Tripp Lite 550Va 300W Ups Eco Green Battery Back Up Compact 120V USB Rj11, 8 Outlets ECO550UPS 550 VA

I first purchased this item in August 2017, and then again in October 2020. Tripp-Lite has sold at least 2 versions of the product with the same product name ECO550UPS, but with 2 different package styles. The same ASIN number, B001OQBMLA, was used on Amazon for both package styles. - The one I purchased in 2017 has UPC # 037332143884, and made in China, per the carton label. Besides the product name ECO550UPS, there is a secondary identifier BC7889. This unit has a case style that is not as tall, and is wider than the more recent one. This case style allowed for wider distribution of the outlets, and enabled easier access to the outlets (see my provided pic). Also note that it provides only 8 total outlets. Also, this style has no access panel to replace the battery, however, it may be accessed by removing 3 case screws and opening the case. - The one I purchased in 2020 has UPC # 037332211064, and made in Vietnam, per the carton label. Besides the product name ECO550UPS, there is a secondary identifier BC87FB. This unit has a case style that is taller, and is narrower than the older one. This case style allows for narrower distribution of the outlets, and makes access to the outlets more difficult. The main product image for this page shows the more recent product. Also note that it provides 10 total outlets (vs 8 for the previous version). This case style has an access panel to access the battery for replacement. The product includes a 3 year warranty, and I can report that the battery in the unit I purchased in Aug 2017, failed in Jan 2020 (just a little over 3 years). Failure was indicated by a one-beep alert that repeated every 15 minutes. Replacement battery cost (from a local battery vendor) was less than half the price of a new UPS, so it is well worth replacing the battery if you are even a little bit handy.

Bought this unit a few years back, it worked fine until the battery died, as expected. What was not expected is that this is NO WAY to turn off the nuisance alarm that goes off every minute on the unit itself. You have to use the poweralert software to do this. Think about it, do you want to have to go into software to turn off this alarm whenever the power resets? Additionally, there is NO VERSION of this software for many operating systems, including OSX (Mac). When I pressed the support agent for help in this regard, they BANNED me from their support channel. HIGHLY suggest you choose another UPS company, I know our firm will be.

El pedido llego en tiempo y forma, me atendieron inmediatamente . Excelente servicio

Probado con un servidor, el respaldo es hasta de 40 minutos. Muy recomendable

I love the 12 plugs on this unit but I didn't see any opening to change the battery when it will die (eventually). Overall I would recommend it for sure!
