  • APC is really expensive : (

  • dude why not hook one up to ur ac or take a shower maybe

  • In my area I haven't had a power outage/fluctuation in over 6 years. And when it did happen, it had a real reason, not random. But It's still good just in case.

  • gona buy one :)

  • Good vid, but try to tell things only one time =]

    Greets!

  • The usb cord should be bundled with a software cd (if not go to tripp lite's website and download it for free). I'm not too familiar with their software, but mostly all of the major ups manufactures give you the option to adjust surge tolerance, disable the power outage beeper, check battery status, run time and some sort of auto shut off / auto save feature. I use mostly apc and cyberpower ups's, they all seem to have the same software features.

  • hey i have a tripp light battery backup and it came with a usb for pc do u know what its for and how do i make it tell me how much battery is left thanks

  • Yeah Battery Backups are wonderful. I own a 550VA OPTI-SAFE one and it came in handy a few weeks ago when our power went out for 30 minutes. It kept my DSL modem/router powered and let me use my laptop to stay in touch with friends. Great video of UPS's

  • Dude is like me when I'm outta smokes..... can't figure out what to do with my hands.

  • Hmm, not sure where to start, there is so much information missing. You have not commented on the different technologies of UPS systems in the market nor the 9 differnent power problems that exist. The only things mentioned are a brand and a VA size. A larger the VA size does not necessarily mean a better UPS. The APC model you have shown is the bottom of the line and will only protect from power outages, sags and spikes or 3 of the 9 know power problems. Buy a technology, not a brand.
