External Battery Pack for Smart-UPS Extended Run SMX-Series, SMX120RMBP2U, 120V, 2U Rackmount/Tower Convertible, Black

We have 11 remote locations and all have at least one server 2 Cicso POE switches and other equipment. We use APC Infrastruxure Manager and needed a good value UPS that would allow monitoring via IM. This is it. Love the display ( our existing APC UPS' did not have one) , though menu navigation can be a challenge first couple of times through ( of course the web interface is the best way). Also, you don't have to own a IM appliance & software to monitor, you can do it via the web interface. So, do your runtime needs calculations and if this has your power requirement met you are good to to go. By the way, I have ordered 14 since January. Each of my sites gets two for redundantly. Some of the older UPS' just got new batteries. Speaking of batteries - ordered 33 from Amazon, but beware many have a 5 per 7 days ordering restriction. That is a pain.

Item arrived with bent rack ears (minor issue), no network card (description states with network card) and not functioning - the UPS states the battery is at 100% but when entering self-test, it reports "self-test refused". On connecting to a server load, this is reported as 10% load and a nice long run time is estimated (I think about 30 mins). However if line power is disconnected, the UPS shuts down within 10 seconds - it only has one real job and it fails. Still waiting for the vendor to get back to me. Amazon originally offered a partial refund which wasn't a satisfactory option

Bought a pair of these for a server rack and they work great. Mounting the rails takes a bit of time, but other than that setup was simple. Make sure to remove the battery before placing the case in the rack: it makes the case only about 25 lbs versus almost 100 lbs with the battery. Big improvement in this model: no longer has screws to anchor the battery in the case. Everything is toolless now (minus install). Also, the display shows all kinds of good information: watt draw, amp draw, % usage, runtime, etc. Hopefully it stands the test of time!

The units are not new! At best these are open box units, at worst these are previously used and returned. There was cosmetic damage to the plastic front panel and to the unit chassis itself. These units did not arrive in the original boxes and did not include the floor stands. The units do at least appear to function.

I have being using APC products over 10 year. I should say that so far I am very happy with quality of this band. I have purchased this item for one of my friends to protect a full server cabinet with 1 Dell T320 server + LCD monitor, 1 music amplifier, 1 smart radio, 1 cisco gigabit switch (26 port), 1 DSL modem, 1 phone switching terminal, 1 cisco 8 port hub, and a set of 4 fans for cabinet. So for this product doing go job of protecting these equipment. Strongly suggested!

Once I had opened and inspected the ups, I found out it required 30amps which I was wired for. I contacted the seller and they responded very quickly and quickly processed my return. BecTech; thank you for working so quickly

This item arrived in used condition. Not what we were expecting.

This is a big improvement over the prior generation of APC UPS. We are using it with an extended battery pack, and in this generation the extended battery communicates with the main unit, so no configuration is needed. Browser based control for configuration, data logging and monitoring. All in all it does what we want.
