[QUOTE="R2D2, post: 689945, member: 64945"] Only APC for me. Been a customer since 2000-01. Currently using 2 x Smart-UPS 2200 (sine wave units, 4.5 and nearly 7 years old) and a Back-UPS RS 1500 (stepped sine wave, 10 years old) at home. That should give you a good idea of how long these products last. The Back-UPS RS 1500 doesn't play well with modern PC power supplies that have active PF correction. You must use a sine wave UPS with these PSUs. APC's user forum is a great place to ask for help. Battery replacements were frequent in one of the Smart-UPS units due to a high float charge voltage set at the factory. Finally got help at the forum and adjusted the voltage via the serial port.
