It also appears that the battery is not user-replaceable on this model. Not knocking that the price/value isn't pretty good, but things to keep in mind.

Regarding Battery Replacement, the battery can be replaced two ways.1) Sending the unit back to a Factory Authorized Service Center (to the best of my knowledge, APC no longer provides this type of service to Consumer Grade UPS devices); or 2) DIY, IF AND ONLY IF, you are not risk averse and are knowledgeable about working around/with electronic circuitry. Why? This model was designed to be disposable and not serviceable by consumers. When you open the case, you are exposed to hazardous circuitry/components and introducing dangerous errors (e.g. getting the battery polarity wrong). There are a couple of YouTube videos about swapping out the batteries.
The batteries can not be replaced unlike their previous models that looked like fat surge protectors.
I would not recommend this design.

You can probably get it cheaper once it shows up on Direct Tools Outlet or goes clearance at Home Depot, but if you are not in the Ryobi tool system you can add two 4AH batteries and charger for a $100 total https://www.homedepot.c
It looks like that deal sold out online, but if you find a store with the inverter and batteries it will still work until August 1st.
Regardless I think the inverter with Lithium tool batteries is the way to go for your modem/router. Battery is easily replaceable, they don't lose their charge as quickly over long periods of time, and that saves you some $ on your energy bill. You can also use the batteries in your tools. If your internet connection is mission critical the UPS is better, but that short runtime is going to make you need to find a solution in an hour or so anyway when it dies not to mention the higher up front cost for each minute of power and the constant draw added to your meter.

This was maybe a month ago.
Absolute garbage, and a big enough sample size to know.
