Tripp LiteUPS 350VA Battery Backup Uninterruptible Power Supply, 6 Outlets, Surge Protector, Compact Basic Standby for PC Computer Wi-fi Router & TV, 3-Year Warranty & $100,000 Insurance (BC350)

This is a light duty device. I use mine to power the fiber to RJ45 converter for internet. It will operate for over 12 hours which should keep my internet functional for the duration of a typical power outage in my area.

Based on the trend in computers using less power and the way power strips have become the de-facto surge suppressors in the computer-powering setups, and the fact that I now live in a rural location, This is the power conditioning, surge-suppressing suppressing supply to computers.1. Power conditioner rated for the load on the branch circuit.2. UPC rated for the load on the branch circuit and capable of running on full battery for 10 minutes.3. Tripp-lite 8-outlet surge suppressor, 3520 or so joules. This is a hidden gem, it carries a much higher joule rating than any UPSs below $500.These UPC,s also made by Tripp-lite is adequate for loads they carry for a pretty cheap price:1. 1 27" iMac, 6 Mac mini servers, a large high-speed HP printer, and a ScanSnap scanner.2. 1 45" TV, a DVD player, 6 Apple TVS, Fire-sticks, etc, and a Bose sound bar.3. About the same load as 1 above.4. 1 27" iMac, 1 MacBook Air, a large high-speed HP printer, and a ScanSnap scanner.Probably all of the loads could be carried by 1 power conditioner, UPS, and surge suppressor, but the rooms are scattered through the house, but each room can be adequately protected for a reasonable cost. Gone are thye days when most computers had at least a 450 watt power supply, and the UPS tp supply it looked like a mid-size tower computer that took up way too much space. Now you can fit all of the necessary appliances under a desk or behind a bookcase, and the necessary UPS is inexpensive, sturdy, and made by an extremely reputable company.

It is a nice compact, back up and it works great. I will be purchasing a couple of more for other places in my house. I bought this as an emergency backup for an electric recliner so I don’t get stuck again when power goes out!

I was specifically looking for something that would have enough space between the plugs that it would allow me to plug in the white Kasa smart plugs. That is not the case with this UPS. The spacing in real life is much smaller than I had expected. I guess I should've read the dimensions more precisely. Still, I found a use for it and it has been working well for about a week now.

I just needed a backup for when my power flickers. This battery backup will squeal if your desktop is using more than its capacity even though there is no outage. I had to give up using this for the computer, now it is only powering my monitors and phone chargers. It is too late for me to return it, I am sorry that I bought it. DO NOT BUY if you have a fast I-7 I-9 desktop computer it cannot handle fast computers even if there is NO POWER OUTAGE!

I am a big Tripp Lite fan. I had a SMART1050 in this location and it was over 10 years old, ready for it's 3rd battery replacement. However, the unit got zapped during a recent power outage and new batteries did not bring it back to life. Not a problem - it was old and did its job protecting the equipment connected to it.While looking for a replacement UPS, I was not very happy about the alternatives and the reviews I was seeing. I was considering Eaton, APC, as well as various Tripp Lite models - nothing was really jumping out at me for the prices I was seeing.When I found this Tripp Lite model, I contemplated it relative to the SMART1050 which I was extremely happy with. I don't have a need for the LED display or advanced features of some of the models currently available. Pure sine wave and more power capacity would be nice, but again, I was not happy with what I was reading about for what was available. So, I went for this unit and purchased two to replace the single SMART1050. So far, I'm extremely happy with these. I charged them up for 24 hours, installed, and they're doing the job. I pulled the plug on each just to be sure they'd kick in, and they did fine.

if you live in an area where you can lose power for days like me due to a hurricane I 100% recommend this it saved most of my fish lives I wish I had ordered it prior to the storm. Thank you!

I don't know why I respond to review requests? The Tripp UPS historically is what industry uses for battery back up. I've not had a failure yet so I don't know anything. I've used them before and they were reliable.
