Perhaps you aren't buying the right >ones if they aren't serving you well. I've been buying from the Smart-UPS and Back-UPS range. Those should be ok, shouldn't they? All in all about a handfull of them. They're quite pricey... 90% of them suffered some kind of a circuit board failure. Not what you'd usually expect from a UPS, rather you'd expect the battery to give up first. I bought them over a few years, so it shouldn't be a bad batch or something like that. To APC's honour, I must say their support helped me quite a bit to get this working by sending me new cables to test with and at one occasion two brand new batteries free of charge. Unfortunately that didn't help... I wasn't too happy with the experience anyway, so I tried Eatons Powerware's 5xxx-series, which has worked w/o hitches ever since.
