I'm just fustrated as hell right now with the APC Back-UPS. I have purchased 3 units, 2 back-ups Office 350va's and 1 back-ups ES 650.
Within two years of purchase one 350 and the 650 have crapped out. The 350 was just beeping it's ass off one night (happened about 2 1/2 years ago) and the 650 is sitting here clicking away. Just confused out of it's mind. Doesn't know whether to say it's on or off. It's just as well. The 650 was giving me problems for the last 6 months telling my computer it was low on battery and shutting it down for no reason. I wasn't even using the monitoring anymore because of it (I was actually thinking it was my "in need of a reload pc that was acting flakey. WRONG!")
Living in a new development is an issue as power outages are quite frequent. I need to at least give my computers SOME kind of notice to avoid that serious crash.
Now I have to go out and spend more money on one of these home versions of office equipment. FUCKING SUCKS! But guess who's not getting another nickle from me? YOU GOT IT! APC!!
I think I'll try TrippLite. They're actually local to me here in Chicago. I can always go break there window with their equipment if it fails.
Thanks for letting me rant. I couldn't find anyone else on the net with a similar deal.
