AmazonBasics UPS?

[Ariolander]

How do people feel about the AmazonBasics 800VA UPS?

 

My APC 550VA battery died and I honestly feel it is under rated for my current rig. Getting that AmazonBasics UPS is literally the same price as my APC replacement battery and can increase the rating to be more inline with my current build.

Sorry about that. I was just UPS shopping on Amazon myself and of course Amazon intrusively recommends their own brands. Thanks for splitting the thread.

 

Anyway anyone have any experience with the AmazonBasics brand? They are a relatively new development as far as AmazonBasics products go so there is very little videos about them beyond a couple of basic unboxings, with no commentary, and one person showing the guts and how to replace the battery.

 

I found no info about the quality of the components or the included software package. As usual most of the Amazon reviews were unhelpful, mostly people complaining about how it works with their NVR systems. The only software-related review I saw was complaining about Mac compatibility of the software.

That's just a cheap UPS.  No AVR.  Standby only.

 

Good for keeping your router and cordless phone online during an outage. Wouldn't use it with a PC.
