Was really surprised one day when the power went out and the APC had no problem running the Amaya until it finished the design! We have a lot of power fluctuations and brief outages-being on the 'main road' here and a transformer station down the street-any time someone runs into a power pole or there is a fire or something nearby the power can go off without notice. Never had a single problem with anything since we went to the APC units. You can buy them from Staples and many computer suppliers now cheaper than buying direct-but our experience has been the batteries only last 3 years. We are in the middle of replacing all of ours now as they start to beep to tell us they are going dead...and with 7 of them from 420 to 1500 watts it is getting expensive. Smaller units it was cheaper last time to just buy new bigger units. This time it's cheaper to get batteries. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
