Customer Review: Unacceptable behavior from an "Uninterruptible" Power Supply
Summary: 1 Stars
The battery backup for the longest time seemed to work well. It has had to kick in several times since I bought it and had always kept my computer up and running. I tend to shut down quickly after an outage, so I have not really tested how long the battery will last. However, its latest behavior caused me to downgrade its rating to one star.
After two years of reasonable service, it has begun to behave erratically and unacceptably. Twice, it has simply shut off while I was using my computer. This is exactly the opposite of what a UPS is designed for! It is supposed to keep your computer running, not shut it off unexpectedly.
I have a major issue with the power switch. It is a rather cheap toggle button rather than a rocker switch like most have. Because of this, the switch tends to stick a lot. By this I mean it goes down and then doesn't spring back up, and the unit will not turn on or off until it springs back. I sometimes have to kick it to get the switch back up.
The software is good, not great. It keeps track of how many times the unit has intervened, but you cannot get details on individual interventions except for the last one. And you can view the number of interventions in the past 1, 4, 12, or 24 weeks, but you cannot pick any other intervals. You do get fairly nice customization of when and how it intervenes.
All in all, this backup seemed promising to start out, but unexpected shutdowns from an "uninterruptible" power supply are simply inexcusable. Better luck next time, APC.
