Review: Being Honest - Many of the negative reviews imo aren't really understanding that this is a cheap UPS. If you want a UPS that auto turns off your PC during outages, has longer batter life, can handle higher voltage, etc, then you're 100% looking at the wrong UPS! This UPS does exactly what it claims. It's a small UPS you should use more as a surge protector and to handle small power outages. It's cheap for a reason, though when you actually get a hold of it, I was impressed by the quality it felt like in this price range. I've bought various UPS's over the years. Some are very expensive, where some I got for $50 like this. When I buy cheap ones like this, it's usually to handle my home lab switches or router. I use this for things that don't take much power. If you have a low end PC or a laptop, this would also be perfect for you. By low end, I majorly mean your GPU doesn't hog a butt load of energy. If you're using 2 GPU's, or you have something like a 3090, then you may need to think about getting a UPS that can handle something bigger. But this in my opinion is a fantastic UPS. It delivers quite dang well for this price range. Seriously, it's a really good UPS and I think this is the 4th one I've bought so far. Not that any have broke, I just have a lot of UPS's (I run a business with servers, have a home lab, and more). And I've ran these little UPS's through the ringer. One of them in particular, I've definitely run more than I should. I put a server on one of them that also has 2 GPU's in the server that mines at the same time (might as well since it's on 24/7 anyways). I'm definitely capping out what this thing was built to handle, yet it handles it like a champ. Again, not saying that this is what you should use this one for haha. But I've been quite happy with this UPS. But again, most the negative reviews I've seen are people complaining about aspects of this UPS that in my opinion, aren't aspects in any UPS you'll get within this price range. For example, my file server doesn't use that much electricity. But it's mission critical that it never shuts down and that it automatically turns off before the UPS dies. I spent I think like $300 to $400 on a UPS for that server. When I got that expensive UPS, I ran various tests, was quite unhappy, returned it, and replaced it with another within the same price range. I get being picky, I really do, but I also understand the difference in pricing. When I spend $300+ on a UPS, I am looking for various features, battery life, and more. But this UPS imo offers a ton of qualities beyond the small price tag. So, this was majorly me ranting about the few who disliked the UPS because they expected more, but know I've bought various of these, I'm incredibly happy with them, and for 99.99% of people, I think they'd be perfectly happy with this.
Review: Perfect little UPS for router backup...WITH a few modifications! - For years I have used older or larger versions of Schneider UPS. This one is just what I wanted to run my 20 watt router during outage. However, I am not satisfied with a UPS that runs only an hour or two. True that most outages here last only a few minutes so that is great, but I live in hurricane country and need something that will last through my nightly TV viewing at least. The battery in the small unit I purchased CAN BE REPLACED or expanded easily if you have the skills and secure storage location. You can find one on desertcart or eBay for $16 or so. Is that so much?? Let's face it, you can't expect little AGM batteries to last forever, esp. if they cycle, but I find the Mighty Max brand bought here on desertcart has an amazing life and number of cycles. i even use one in my Prius which outlasts the OEM x 4. To open the case there are four little Phillips head screws on bottom.. The connections are the standard for this type battery, and you just slip off and install a new battery. See pics. I just clipped off the connectors and wired the unit to two of the OLD Mighty Max 34ah AGM batteries I had collecting dust. In parallel, of course, to maintain the same 12 volts. Obviously if you mistakenly wire them in series you will double the volts and damage the unit most likely. So for no extra money I turned this $49 UPS into one that is better than a $200 UPS for my small load. Of course, I would never try to put a bigger load on it and don't advise overloading the inverter in this unit. Don't do this if you are not a good electrician or have kids or animals or other potential accident victims around and don't have secure storage. But I have used similar for years and works fine and lasts a long time. The expanded UPS in my picture is safely in the attic, and the Mighty Max AGM batteries I use won't leak and are stable. I will sell the unused little battery that came with it on eBay to someone who needs a replacement. Replacement frequency all depends on time, temperature, how many cycles the unit experiences, depth of discharge etc. Some users may get a longer life than others. The other good thing about this is that the little UPS uses only 6 watts standby. That's great as I count every kwh I use. Do you want phantom loads constantly drawing a lot of energy for nothing. So what if internet goes out for a minute. Go have some tea and relax!! Unless you have something really critical connected. If so, you need to take steps to make sure your UPS is strong enough to handle the load for as long as necessary. BTW, in some of my earlier "expanded" UPS systems I was using a Schneider UPS, and those models actually had a socket for adding an expensive auxiliary battery which I adapted in a manner similar to what I created here on this little unit so it is not an original idea but not strictly taboo either....I guess we will see! My unit is set to not beep when power goes off which keep me from being disturbed at night if there is a brief outage.

## 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, but more sensitive devices may need an upgraded UPS (like our Back-UPS Pro models)

**Q: Why is the mute button not working?**
A: This Back-UPS BE425M is able to temporarily mute user-correctable alarms (such as 'On-Battery'). Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification cannot be temporarily muted, and in these cases the unit must be turned off

I purchased the APC UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector (BE425M) to protect my modem, router, and a few other small electronics, and it has been absolutely perfect. We've had a couple of brief power outages recently, and this little unit kept my Wi-Fi running strong the entire time. No dropped Zoom calls or lost work—huge relief! The size is compact and unobtrusive, so it fits easily on my desk without taking up much space. Setup was a breeze—just plug it in and go. I also love that it has a mix of battery backup and surge-only outlets, so I can prioritize what needs power most during an outage. APC is a trusted brand, and this unit lives up to their reputation. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable UPS for home or office use, this is a no-brainer. Highly recommended!
