I have had APC back-UPS before but recently purchased a new security system and wanted to make sure it was still operational for some time after a power outage and also for protection from surges.

After extensive reviews from several sites and from the company itself I ended up buying two APC's. One each BR1300G and BX1300G. There is not a lot of differences between the two other than total time running on battery.

Not even a week after I purchased these and had them operational we had a storm blow thru taking the power out for a short time. It was nice being able to see that the system was still recording an hour after the power had gone out. It ran for just over an hour with the load I had on them though they were not full loads that is the choice I wanted. One for the DVR security system and the other for the Network internet.

Having the smaller UPS system on the computers is a plus also as it was nice to actually go online even after the power went out being each system was running on battery power.

You can't go wrong with having battery back-ups around. There a step above the surge protectors.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery

Can I purchase a replacement battery for this UPS (APC Back-UPS XS1300))? What is the part number? Can I buy it from Best Buy? Price?

I'm not sure if Best Buy carries them but I do know that you can get them from the company APC themselves and last I knew the cost was right around $60 with the general limited warranty.
