I knew about not plugging in laser printers. I just wanted to make sure that this older model (Back-UPS Pro 280) was good enough quality.I had been reading about how UPS's in general don't provide very good quality power in a blackout, so I wanted to make sure I didn't need an upgrade that way. I have two computers upstairs, each on a Back-UPS Pro 280, and then in my basement lab (fiendish experiment division), I have a Back-UPS Pro 420.
I don't think American Power Conversion makes either of these models any more. They say they've moved to more energy efficient designs. Does anyone know if the Tripp Lite BC PRO450 is any good? Someone gave me one with a dead battery, and I don't want to buy a new battery if it's not worth using. The Back-UPS's I have all use the same battery, but the Tripp Lite uses a smaller one. I've also heard that these computer UPS's aren't meant for non- computer equipment, such as stereos or aquarium pumps. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
