Why Do I Need APC Battery Backup?

• Having an APC battery backup system in place will make sure that you have enough time to save all of your current documents and shut down your computer safely in the event of a sudden power outage. All APC battery backups differ; some may only provide enough battery time for a few minutes of operation while some can last more than an hour. Either way, this will help protect your PC against voltage spikes and sags that may occur either at the time of the loss of power or when power is finally is restored.
  
  

APC Battery Backup vs. Surge Protector

• Surge protectors can help, but many are cheaply made and offer limited protection. Moreover, because a surge protector is not equipped with a battery backup you will still lose any open and unsaved documents and possibly even suffer other irreversible data loss in the event of a sudden power outage in your home.
  
  

Other Applications for APC Battery Backup Systems

• When most of us think of using a battery backup or even a surge protector for that matter, we think solely of protecting our computers and the equipment that is plugged into them. While it is important to protect this hardware it's not the only equipment that can benefit from the protection of an APC battery backup. Televisions, stereos and video game systems all make great candidates for an APC battery backup.
  
  

Warranty Information

• APC is one of the few companies that is willing to provide an optional warranty on your equipment. In the event that any damage does occur to equipment that is plugged into an APC battery backup, APC offers its consumers a $75,000 limited warranty to help replace the hardware; this is how confident the company is as a brand that their product will work.
  
  

Other UPS Manufacturers

• It's important to note that APC is but one manufacturer of uninterrupted power supply systems and battery backups in the industry. While APC is considered by many to be the front runner, it is by no means the only company available.
