[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3201151, member: 3099"] Man I hate to hear this, I've been a longtime fan of APC's stuff. My X-S 1500 is still rocking along and I don't even remember how long I've had it, probably 10 years. I've replaced the battery once and it's probably not long before needing it again. And a general FYI. During the last big tornado that came through Moore I was in the cellar when I lost my router due to the power going out. The next day they choked off all of us from cell towers and limited them to fire, police and EMS. IDK how they do that but they do! And we had more storms forecasted. :pissed: So it's a really good idea to have an inverter generator to run your router, computer, flat screen TV's etc. even if it's just a small one dedicated for that alone. Otherwise you are totally cutoff from info. Of course the whole house generator models are inverter and that's one reason they are more expensive, so if you go that route you are already good.
