Can confirm others' warnings that this model, the BVN900M1, has no user-replaceable battery and also lacks a management port.
I'm sure some percentage of their customer base is capable of...

The need for pure sine wave in a small home UPS for a computer is WAY overblown in the big scheme of things. A case of just repeating and propagating the same circular info over and over again. ...

It's easy -- there's usually a handle hanging down from the track that you pull to disengage the track, at least on the two chain drives that I've had. Then you can raise and lower the door...

There are options. I have mine set to only beep if it’s about to turn off. Doesn’t beep to indicate it’s running on battery.

It's doubly shameful when one considers that they're not using custom, or modified batteries, just standard batteries inside a screwed-down case, as the teardowns on YouTube show.
There's no...

As stated, this does not have a replaceable battery. So in 2-3 years, battery will die and unit will be non-functional (garbage) except a few surge outlets. Frankly shameful of APC. Get a UPS with a...

I never looked to see how that would work. I guess I should and not wait for when needed. Just got to wait for nice hot 100 degree day, like this weekend. Hope it doesn't kill me!

This could be a dumb question, but the reviews seem to make me think this product may not be great. I currently have a panamax (not a legit one, just the standard panamax surge protector). Would this...

You can't open your garage door manually? I doubt this could power an opener. Lights and camera, sure.
