unit in Feb of 2021 with the complete intention that I won't ever have to address battery replacement in it. Paid a premium for Lithium Ion. Well, a battery went bad. Maybe twice it's had to use battery power ever. These things have 10-12 year warranties. Now, Tech support was amazing and helpful, but here's the catch with this one. They DON'T have replacement batteries yet because they didn't expect them to fail. So they are sending me a new unit. Cool, right? Nope..because what I want to do it just take the battery out of the new unit they send us and hot-swap the battery ONLY so that I don't have to bring down my company for an hour or so....But APC support says that I have to replace the WHOLE unit...just because. So, what normally would have been a 2-minute hot-swap job with ZERO company downtime, is gonna take me over an hour of my time, and the company will be unable to access servers for a while. If you can google this battery SKU (APCRBC164-LI) and there are some out there, then this is a decent unit. But until then, proceed with GREAT caution. **Update: So after some back and forth via email with APC support, they are going to let me just take the battery out of the new one they send me, and let me hot-swap it. I updated it to 4 stars from 2 because they made the logical decision. I am leaving one star off at least for now because they said I "could hot swap the battery, but they may contact me at some later date and ask for the old unit back". In my opinion, if they want the full old unit back, this is unacceptable. They don't have the warrantied battery in stock. In my opinion, they just make this right and leave it alone. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS, 1000VA Smart-UPS Lithium-Ion UPS with SmartConnect and NMC, SMTL1000RM2UCNC, Pure Sine Wave, Short-Depth 120V Uninterruptible Power Supply - APC UPS Network Management Card 3, Newest Model 2020 (AP9640) - APC 1500VA Smart UPS with SmartConnect, SMC1500-2UC Rack Mount UPS Battery Backup, Sinewave, AVR, 120V, Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/455090292-ups-1000va-smart-ups-lithium-ion-ups-with-smartconnect-nmc](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/455090292-ups-1000va-smart-ups-lithium-ion-ups-with-smartconnect-nmc) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
