APC is a popular battery
backup manufacturer, and I use 4 of their backup units in my home, one for the
TV and cable-box , one on home security system, and two on computers and
monitors. One of the backups on a computer failed this week, and I ordered the model above after
seeing it had 3,000 outstanding customer reviews on Amazon (retained 4.5 stars
after that many reviews), and it qualifies for prime shipping. At a price of
$56 it was hardly more expensive than a replacement battery for the failing
unit.
It has many advantages in
powering technology items. For example
it has many outlets and thus replaces the need for a power strip. And it adds surge
protection in addition to the battery backup to save wear and tear on equipment or
loss of data and stability. It is a nice size, I think, but if you have another
favorite style or brand please comment below.
