A great home UPS for providing power for limited power failures
I purchased this UPS to provide continued power for my fibre broadband ONT (my router is on a separate UPS), so that I have continued broadband for a limited amount of time and digital voiceThe UPS is well built, and has 6 UPS enabled outlets, along with 2 surge protected outlets and 2 USB outlets. For the UPS and surge protected outlets, they are standard UK plug types which is useful and is easier to connect domestic devices than many other UPS devices that typically power IT related equipment and have the common cloverleaf cable outletsThe UPS seems to be of great quality and is easy to use, at it’s most basic level, plug in, power up, plug in devices and you’re ready to go. If used to provide power to desktops/laptops etc., a USB connection can also be used, along with some downloaded software to manage what happens if there’s a general power outageOverall, I believe this UBS to be very practical for a home user not looking just to connect IT equipment and in terms of the UPS products sold by my broadband/phone provider, BT, this is much more practical a product and provides much more functionalityI would definitely recommend and I will be looking to purchase further units to provide power to other key items in my houseUpdate: following a power outage as a local transformer blew up, I was without power for around 5 - 6 hours, during which time I had no problem in keeping my ONT alive as well as my backup 4G router, if my main BT router went offline (that’s served by a separate, much lower quality BT supplied UPS). For my purposes, a cannot recommend this UPS highly enough

Seems good enough but only six of the eight sockets have backup power
Only just got this so I'll update the review in the next couple of months. Ultimately it seems to be doing a good job but the real test will come when the power goes out. For those putting this in a server rack like I did it's about 4U high with plugs (some of them chunky). Something I didn't realise because I didn't clearly read it properly was out of the 8 sockets only six of them are backup power protected. The other two are simply search protected and will not remain powered on if the power goes.

Works with UGREEN NAS DXP 4800+
Couldn't find much info regards UPS and the UGREEN NAS DXP 4800+So here it is:Bought the APC BACK-UPS ES - BE650G2-UK (£107 on 2025-07-15).Arrived, as new with a Leoch DJW12-9.0 battery. Was fully charged, or was reporting fully charged when it arrived.Did some quick tests with a lamp attached and all behaving as you would expect. Light stayed on if power was cut.Connected the NAS, attached the supplied cable - network plug into UPS and USB into the NAS.Booted the NAS and went to: Ugreen OS > Control Panel > Hardware & Power > UPSUPS was recognized as American Power Conversion Back-UPS BE650G2 FW497200G-497300GThe Ugreen control panel also shoes the power capacity of the UPS. Useful.Set protection mode to Auto Shutdown. Set wait time to Minimum Value in custom time = 5 mins.Unplugged the UPS. the NAS detected the power out and reported it was shutting down in 5 mins. Which it did.UPS battery went from 97% to 88% in that time. other devices connected were 3 active External USB drives and a lamp.Reconnected power and restarted NAS. During boot, the lamp flashed, the NAS shutdown and the UPS power light flashed red for a second. Potentially overloaded? Unplugged lamp and tried again and NAS booted fine.Curious, I'm not sure I'm near the 400w limit with a NAS (with 3 HDDs and 2 NVMEs - NAS PSU is 150w), 3 external USBs HDDs (est 25w each) and a 7.5w lamp....In my case - the UPS is only for the NAS. It will be the only thing plugged into it (maybe a router as well).So yes, this particular UPS works with the UGREEN NAS DXP 4800 plus.Other benefits - has a user swappable battery. From what I've read the batteries might only last a few years, so option to swap out for approx £30 instead of buying a new UPS is good.The UPS is a chunky. But has 8 sockets, 6 of them battery protected.Doesn't seem to make any noise (apart from beeps when power is out) - not fan noise etc.Haven't tested Powerchute control software etc - I'm not planning on connecting my PC to it.Screenshot attached of the UPS info in the UGREEN OS.4 Stars - Expensive, especially with a limited life on the battery, but it is also overkill for my specific needs. But no other options seem to be available - Ideally a one plug NAS focused basic UPS for home use. Ugreen have something (ugreen 120w dc ups) but its not available outside China yet. The blip during boot also needs more investigation.
