Review: Did not last 6 months then showed an error.I examined the case and observed melted plastic near the transformer.Took the machine apart and found the transformer wires are aluminium and the connection with the board was twisted together and soldered (solder would not take to this)Not sure how this gets a CSA pass. mr carlsons lab on you tube found the same.I don't want this replaced.Source a safer make.
Review: Doesn't perform at all as advertised. I bought it to act as a UPS for my A/V system, which is a little persnickety and my city's power grid is suspect. The output ranges between 115V to 118V at any given time, and doesn't protect my equipment at all from power fluctuations, even with the sensitivity set at max. Load sits at 6% so I'm not taxing it whatsoever. At this price, I would expect more. I can't even return it because of desertcart's policies, so I have a $200 paperweight. UPDATE - On Friday, September 13, there was a lightning storm in my area. Both my A/V receiver and my cable box were connected to the Battery/Surge strip, and both fried. While there's an insurance coverage policy with this product, I feel that I can't take advantage due to the fact that I bought the audio receiver some time ago used and the cable box is a rental. Still, I have to question whether I got a faulty unit or whether this product just doesn't work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?**
A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices.

**Q: Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?**
A: Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will revert o passing utility power to connected electronics.

**Q: Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?**
A: This Back-UPS has a typical transfer time of 6ms to 10ms to switch to battery power when the main power goes out. The transfer time is fast enough that most devices will not experience a power drop when the UPS transitions to battery power.

**Q: Can I plug the UPS to an extension cord or does it have to be plugged in to a wall outlet?**
A: In order for your UPS to get the best power available, it should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. Plugging your UPS into a surge protector may cause the UPS to go to battery often when it normally should remain offline.

**Q: Which battery replacement should I purchase and from where?**
A: The Back-UPS BR1000MS internal battery has a lifespan of up to 5 years, depending on the usage and maintenance of the battery. When the battery is ready to be replaced, you can purchase model APCRBC160 directly from APC.
