(Starlink heavy on power especially during Snow/Ice thaw cycles.) I use the battery backup side for PS5, XBOX - X, Mac Mini M2, and a low powered ethernet hub. At first the APC 650 VA worked when the power went off but it didn't switch back to utility power when the standby generator kicked in. This caused it to deplete the battery and shutdown all my equipment that was in Standby mode after a few hours. After watching a few videos on YouTube and figuring that I needed to adjust the APC's sensitivity setting to LOW, it now works as intended. Check out videos on YouTube to figure out the settings you need for your specific model. Very happy with the product. AND the alarm on this model can be shut off but is in no way annoying like other brands or models I've used. Review: Great surge protector and battery backup. I have four of them. Buy with confidence. - Great surge protector and battery backup that gives you time and allows your sensitive electronics to be powered down gracefully by you when you lose power or allows them to continue running while you swap over to generator power without having to restart everything. I have four of them (two for two different computers in two different rooms, one for our 84-inch TV and whole house router, and one for our 3D printer so it won't mess up on a long printing job when our power company fails to provide consistent power). No complaints or issues. You can even replace the internal battery while keeping the same unit to save yourself some money when the rechargeable battery starts nearing the end of its useful life. Buy with confidence. ## Features - APC Back-UPS 650 VA Desktop UPS - 650 VA/390 W - 120 V AC - 3 Minute - Desktop - 3 Minute - 4 x NEMA 5-15R, 4 x NEMA 5-15R - ENERGY STAR Compliance-RoHS; REACH Compliance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005GZRUZW | | Amperage | 7 Amps | | Brand | APC | | Brand Name | APC | | Colour | black | | Connector Type | NEMA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,824 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | Rack | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731304285434, 00763615813594, 00971472767763 | | Item Dimensions | 18 x 28.4 x 8.6 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 6.19 kg | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 6.19 kg | | Manufacturer | APC | | Manufacturer Part Number | BE650G1 | | Material | Plastic | | Maximum Power | 390 Watts | | Model Number | BE650G1 | | Number of Outlets | 4 | | Output Wattage | 390 Watts | | UPC | 971472767763 031112680705 803982751911 724627205975 021113043302 849006015386 014444603963 809099057045 731304256526 090666618978 601000750508 809385152898 763615813594 021112049701 800187834128 045555677543 734911333987 971478710091 849006015553 044112003245 783627432651 729224791821 780746609681 809185303414 782386081421 641438167790 640206694988 731304285434 698997769439 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 390 Watts | ## Product Details - **Amperage:** 7 Amps - **Brand:** APC - **Colour:** black - **Material:** Plastic - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![APC Back-UPS 650VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE650G) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519-UyLjS+L.jpg) ![APC Back-UPS 650VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE650G) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FyvY+Z6gL.jpg) ![APC Back-UPS 650VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE650G) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514TwcdAdJL.jpg) ![APC Back-UPS 650VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE650G) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41z+rF8GehL.jpg) ![APC Back-UPS 650VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE650G) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fvCyDzbCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?** A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. **Q: Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?** A: Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will revert o passing utility power to connected electronics. **Q: Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?** A: This Back-UPS has a typical transfer time of 6ms to 10ms to switch to battery power when the main power goes out. The transfer time is fast enough that most devices will not experience a power drop when the UPS transitions to battery power. **Q: Can I plug the UPS to an extension cord or does it have to be plugged in to a wall outlet?** A: In order for your UPS to get the best power available, it should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. Plugging your UPS into a surge protector may cause the UPS to go to battery often when it normally should remain offline. **Q: Which battery replacement should I purchase and from where?** A: The Back-UPS BE650G1 internal battery has a lifespan of up to 5 years, depending on the usage and maintenance of the battery. When the battery is ready to be replaced, you can purchase model RBC17 directly from APC. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works when programmed properly *by W***? on 2 April 2023* Using the non battery side for TV, Bose Soundbar, Bose Subwoofer and Starlink Power Brick.

Family got 3 new computers for Christmas and since we live in hurricane alley(more on that later) I decided to get ups units for all of them. I originally bought 2 of the apc 600's on a black friday sale (not Amazon) but returned them in less than 30 min when I started reading the reviews and noticed it was light as a feather. It was advertised as having a usb port well yes technically that was true but it did not connect to anything. So in other words this ups had no way of shutting down the computer like a normal UPS has. The other biggie was the thing had a tiny battery and it was not replaceable. Why they did that is beyond me but between that and the faux usb port it was time to return them both. Note Amazon sells the same 600 here but the pictures show a real usb port and I have read they make that model both ways so that one might be ok. After that I ordered 2 similar cyber power units but canceled them after I read they too were disposable units because you could not replace the battery in them. I never could find out what battery they used and that was the tip off. At least they had real USB ports but I wanted to keep looking. I found a triplite 750 that had very good reviews but then one of the reviewers reported they don't work with Mac's and 2 of our new computers are those new Mini Mac M1's so I had to pass on that one. Then bingo I found an old friend called the BE650G1 or as some call it, the ES650. I still have the original model from 2007 and it still works like a charm. I also have it's baby brother the 325 and it also works just like new. During the fall , I lost track of how many Hurricanes we went through. But in 2 of them both these units worked their hearts keeping my servers and tv going. Around 4am the hurricane hit and the power was switching back and forth like mad. This went on till about 645am when we lost power for good. But this allowed me to watch the news and stay online till that time. So after finding out this unit was still available I ordered 3 of them and sure glad I did. No weird-tiny and hard to find batteries like some of the newer units. When UPS arrived today with my new 650's, they drove up my very steep driveway to put them in my garage because they are so heavy, The shipping box even had a Heavy label on the side. You can get the battery for the 650 from your local electrical supply company for about half the price that you pay at one of those national battery chain stores. That another reason why I would recommend this oldie but goodie model It also works with Windows, Linux and Macs with no issues and I hope APC will continue making this model for years to come! ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector, BE650G1, Dataline Protection, Backup Battery Power Supply - APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, BX1500M Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, Dataline Protection - APC UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 600VA/330 Watts Backup Battery Power Supply, BE600M1 Back-UPS with USB Charger Port --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/175223085-apc-back-ups-650va-ups-battery-backup-and-surge-protector](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/175223085-apc-back-ups-650va-ups-battery-backup-and-surge-protector) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
