Good. As everyone said, batteries died 1 year later. I had to pay money to replace them
UPS is good, excellent backup. Very stable power. I game on the PC it is connected to. Never has it once died due to overload or anything.On the downside, as everyone in the comments warned, the batteries died in a year just after warranty of the battery. I had to get them replaced. Of course I had to get Exide ones as the original APC ones are expensive. Then one of the exide batteries immediately decided to give out and I had to replace it again. Also, the fan is REALLY LOUD. On the upside, it runs only when the UPS is drawing power from the battery in case of a power outage, or if it is charging. And if the UPS is fully drains, it’ll take about 8 hours to fully charge, so expect the LOUD fan to run LOUDLY for 8 hours. you learn to drown out the noise eventually, but yeah it is there.On yeah, APC replaced by unit as well. When the batteries changed, I wasn’t getting proper backup due to the bad battery, and they first replaced the unit. then realized it’s not a unit problem and replaced the batteries again.Being a professional UPS, NBD warranty is present. Which is why I was okay with them replacing my unit.But overall it has been a good UPS.

Great UPS with good enough time to safely turn off your system
This product seems to have gotten a lot of unexpected criticism. I’ve seen reviews where people said that they don’t get enough backup, or that it can only handle upto 200W, but my experience with this product has been very different.To give some context, I have a rather powerful system that needs ~580W during gaming and ~150W for idle/casual purposes. Before the purchase of this UPS, I had 2 UPS, one dedicated for my CPU, and 1 for all the peripherals (Monitor, mouse, keyboard, everything). The reason I had 2 was because I wanted to minimise the load of the UPS that was supporting my CPU. But, despite this, the UPS would overload.This lead me to purchase a bigger, stronger UPS and so I bought this one. At the time of purchase, I didn’t read these reviews, and only saw them 1 day before delivery. Reading these, I was nervous about what I had just invested in.Once the UPS had arrived, I replaced the one I used for my CPU with this one, and all the other peripherals were still connected to the old UPS just to minimise the load on this UPS. After running up a game, I could see that the CPU was taking ~580W from the UPS, and despite this, the load meter on the UPS’ LCD display only showed ~70%. This was a great sign to me as it meant the UPS could handle the load even when my CPU was running at 100% (I was running a pretty resource demanding game to test this). Seeing this, I was confident that the load capacity of the UPS was sufficient, but I was still skeptical about what would happen if there was an unexpected power cut.And so, I simply turned off the switch to my UPS, and .. nothing happened! The UPS immediately switched to battery, and my game was running perfectly fine. When I checked how much backup I had, the LCD showed that I had roughly 10 mins before the battery would be drained, which to me was more than enough time, as I usually close my games/applications and turn off my system when the power goes off.Two very important thing I want to point out here is that1. This UPS has a 15W plug. I called the support and they told me that I could connect this to a 5W socket by using a converter without any issues. But, I didn’t do that, instead I connected my UPS to a 15W socket itself just to be on the safer side.2. I already said this before, but I’ll say it again, just in case. I only connect my CPU to this UPS. All other peripherals are connected to another, much smaller UPS (600VA / 360W). I do this because I use dual monitors (34″ ultra wide and a 27″). So the other reviewers may have been connecting all their peripherals to this UPS itself, hence the load would be higher since the UPS is supporting more than just the CPU.

WARNING!! DON’T BUY IF YOU HAVE A GAMING PC!!!
ðð:ðð: I made the mistake of buying this piece of junk, thinking it can support loads of 865W but in reality it is not able to support 450W which is approx half of it. In fact it cannot support any load above 250W. Its true wattage is 250W and 865W is fake don’t fall into their trap!!! Repeating Dont buy if you have a gaming pc!!!ð ððð ððððð: I purchased this piece of junk on 17th May 2024 from Amazon for my gaming PC. The area where I live has daily powercuts for 30mins, so i needed a UPS and decided to go with this because it has 865W load support, I read other reviews on amazon which claimed it doesn’t work for 600W, but I thought they may have received defective product and still went ahead with it. The day I received it I tested it while gaming and the load it showed on the UPS was 450W and as soon as the power went the PC turned off. I wasn’t sure so I tested on my own removed the power supply of the UPS while gaming and every time the PC turned off!. I though this unit is also defective so I called APC support, registered a support case with them and received call from support engineer who said he will visit the site to check the UPS. Meanwhile the engineer told me to some troubleshooting like removing the batteries from the UPS and reattaching them again and running the UPS Self Test from APC’s PowerChute app and nothing worked. So the technician suggested that battery is faulty and he will bring the new batteries when he visits my home. After 5 days the technician visited my home and brought the batteries with him, we replaced the old batteries with new one and did the same removed UPS plug while gaming and again same thing happens the PC turns off!. The engineer tried changing some settings in their PowerChute app but nothing worked the PC would turn off everytime while gaming. Then we tried switching off the power when we were not gaming and to our surprise it was able to keep the pc running, So we tested and figured out it wouldn’t support load above 250W if there is a sudden power cut. The technician called his supervisor and explained the issue to him the supervisor knew this issue and told me:This UPS has stepped sine wave. Todayâs high-end PC have power supplies with active power factor correction (Active PFC). Active PFC circuits can be sensitive to changes in input power. When this type of equipment is connected to a UPS system with simulated/stepped sine wave output, unexpected shutdown may occur resulting in data loss or equipment damage. Shutdown can occur because simulated sine wave output has a power gap in each cycle. When the UPS system switches to battery current, a power supply with an Active PFC circuit may detect that power gap and shut itself down.This was what was happening with PC it was shutting down everytime the power goes out because this is a stepped sine wave UPS. The supervisor suggested me to return this junk back and amazon was nice enough to offer me refund for this product after I talked with the customer support.So Don’t bother investing in this or any stepped/simulated sine wave UPS. Only buy pure sine wave UPS if you have a Gaming PC.
