APC BE650G1 Back-UPS 650 VA 8-outlet Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) (Replaces BE650G)

UPS is a good value for its size and for short (depending on the load) periods of power loss, it is a reliable backup/surge protector for my computer, and other electronic devices at home. I presently own three of the UPS 650's, one of which replaced my 550 in 2019. The original three units, except for the replacement were purchased in 2008 and 2009.

I suppose I will now really know until the power goes out, but it appears to be working well for now. Since I had changed from a desktop computer and monitor to a laptop, my electrical load requirements had decreased and I figured I could move downward from my present APC, a BX1300G, to this one that I bought, the BE650G1, which only has one battery instead of 2 like the BX1300G. That way when I need to replace the battery, it is only one instead of two. As it turned out, I decided to move the BX1300G over to the TV, cable box, Blue Ray player, etc., which I presently had on just a standard surge protector. All worked out well, I would say.
