Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Duracell 1800 watt power sourceWe bought this item as part of our home "disaster" supplies. I can't comment on how it's functioned as thankfully we haven't had to use it. I can say this however, it has remained plugged in for about 60 days now and maintains a full charge. It is QUITE, we don't even notice it. I mainly bought this model/make as it was on a special one-day sale on Amazon which made the price VERY attractive. Rating: - Great ValueGot this on sale and have already used it during a storm this summer....not sure how long the charge will last, but for the sale price it is a bargain...I know it will come in handy this winter Rating:  - Piece of JunkThis item is a piece of junk. Mine gave up after a month, and it is not even used much, just lying in a corner being charged. What is worse, their customer service is more than a piece of junk too. They diagnosed the problem as a battery failure. Since this unit is heavy and I would have to spend over $50 to ship it, I requested that they just send me a new battery and I return the old one to them. But, no! they want the whole unit back. What happened to the customer is always right? And this ...

I tried a few high wattage things in it like a hair dryer, Iron, coffee maker, just to see how long I could use it. These are things I could never think of using in a standard 1500VA UPS, (Which I have for comp and such) All of the devices ran well, the hair dryer probably sucked it down the fastest, (Set high 1500watts), lasted aout 7 minutes before the warning started going off. The unit ran about 5 more minutes on medium ... Read More Rating: - Product in search of a nichePros : about three times the run times of a comparable capacity UPS, based on battery capacity (3 x 17AH, vs typical 2 x 9AH in a 1500VA UPS). Maybe nice to have around to switch to when a regular UPS runs down in a long power outage. I got mine for $180, which would be a good deal in the UPS market. The current $380 would be too high for me. Cons : a lot of cons. It's hyped as if it's going to help out in the gas generator alternative market, but has nowhere near the capacity you'd need ...
