I like having the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) capability which I have in my 1998 and 1999 model APC Back-UPS Pro units. This series is no longer in production. Quoting the description of the LS and the RS series: "AVR instantly adjusts both low and high voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations," I believe this feature is important in areas of the country where we have already seen massive brown outs in years past. However, I have seen statements indicating that today's computers are quite tolerant of low voltage, brownout conditions. And the LS and RS series carry the same RBC2 battery that my units have. I have replaced the battery in each box once, but there are signs that the oldest battery (6 1/2 years) needs replacement soon. It looks like the ES series does not have the space required for the RBC2 battery. Perhaps Bruce can tell us what APC models he uses for his systems.
