Comments about APC Back-UPS RS 1300VA LCD 120V:
We use the APC RS 1300 on all our desktop system. We loose power a few times a year, and these systems always perform as expected / advertised. We switch to the APC 1300 about two years ago. At this point, all are still in service and we don't know of any negatives for this product.

Comments about APC Back-UPS RS 1300VA LCD 120V:
I use this backup for a new Mac and associated hardware. I couldn't be happier with the performance. It's gone through two extended power outages and performed flawlessly. We have a generator for the house and I wondered about the 1300VA's abilities during the switchover cycle but there were zero problems. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend in the beginning but it was money well spent.

Comments about APC Back-UPS RS 1300VA LCD 120V:
I have used APC products for many years and all of my family uses them also. They are great, work well and do the job usually better than their specs. Downfall is cost of replacing batteries. However, I have found that generic batteries work just as well for less than 1/2 the APC price, sorry APC.

Prior to this battery backup, I owned a TrippLite that did not last long - it's LCD failed. The great thing about this unit is that it's display will remain off until you press a button to check it's status. I also like the number of outlets that are available for the surge protection/battery backup.

i needed a dependable backup power supply. the led read out on the front panel lets you see line voltage, current draw, time est. at current usage your batteries will last. works as advertised.
