Not as advertised. The model is CPS425Ga NOT CPS425SL. I bought 2 on sale @ $29.99 since the batteries died in two of my existing UPS's. Now I know why they were so cheap. The 425Ga has no communications with the computer and therefore cannot perform an orderly shut down when it runs out of juice. I have a 550SL and it works well. I think the Ga must have been designed for ancillary things like cable modems, routers, switches, printers, speakers, etc, although you would never know it from reading the product description. If that's what you want it for, they are OK. If you want to keep your computer from crashing and trashing your system, make sure the UPS can talk to the computer.
