Just was a plug in and use setup no battery hookup needed

Operated exactly as advertised. This review unit arrived with excellent timing. The day after I installed it the power here went out for over an hour with several outages the following week! Not only did the BU 600 keep my cable modem, gigabit switch and a high end router running without missing a beat, I was even able to keep my phone charging. Estimated run time with the new battery and minimalist load was 3 hours+. Of course age reduces the battery capacity, but if you use this product in your server room, it will keep your web connections and routers running like nothing happened for at least 60+ minutes Management software is a free download. The unit was detected on my win7/64 laptop USB and windows drivers installed, and then I installed the APC software. No eyebrow raisers there. Wall mounting holes a nice touch. USB charge port @ 1.5amps shows engineers are listening to customers. I'm seeing this all over the business lately. I just bought a nice desk lamp that has a USB charge port on it.

Easy to set up and use.

I didn't know what to expect as this is my first purchase of such a device, but it was shockingly heavy for its size. The batteries inside came pre-charged to some extent, as it turned on when I pressed the button on accident while maneuvering it after I plugged them in. Looks to be in great condition, instructions were simple enough, the device functions seemingly as intended.

Fantastic UPS!! Excellent LED that is simple yet very effective for home/office use. Worked perfectly the first test after charging to full.. has saved me MANY times this year during nasty storms and brown outs. You can adjust the sensitivity with the software provided.. Has plenty of time to save your work and shut down. One way to increase your time is using a remote software utility on another computer or phone and plug the monitor into an outlet in the UPS that does not stay on if the power goes out.

Set up easy, works as expected.

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

This UPS was a great solution to support networking equipment (modem, router, switch) that I installed in my basement. It has lots of outlets and the size of the unit was perfect for mounting on the network wall panel.

It's been plugged in and connected at all outlets for about 3 years and I Haven't needed to replace it yet, so I'm buying another one right now. For me, that's about the best pro there is. The unit has a protective cover over the power button, to me that's worth the price of the unit right there...

I work in music recording/mixing studio environments and am extremely fussy about equipment that generates noise. I'm pleased to say that after several months of continuous use, this Li-Ion APC rack unit met and possibly exceeded expectations. When in ideal conditions, the unit is literally silent. No fan noise, no hum, no buzz. The only time noise has been observed is either when the unit is charging (due to a power failure) where very minimal self-noise is inevitable, or in an under-voltage condition (117V or under) where the internal circuitry activates in order to boost the output voltage. In comparison to APC's own legacy units (ie: 2U 750VA-1500VA lead acid monsters) which I have been using for over 15 years - they had frequent noticeable cooling fan noise, and could produce undesirable self-noise when approaching maximum load. And anecdotally, I have had one or two units fail over the years and drop the load.

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

Got this on sale. Power went out for the first time and it just keep everything up without any issues

works great with Ubuntu Linux using apcupsd or upsd

Good runtime for the price. Nice LCD display info. It works!

I use a professional APC Backup unit for my home workstation that has proven extremely reliable and I needed a unit for my wife's new PC setup. Another professional APC unit was overkill for her needs and this unit was exactly what we needed. It's heavy duty enough to keep everything alive during short power outages and it has already proven itself during a few outages we've had recently. The on-board display is handy and the software to monitor the unit is simple to install and use.

Lots Of Outlets LCD Screen for basic input and info. USB Connection for Software Control Good duration

After a lot of research, decided on this for an ESXi host. First off, THANK YOU to CyberPower for making a ridiculously easy to use virtual appliance that can be loaded right in to ESXi. Did not feel like dealing with command line to safely shut down VMs during power failure. Email notifications and level of configuration for the virtual appliance made this a no brainer. This unit seems to be at the high end of the sweet-spot for capacity, price, physical size, and features.

- No proprietary USB connector! This is huge after dealing with APC's terrible proprietary USB connectors for years. - Quiet, only makes a slight hum when charging. - Looks clean and professional. - Display can be configured to shut off or stay on.
