I have an XS 1000 and an XS 1300. The XS 1300 has flaky communications
via USB, you can't count on it being recognized by Windows. I've had no
problems with anything else USB (even an old Canon 4200F scanner). APC
replaced it once, but the new one had the same problem. I *think* that
APC had a bad USB implementation and just refuses to acknowledge the
problem. Hopefully the newer Back-UPS's have the problem solved.

I ordered a pair. Big $$$. I need to replace an APC XS1500USB UPS that
seems to
have gone away---The APC PowerChute icon now shows a yellowtrianble
w/Exclamation point.
And, the ups will not do a 'self-test.' This tells me some sort of
internal trouble.
Besides, this old ups was made in India. No I'm not a biggot! I was
just surprised back in 2006
when I got it and put it to work. Yes, the batteries were replaced in
2009. Now it is 2013 (late) and
I could suppose it may be time for new batteries. FINE! I will do
this(and make this ups a house spare).
But, I ordered a BR1500G as a replacement! My choice.
So, any negative opinions about the APC BR1500G ups?
Thanks,
Duncan
