APC UPS ES 750

Quick review of my new apc es 750 va (450 watt) ups that is being used with a quad core desktop. Since it has the apc name, I know that it is going to be very reliable and any servicing needed will be simple and easy. I bought this unit for multiple reasons, one being for the extra wattage (from 200 to 450 from my old es 350) and the green feature. The ups offers a lot of power and features, but lacks avr that many of it's rivals have as standard. One thing to consider when buying this ups and others is the type of power they put out when on battery. This ups puts out a modified / jagged sine wave waveform, which is acceptable for most standard desktops and appliances, but certain desktops with pfc power supply units, nightlights and things like rechargable electrical shavers will not work well with the modified sine wave waveform. The unit has great build quality and is quality control checked before it leaves the factory. The design is also another plus with a shinny plastic insert (top of unit) surrounded by a durable black mat finish body. This is my second apc product (the first is 10 years old and counting) and seeing how well the first one has served me, I expect this unit to last at least the same. The only thing I have to worry about is the occasional battery replacement (2-4 years on average) and dusting around the top of the unit every now an then. I hope you guys enjoyed this review and if your interested in getting your own apc es 750, the unit is readily available in stores and online.

This APC UPS is one of the worst.... If someone think about protection, at least a SmartUPS is required...

[sirmasterpimp]

@grobylev that's your opinion dude, I've been using an ES series since 2003 with no problems besides normal battery replacements. What specific examples can you list that suggests this unit is bad ?

The only thing I can think of is the modified sine wave output, which will work fine with a normal PSU like mine.......If your looking for a ups for a gaming rig, you shouldn't even be looking at a sub $100 ups.

[NYClacrosse]

please tell me that you are not using that for a pc :( that model produces square waves instead of sine waves, and square waves will kill your power supply very quickly, you can pick up a decent sine wave ups on ebay, but make sure it has new batteries, if not you run the chance on getting a steal for a seemingly perfect ups, yet its batteries are useless

[sirmasterpimp]

@NYClacrosse Yep, it's connected to my desktop and monitor......I don't have an expensive gaming rig with an active PFC power supply, so I'm not worried. The only reason I didn't go pure sine is the replacement battery cost.....This takes only $20 (single 8 ah 12 volt cell) vs over $100 (multiple 20 ah cells wired in series for 24 volts) with pure sine ups systems.

After around 8 power cuts since I bought this ups, everything is still working perfectly

Thanks for stopping by :)

I have 2pcs battery car which is 12v each, then is this possible that i can replace my ups battery into car battery? thanks

[sirmasterpimp]

@circles122345 You can, but the results wouldn't be as good as you would think. The problem is that a regular flooded car battery gives off slightly less voltage than a standard ups battery. Standard ups batteries have the AGM technology which allows them to be deep cycled an hold a slightly higher voltage. You would need to buy an expensive AGM car battery (optima spiral cell) to get the ups to run for just about 3 - 4 hours. A regular car battery will run between 40 min - 1 1/2 hours.

can i use this on a pc with a 1200 watt power source?

[NYClacrosse]

@tardspotter that does not even make any sense lol what are you 5 or something?

[TheTardSpotter]

@grobylev you only need SmartUPS if your a total faggot with a very high powered dildo for your ass.

[TheTardSpotter]

@NYClacrosse ah yes, I see, well if you continue using a high powered illuminated dildo for your dumbass, you would have to be concerned about sine vs. square waves. You should have known this as an obvious faggot. So to summarize, use your dildo for your ass without connecting it to the backup supply, try a battery powered one or maybe straight into the mains. Have a good day my fine feathered queer.
