I bought this UPS and another one to replace older units that began chirping. This one is used with our phone system that goes whacko if the power fails. Plugged this one in and had no problems including a test to make sure it worked well. I am Very satisfied with this purchase.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This armband was purchased for my wife primarily for walking. The armband fits the phone well, seems to be very durable and it does the job for her needs. She was very happy with this purchase and would not hesitate to buy or recommend this armband to a friend.

The Apple cable does the job but with regular use the cable will separate from the end piece. After repetitive movement the cable will show wear and eventually fail to maintain a connection and stop performing. Some other manufacturers make a more durable cable but the size of the lightning connector on many other brands is too large to use in some phone and IPad cases without taking off the cover (and who wants to do that?). I would recommend checking to see if other brands fit and will charge with your iPhone/iPad cover on and buy a brand like Griffin to save some $ and get better durability. Otherwise this cable is good for the time it lasts.

APC - Back-UPS 450VA Network 40 UPS - Black

Protecting a Desktop PC

I am confused by the answer to a prior question which I copied below. I need to surge protect a desktop PC plus external drives, router etc., but also if there is a power outage I need enough battery backup to allow me to save files on my desktop PC and/or external drive and then close everything down. Will it do that ok? Isn't that what its for?

"For your reference, the BN4001 is positioned as a UPS to protect networking equipment, not to be network manageable.

Because it is intended to protect networking equipment (ie modem, router, etc. vs a PC), we do not include a cable to connect to a PC or the software to monitor from a PC"

Yes, this unit will provide a few minutes of computer time to shut things down and save files. Please remember that all battery back up units are affected by how much power draining equipment is attached.
