Review: I Recommend This Item - I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people's reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: I love these things. They are simple to use, unlike a more expensive one that requires APPS or computer connections to set up. For me these are like Plug n Play. I connect the battery without needing to open up the unit, then I plug it into the wall, push the button to turn it on, and then plug in my items. I actually have 4 of these in my home. My computer room which has my computer & monitor and router on it. I have one at my extra computer which connects to that computer and monitor but also powers my Modem and Alexa. My wife has one in her office for her Computer and monitor and Router. Lastly I have one at my main TV which also powers the Sound bar and the DVR. I got so tired of all the years and years of having our power flicker or blink off for 10 seconds and have to power everything back up, while risking damage to fragile electronics. Even a DVR now takes about 8 minutes to reboot and it can be frustrating just sitting there waiting. We've been using these in our home now for about 10 years total. I keep very accurate records on when I buy them, connect them, and when they require replacing. I can say with certainty that you will get about 5 Years from a battery before you need to replace it. I never replace the battery, and instead just replace the entire unit. Yes it does feel wasteful but it just makes more sense to me because I try to catch them on sale and buy them months before I think they will start to die. As long as I do not connect the battery, it does not seem to affect how long the item will last once I do start using it. I wouldn't buy years in advance, but a few months or so seems okay. When the battery will not hold a charge as long as it use to, it will give a high pitched whistle to warn you. It's not really warning that it is dead, but just that the battery is much weaker now and needs replacing soon. At that point I push the button to reset it and get prepared to replace it soon, or buy a replacement to replace it soon. In about 7-10 day it will warn you again, and every 7-10 or so it continues to warn you until it's finally too worn out to be doing it's job at all. Plenty of time to hit desertcart for a new one to be delivered. Because we have a whole house generator that kicks on about 30 seconds after the electric goes out, we've never had to push them to see how long they continue to power things on battery power alone. Our electric goes out, our computers and TV and items continue working without a single blip, and 30 seconds later our generator kicks in and everything becomes normal again. We never lose computers, or our internet or even our TV if we happen to be watching it. It's really cool to be near them on a windy day and you hear this CLICK CLICK sound indicating something is causing bad stuff to happen to your electric and the surges are being handled by this item and not reaching your valuable computer stuff. I Highly Recommend. Good Luck.
Review: Being Honest - Many of the negative reviews imo aren't really understanding that this is a cheap UPS. If you want a UPS that auto turns off your PC during outages, has longer batter life, can handle higher voltage, etc, then you're 100% looking at the wrong UPS! This UPS does exactly what it claims. It's a small UPS you should use more as a surge protector and to handle small power outages. It's cheap for a reason, though when you actually get a hold of it, I was impressed by the quality it felt like in this price range. I've bought various UPS's over the years. Some are very expensive, where some I got for $50 like this. When I buy cheap ones like this, it's usually to handle my home lab switches or router. I use this for things that don't take much power. If you have a low end PC or a laptop, this would also be perfect for you. By low end, I majorly mean your GPU doesn't hog a butt load of energy. If you're using 2 GPU's, or you have something like a 3090, then you may need to think about getting a UPS that can handle something bigger. But this in my opinion is a fantastic UPS. It delivers quite dang well for this price range. Seriously, it's a really good UPS and I think this is the 4th one I've bought so far. Not that any have broke, I just have a lot of UPS's (I run a business with servers, have a home lab, and more). And I've ran these little UPS's through the ringer. One of them in particular, I've definitely run more than I should. I put a server on one of them that also has 2 GPU's in the server that mines at the same time (might as well since it's on 24/7 anyways). I'm definitely capping out what this thing was built to handle, yet it handles it like a champ. Again, not saying that this is what you should use this one for haha. But I've been quite happy with this UPS. But again, most the negative reviews I've seen are people complaining about aspects of this UPS that in my opinion, aren't aspects in any UPS you'll get within this price range. For example, my file server doesn't use that much electricity. But it's mission critical that it never shuts down and that it automatically turns off before the UPS dies. I spent I think like $300 to $400 on a UPS for that server. When I got that expensive UPS, I ran various tests, was quite unhappy, returned it, and replaced it with another within the same price range. I get being picky, I really do, but I also understand the difference in pricing. When I spend $300+ on a UPS, I am looking for various features, battery life, and more. But this UPS imo offers a ton of qualities beyond the small price tag. So, this was majorly me ranting about the few who disliked the UPS because they expected more, but know I've bought various of these, I'm incredibly happy with them, and for 99.99% of people, I think they'd be perfectly happy with this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?**
A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices.

**Q: Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?**
A: Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will revert o passing utility power to connected electronics.

**Q: Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?**
A: This Back-UPS has a typical transfer time of 6ms to 10ms to switch to battery power when the main power goes out. The transfer time is fast enough that most devices, but more sensitive devices may need an upgraded UPS (like our Back-UPS Pro models)

**Q: Why is the mute button not working?**
A: This Back-UPS BE425M is able to temporarily mute user-correctable alarms (such as 'On-Battery'). Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification cannot be temporarily muted, and in these cases the unit must be turned off
