I need to replace it with something reliable yet inexpensive and wonder what others may use. My needs are to protect use of a gaming PC and monitor only so the load is not going to exceed around 700-750 watts. Also required is surge protection and USB connection to enable an automatic shutdown when the mains goes off. Any suggestions of makes and models would be appreciated. My optimum price would be £100 or less. Awards

Belkin has discontinued this model and no longer seems to make/market them. I have looked into replacement batteries as you suggest and this may be the better option. There seem to be few reviews on UPS other than those on Amazon. (Thanks for the response @@Damage_inc- but I am looking for an external uninterruptible power supply rather than an internal power supply - UPS not PSU ) Damage_inc- and hxtr 2 Awards

The batteries on all don't last more than 3 years being Led Acid batteries and they are easy to change. A 1500VA which is quite large for home use has two batteries and is just over $200. Otherwise I like Triplight. Good Luck DeeJay.... and screw the hater's above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. DEEJAYKEG 1

Checking the inventory of my usual suppliers, I have seen a distinct lack of middle range UPS devices. They go from fairly gutless 320W models up to those designed to protect businesses and networks with little in between. APC is an established brand but they are very expensive in this country. I shall be paying $61 for a pair of replacement batteries, including delivery. hxtr 1 Awards
