APC Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V

Lay your typical two slice toaster on its side and that would be the approximate footprint of this back up device but it's easily three or four times heavier. Having said that we wall mounted ours (due to cable lengths & equipment locations) in a vertical orientation. One has an option to wall mount horizontally or vertically. The battery is the heaviest part of the assembly and is easily replaced should the need ever occur. After installing and plugging the back up into a 110 volt source the battery was fully charged later the next day. But the instructions state this so we were expecting it. We have our desk top computer, DSL modem & Wi-Fi router plugged into the "battery backup + surge protection" side and the all in one printer plugged into the "surge protection" only side. Last night we had a local thunder storm momentarily interrupt power to the house. We happened to be watching a TV show streaming over the Internet at the time. Although the TV went off and then back on the streaming TV show never dropped a byte. I jumped up to check status of the desk top and it was still on. The printer was rebooting but, I presume, was not compromised in any way by the power interrupt. Prior to have this battery back up the computer would have shut down instantly and the modem / Wi-Fi router would have to be reset. This item worked as we expected and we are pleased with the purchase. Tried to upload a photo of our installation but Wally's Web Site kept timing out.
