Purchased 2 of these due to rack depth and NEMA plug type. Heavy. Needed to stick with 15 amp as many venues worked with don't have 30s or 50s easily accessible. If you're in the market make sure to note the depth of the unit!

These are quickly becoming the standard 1500VA solution for our small business customers with a rack that only need a smaller amount of runtime for their equipment. As always these are solid and reliable and the LCD is great and easy to read. The SmartConnect for remote monitoring works very well too. Highly recommended!

Here' an unorthodox but effective way to mitigate the problem of premature battery failure, and vastly extend runtime for these generally reliable UPSs. I have managed about 15-20 APC SMT-xxxx model UPSs over the past dozen years. We have a lot of the SMT-1500 models. Some of these units were purchased before APC was bought by Schneider Electric, some afterward. All in all we are getting great, long-lived performance from all our SMT-xxxx UPSs. The one problem area is with the batteries. Buying replacement batteries is akin to buying a pig in a poke. Many reviews criticize the APC branded replacement batteries for failing prematurely, and the 3rd party knock-offs are often a joke. I've tried a lot of brands and most of them disappoint. As an example, the last time I ... MoreHere' an unorthodox but effective way to mitigate the problem of premature battery failure, and vastly extend runtime for these generally reliable UPSs.

Some of these units were purchased before APC was bought by Schneider Electric, some afterward. All in all we are getting great, long-lived performance from all our SMT-xxxx UPSs. The one problem area is with the batteries. Buying replacement batteries is akin to buying a pig in a poke. Many reviews criticize the APC branded replacement batteries for failing prematurely, and the 3rd party knock-offs are often a joke. I've tried a lot of brands and most of them disappoint. As an example, the last time I bought replacements for a few SMT-750 and SMT-1500 units the battery life was quoted as 3-5 years. I conservatively labeled the UPSs to have the battery checked two years in. Well, 1.5 years in we had an extended power outage and the batteries failed miserably on all the units. Everyone of our UPS solutions has been engineered to have a runtime of about 2 hours. That is an unusually long amount of time, but with the original batteries, the 2-hour goal was met. When the outage occurred with the replacement batteries installed, we lost power in a matter of minutes. The batteries failed way early. Here are a couple of example links to the batteries that failed prematurely hereUPSBatteryCenter Compatible Battery Pack for APC Smart-UPS 1500VA 120V SMT1500 (Plug & Play!) , hereNew Battery Pack for APC Smart-UPS 750VA 120V LCD SMT750 Compatible Replacement by UPSBatteryCenter , and hereAPC Smart-UPS 750 (SUA750US) 12V 7Ah UPS Battery - This is an AJC Brand Replacement . This was when I decided there had to be a better way. I had been thinking about rigging an external battery pack on the bigger 1500 units for some time. There are of course APC models designed to accommodate external packs, but they are also designed to cost a lot more money. The SMT-1500 is a sweet spot on the price curve for us. And since we already own quite a few of them I wanted an SMT-1500 based external pack solution. This wheel has been invented before, and you can find a lot of forum posts about adding an external battery pack, with the caveat that you must connect to the UPS with a serial cable and modifying the standby time. In other words, there is a body of thought that the UPS on its own won't realize that the battery capacity has been increased simply by connecting a battery with a larger amp hour rating. You have to tell the UPS that there's more standby time or the unit will shutdown before the batteries are exhausted. This of course is a consideration even before the mechanical connection to the external pack has been sorted. However, we found this conventional wisdom not to be true. The Batteries I went out and bought two 12-volt Optima Blue Top batteries (Optima Batteries 8052-161 D31M BlueTop Starting and Deep Cycle Battery ). Very well reputed maintenance-free AGM batteries. This is the top of the line 75AH model, but they make a less expensive 55AH model that will likely suit most needs. The SMT-1500 UPSs use a 24v internal pack (two 12V cells connected in series), so two Optima cells were required to be connected likewise. I then tackled the job of re-programming the runtime one of the SMT-1500s and experienced failure after failure. I couldn't get a response from the UPS with a laptop connected to the unit's serial connection (an RJ-45 jack in the back of the UPS) even using the APC supplied serial cable. In retrospect I just happened to have grabbed the very oldest SMT-1500 in our stable to test with, and the serial number / firmware rev may have been to old to go along with such antics, but the project was back-burnered for a while. A Very Workable Workaround After that last power outage I decided to just go ahead and connect the Optima's to one of our UPSs and see what would happen. What happened was I found out that no re-programming of the UPS is necessary after all. All that was required was to have the Powerchute management software installed, and to perform what is termed a "Runtime Calibration" under the Smart-UPS 1500 / Diagnostics menu. If you look at the screenshots you'll note that the standby is 710 minutes. Float Voltage It should be noted that there is also a hack for modifying the float voltage of the UPS's internal charger. Differing battery chemistries require differing float voltages. As it turned out, the chargers in our SMT-1500s float the Optima cells at 13.8v, which is just at the high end of the range recommended by Optima. Got lucky there. Mechanical Connections This was a fairly straightforward process. I just removed the internal battery pack by disconnecting the gray 50-amp Anderson Connector. I then unscrewed the Anderson connector attached to the battery and clipped off the end terminals. The wires attached to the Anderson conne...
I have had APC UPS for a long time. Hence upgrading and existing one with the SMC1500C seemed a no-brainer. However, the revelation came when I connected the UPS to the network and was trying to access the internal web browser as with all my other UPS. I was in for a surprise: the UPS does not offer an internal web browser. No ports are open. The only network capability it offers is remote management via the smartconnect.apc.com link. This means I am essentially opening a back-door to my network without any sort of control, only relying on the assurances of APC / Schneider. Call me old-fashioned, but this is a risk not worth taking.
It’s hard to believe that you can purchase this much performance for such a low price! Pure sine wave output and AVR are great performance highlights, but the value of the new “SmartConnect” feature is even better. Plus, APC allows “1 Additional Year of Battery Warranty for FREE when you connect and register your Smart-UPS with SmartConnect”. Such an incredible deal!
Needed backup power at a remote site to maintain computer control of our Ham Radio repeater which provides emergency communications in times of need.This APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA Rack Mount 2U 6-Outlet Battery Backup and Surge Protector w/ Smart Connect is a welcome addition to our system
I had a failure on my old unit and needed a quick backup supply to keep my operational readiness intact. This serves the load requirement and provided enough time for my requirement. I did split the load on different usages into 2 of these units to get maximum time back. With Almost 60% load I was able to get between 13-15 min and on the other with 25% load it was showing 46 min. It is very Easy to install and all hardware that came along was perfect to mount it into a 42 I.u rack. Needed a couple of rack rail screws which I had with me. Display information helped to keep us on track to manage any downtime.
It works great. It looks great in the rack. Its protected my network gear on 2 occasions from a small power outage. The only thing i don't necessarily enjoy is not have an On-Premises software alerting system. I miss having the software on my server which did not rely on internet.
This is an upgrade from my old APC UPS. That one is several years old. But I have a new computer that requires a good sine wave signal so I got this one. Easy setup. The battery showed up with almost a full charge on it. It was pretty much just plug it into the outlet and plug in my computer, monitor and my router. Very easy display to read. As long as it keeps running I will leave five stars for it. It is heavy. Around 40 lbs. Maybe they should design in some finger holds into the case. I will use my old unit for my NAS. I had changed the battery on that one some time last year. Update June 17, 2018: Nothing bad to say about this. I lost power one day due to the utility work being done down the street. They shut the power for a couple of hours. No problems with ... MoreThis is an upgrade from my old APC UPS. That one is several years old.
