How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?
Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices.
Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?
Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will revert o passing utility power to connected electronics.
Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?
This Back-UPS has a typical transfer time of 6ms to 10ms to switch to battery power when the main power goes out. The transfer time is fast enough that most devices will not experience a power drop when the UPS transitions to battery power.
Can I plug the UPS to an extension cord or does it have to be plugged in to a wall outlet?
In order for your UPS to get the best power available, it should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. Plugging your UPS into a surge protector may cause the UPS to go to battery often when it normally should remain offline.
Which battery replacement should I purchase and from where?
The Back-UPS BE850G2 internal battery has a lifespan of up to 5 years, depending on the usage and maintenance of the battery. When the battery is ready to be replaced, you can purchase model RBC17 directly from APC.

So far, I've seen very little issue with them, even getting some usage on the devices that are plugged into them during a power outage (although I usually unplug those devices from them to preserve the battery life in case the power is out for 3 or more days again, intending on using that battery life to charge my phone if necessary). I'm impressed with their performance so far & really have nothing to say negative about them for the time being. The only thing I can really say is to watch what outlets you plug your devices into if you want battery backup on them; 2 of the outlets on the device do NOT provide battery backup, only surge protection.
UPDATE: I have purchased 6 of these since July 09, 2021, I had my first one conk out tonight (early morning) on December 17, 2023, resulting in a shrill, never-ending beep & not powering anything. This was one of the first ones I purchased, which has had heavy use on it from a gaming computer that is almost never turned off. It worked well while I was using it, although I will point out it don't last long when the power is out with the computer using power off of it (normally the PC is turned off in a power outage). I moved one of the newer ones from my bedroom into the office to replace the one that went out for my computer & have ordered another to replace it (this being my seventh one).
UPDATE: The earliest I have had one of these conk out was a little over 6 months (another one going out tonight on 2/2/2024), so life of this device varies; I think I might start getting the extended warranty when I purchase a new one (I probably could have gotten a free replacement on this last one to go out)...
From the get-go, the setup process was a breeze, allowing me to connect all my essential components simultaneously. Whether it's my computer, monitor, or modem, everything now runs through this single, efficient unit. The convenience of having everything tied into one reliable source cannot be overstated.
The surge protection feature provides immense peace of mind. Living in an area prone to sudden electrical surges, I've always worried about the safety of my electronics. This device has put those fears to rest. The first time we experienced a power surge, the Battery Backup and Surge Protector lived up to its promise, safeguarding my equipment without a hitch.
But the real game-changer has been the battery backup functionality. The ability to keep my computer running during a power outage is invaluable, especially when unsaved work is at stake. It gives me ample time to save my documents and shut down properly, preventing potential data loss and hardware damage. This level of protection and reliability is exactly what anyone working from home, gaming, or simply managing a digital household needs.
In conclusion, this Battery Backup and Surge Protector is a must-have for anyone looking to protect their tech investments while ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Its ability to support multiple components, combined with exceptional surge protection and battery backup, makes it a standout product. Highly recommended for the peace of mind and reliability it brings to any tech setup!
