    Great home UPS. Replacement batteries from local BatteriesPlus store are about $60. APC has traditionally gone up on their prices in their BackUPS and SmartUPS lines, they've rarely go down. They bring out new models with slightly better specs and a small increase in price. I am not saying that they are evil, just how they do business. I only buy APC, BTW.

    Raw materials costs and transportation expenses are hitting the battery industries.

    APC is one of the few companies that have never let me down. I recommend APC to everyone, and have this unit on my desk. Batties from APC are not too expensive if you buy enough that APC waives the shipping fee, but I have had good luck with local battery vendors who charge less for the same model.

    APC is the only way to go for a 'low priced' ups. Batteries are even cheaper online from batterybarn, etc...

    Take this deal to Staples and get them to price match. They will also let you use one of their $25 off $100 online/in-store coupons and get it for even less.
