Works as expected when power is shut off. Nice design.

Amazing choice for back - up power!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When unboxing you notice the durability of this. Well made and good weight to it but also very portable! I've been able to use it with many different items and seems to be compatible with most plugs. It has definitely made losing power not so stressful due to its 10 hr battery back up!

See any errors on this page?

Are the USB ports surge-protected and backed up ...

Are the USB ports surge-protected and backed up so they can power a modem or router through an outage?
Asked by: peter
The USB ports on the APC BE500G3 Back-UPS System stay powered during an outage (as long as the UPS still has battery left), but they’re just 5V charging ports, not AC outlets. So if the modem/router is the normal kind with a wall plug power brick, you should plug that brick into one of the 4 battery + surge outlets (not the USB). This UPS has 4 battery and surge outlets and 2 surge-only outlets.
