Just a warning last time I bought from Office Depot (shipped to me) they were very old and the battery was dead. And same with everyone else in that thread.

Serial number on the box shows the year and month it was manufactured and it was something like 5+ years ago.
(Trying to remember off the top of my head, I think serial is in the form of #BYYMM### if you're picking up in store)
I think it would be helpful to update the thread title and bullet list with the 360W rating.

Good luck!

no apparent USB-alarm to gracefully shutdown NAS or PC
Hey! Not sure if someone replied to you all ready but there is an included USB cable that allows any Windows PC to register a battery and manage itself accordingly like graceful shutdown, you just have to set power settings.

Other devices such as NAS' depend wildly on the manufacturer and being able to register being plugged into a battery. Hope this helps!

Staples is 450VA. You will get approx 50% more runtime on this depending on what devices.

I always recommend 650s for computers so you get at least 15min runtime, but 450s are fine for accessories or networking equipment. Hope that helps!

Have these at work. Like all APC products, junk. Don't put anything on it if they are critical systems

As far as I can tell, you are correct. The BN series does, but not the BVN series. https://download.schneider-electr...User+guide

The unit below for $40 does with easily to replace battery. I've always used APC and never used the below brand.

Not sure if it matters for this one. Only rated for 360W. Runtime less than 2 minutes at 360W.

How long would this keep a modem and router going if power goes out?
Here is the link to the runtime graph for this model from the APC website. First, figure out your load (in watts) and find the corresponding value on the horizontal axis. Then look up to see where it intersects the
GREEN line. Next, look to the left. The amount of runtime (in minutes) is shown on the vertical axis.

Bought an APC BGE70 UPS for my networking equipment form Sam's Club about 5 years ago for $10 on clearance. That thing is still going strong. Still got this unit to replace it and use the old unit on some WYZE cameras.
