Good budget protection
|
A few years ago, I moved into a neighborhood with power problems. Seemingly randomly, our power will switch off and back on, or brown out for a second or less. Several times, this caused my computer to shut down unexpectedly. I knew I had to get an uninterruptible power supply or risk a much more costly loss.
I chose the Belkin 375VA battery backup primarily because it is an entry-level model. I don't need a lot of uptime on the battery, just enough to survive a couple seconds of power interruption or shut the system down in case the outage is longer. At the same time, my computers are on unattended at times, and I wanted a battery backup with USB support so that the battery could shut my machines off in case I wasn't around. This Belkin UPS does exactly what I need.
The retail box has much more information than is on this product page. The 375VA model is intended only for entry-level computers with small monitors. It has an expected battery lifetime of 2-3 years. I was a little disappointed by both of those stats, though three years is about how often I replace PCs, so it just becomes another component to replace at that time.
Personally, I find the four backed-up outlets to be more of a hinderance than an asset. I don't want anything else stealing battery lifetime, but that leaves me with only two extra surge-protected outlets. Any unprotected equipment can still let a surge pass to your computer's peripheral ports. The built-in phone line protection is a nice touch, however.
The backup has a built-in test mode, where you can turn on your equipment, press the test button, and verify the battery's operation. In this mode, my machines kept running, even though my monitors are larger than the box says I should run on it. Since then, they've run through a couple brownouts with no problems.
Automatic shutdown software is included, though I found that I didn't really need to install it under Windows XP home edition. Windows considers the UPS to be any other battery, similar to how laptops can run on either battery or mains power. I set windows to shut itself down when the battery starts to drain, and this also appears to work just fine. |
