Old apc era (12-15yrs) was actually good. But thereon its just a crap and headache!
My apc 1500s relay went kaput and nor apc had any part nor the 3 repair shops. So ultimately I dumped it into scrap!
Apc was offering me Rs 100 in exchange of a new ups this is how they insult their customers. Scrap vendor gave me 350 bucks! Standards of scrap vendors are higher than apc then.
Batteries I sold off to a know garage for 1.3k as they were just 6 months old with warranty etc.
Thereon, no ups for my rig and happy to be that way.
And now UPS costs have also skyrocketed so no point investing in it for me at least. In next house renovation, will get an inverter and just get a very basic ups as then wont be requiring any bells whistles thing.
