Product description

APC UPS/Surge Protector

Features

High-performance protection: This protector provides an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) as well as protection against surges and spikes that travel over phone/fax/modem and high-speed Internet lines.

Backup time: This UPS offers up to 65 minutes of backup time at 80VA/50 watts.

Graceful shutdowns: This device offers 550VA/330 Watts of output—enough power for most PCs and an assortment of peripherals. If power is not restored, the included software will gracefully shut down your PC for you, so that no data is lost.

Connections: This device features eight outlets—all with surge protection and four that also feature battery backup.

Alarms: Don't worry about running out of power, this protector has alarms to indicate when the battery is being used, when battery power runs low or when there is a continuous overload.

It is only 48 minutes of backup
Review posted on May 13, 2007

As of 5/12/07 this Circuit City ad states it has 65 minutes of backup. Upon picking up the product, I realized the box says it is only 48 and there is nothing to be done about it by calling customer service.

I chose this item based on the reviews. I feel better with it than without it. Only time will tell if it is good as advertised.

It's a necessity with the lousy A/C service I have!

After sending many DVR's back to my satellite company, I decided to try this UPS. In addition to the usual power-outage protection, it also helps during the short brown-outs and blackouts I get. My latest DVR has not suffered the same problems as the previous units. I used to blame the software that was used on the DVR when all this time it was my power company's fault!
