Salicru SPS SOHO+ 400 Series Line-Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit, 400VA/240W

I was recommended this product by a friend who has used Salicru products for a few years now. They are apparently a Spanish manufacturer and previously I have used APC products but the SPS one 500 seemed to be cheaper for the same kind of features and it has everything I was looking for. The unit build seems very good and the unit was easy to set-up, is quiet and compact.No problems and I would have no hesitation recommending to other customers.

**UPDATE** - this UPS is not fit for purpose. My testing concluded it's good for no more than 90secs of battery power. That is simply not enough, and no way is this a 700va UPS. 90secs is just about enough time to shut a PC down in the event of a power outage, but what if it's a little over or under voltage? Ideally you'd want a PSU to stay on for a few minutes, and power-down the PC where it's sustained loss of power. I've reduced my review to a 1 star and returned it. I've opted instead for an APC Back-UPS 950va UPS. More expensive at £92 vs. £64 (at time of purchase), but well worth it. Battery time on the APC UPS is 15mins (tested) with the same equipment. Spend the extra and get a quality piece of kit. With the APC alternative I can up the sensitivity for electrical noise safe in the knowledge my PC will only need to shut down after 5-10mins of sustained electrical outage or noise. 15mins coverage from 950va APC UPS vs. 90secs with an alleged 700va device from Salicru.First impressions, having set the UPS up and simulated a power failure, aren't the best. I have the 700VA model and have this wired up to support my desktop PC (just the PC PSU and no peripherals). Whilst the PC has 650w PSU, it's only drawing 300-350w. Having charged the battery to 100%, and configured the auto-shutdown capabilities (go to sleep after 1 minute), I flicked the power switch. Immediately the battery went from 100% to 78%. It then fell 2% a second down to ~48%. There it slowed to 1% every 3-5 seconds. To lose 50% of the capacity in less than 30s was surprising to say the least! The load reported in PowerView didn't change at ant point; I'm assuming the tool was perhaps incorrectly reporting the capacity and that it wasn't fully charged yet. I had configured the UPS to put my W10 device to sleep after 30s on battery; it duty fully killed the power after 30s. Changing the setting to Shut Down vs. Sleep fixed that, and happy to report this works well (using the included USB cable to connect UPS to PC). I'm going to test the battery a number of times in the coming days to assess performance and will adjust my review accordingly. I fear based on my I initial tests that I'll only have 2-3mins to get my PC cleanly shut down which might not actually be enough; I wasn't expecting long run times but hopefully something around 5mins which gave time to comfortably shut the device down.

I've had the SPS ONE 700 version of this for about two years now, connected to a mid-range desktop PC and 21 inch LCD monitor.It's very compact and has dealt with several power cuts over that period. My machine will run for at least five minutes on the UPS, more than enough time to save everything and shut down.Since UPS batteries have a habit of failing after a couple of years, I recently decided to replace it. If you have a minimal level of technical know-how, this is very simple. The only tools you'll need are a cross-head screwdriver to remove the four screws attaching the top portion of the case to the bottom and a knife or thin-edged flat-blade screwdriver to ease open the clips attaching the front fascia to the main body on the underside. Once you have the thing apart, disconnect the two spade connectors on the old battery and remove it, put the new one in, reconnect the two connectors (paying attention to polarity, of course) and reassemble. The battery in the box was a brand I didn't recognise, so I decided to replace it with a Yuasa NP7-12 AGM S65 12V 7.0Ah (currently available on Amazon for a price that's about a quarter of this UPS) which is the same voltage and current spec as the original, and it fit perfectly.The only downside of this product is the awful monitoring software. Every time it starts, Windows 10 asks for admin permission to run it, and I couldn't figure out a way around this. In the end, I removed it from the list of start-up programmes and ran it manually occasionally to check the state of the battery. The only disadvantage of this is that the software couldn't be used to automatically shut down the PC in a power cut, but Windows 10 copes with improper shutdowns well. Everyone with any sense should have the habit of saving their open work before walking away from their machine, and the UPS software wouldn't deal with this in any case.

The media could not be loaded. Very good little UPS and cheap for the price and is has a battery Included inside the unit and can last up to 30min (apx) that I have ordered a another one

No lo he podido probar, la pantalla no funciona y he solicitado devolución, pero por sus características/precio es un buen producto. Es la versión antigua (la nueva tiene el frontal en blanco y cuenta con puertos USB), por lo que serán restos de stock. Que no lo vendan como nuevo, y que no lo vendan si no funciona correctamente.Editado: El segundo llegó sin problemas.El ruido excesivo del ventilador es cuando está en modo "normal", tenéis que esperar que haga una carga completa (4 horas) y darle al botón para activar el modo equilibrado, creo que se llamaba. La disipación pasa a pasiva, sin ventilador, a menos que salte la batería.El software es cierto que no es una maravilla, pero por el precio que tiene (~75 €) es muy recomendable. Las otras opciones de potencia similar suelen rondar los 150-175 €.

Excelente producto, funciona de lujo y evita que se te apague de mala manera el equipo o simplemente estabiliza la entrada de corriente al mismo. Aunque como no todo es perfecto, tiene 2 problemas a mi parecer:1.-La app para poder controlarlo y configurarlo, es poco intuitiva.2.-Cuando tira de batería, es bastante escandaloso el ventilador, pero siempre se le puede poner uno mas silencioso.

Lo compre para mi Imac de 27" y la verdad es que ha tenido que actuar varias veces por cortes en mi zona, aguanta como un campeón como mínimo media hora, ademas puedes comprobar el estado de la carga de las baterías en el frontal.

Acabo de instalar el UPS y el sensor de temeratura no funciona. Seguramente lo devolveré mañana. El ventilado hace bastante ruido por lo pequeñito que es.

En mi caso llegó defectuoso. La devolución se realizó muy rápida y sin problemas.
