Outstanding UPS -- with Expandable Battery Capacity!
By Christopher Nielsen
This product is woefully under-appreciated, and often overshadowed by APC's "non-XL" Smart-UPS models. (For example, the popular Smart-UPS 1500VA, model SUA1500.) The non-XL Smart-UPS models are great products, but they lack one key feature of the XLs: expandable battery capacity.Said expandability allows one to daisy-chain up to 10 (!!!) external battery packs -- model SUA24XLBP, product name "Battery Pack for Smart-ups 24v Black" -- providing an amazing amount of potential runtime!Beyond the expandable battery capacity, the Smart-UPS XL series has all of the same features -- and the same outstanding power filtering/protection -- as the non-XL Smart-UPS models. That includes "line-interactive" operation, which provides true Sine Wave output -- and virtually no delay when switching to backup power. Another notable feature: the Smart-UPS XL series can be used when running on power provided by a backup generator. Inexpensive UPS models cannot!And finally, there is an important thing to know relative to the load capacity of the Smart-UPS XL 1000VA. While this product is rated as providing 1,000 VA (volt-amps) of output power, the "real" capacity is 800 Watts. By comparison, the non-XL-series Smart-UPS 1500VA has a capacity of 980 Watts. The point? The Smart-UPS 1500VA does not have 50% more load capacity as you might expect. And the Smart-UPS XL 1000VA is darn close!The bottom line? You cannot get better power protection -- or more expandability -- without paying significantly more!

By Tim
This UPS is everything you'd want it to be. I use it for backing up my saltwater reef aquarium. It has a pure sine wave power output, so I have no issues with my reef equipment: pumps, lights, heaters, fans, etc. I bought both the UPS unit which contains batteries, and an additional battery pack, which is also superb. The battery pack simply plugs into the main UPS with one plug, that's it.I never thought I'd use the software, which I feel high-end computer users would use and I know that telecommunications companies use (my former career), but son-of-a-gun, I use it. It's so easy to install on the laptop, then I just connect the UPS to the laptop with an included USB cable, the open the software and it tells me the quantity and duration of power outages, and detailed info on battery life, charge time, etc. It also lets you set parameters such as how many of the extra batteries (if any) you have attached, which is very important in order to understand how much time your equipment can keep running while the power is out. There are plenty of other parameters that can be adjusted, such as alarms, and any type of special protocols the user wants to specify, such as setting the point during a power outage (UPS in use) that the UPS does a soft shut down of it's own components/battery in order to save the battery from being completely drained.It's a great product and I highly recommend it for this VERY alternate use!

By Joseph S,
This unit works well, of course. What really sets it apart from lesser brands is that you can buy an external battery for it which increases the hold up time at max load from a few minutes to well over half an hour. APC has a "hold up time" chart on their web site that shows hold up time vs load for the base unit, with one external battery, and with two external batteries. Amazon didn't carry the external battery, so we bought that directly from APC. We really needed the hold up time, so the ability to connect an external battery was required. Works exactly as we hoped.
