APC BE425M Back-UPS 6-Outlet Surge Protector & Battery Backup

The APC BE425M is a 425 VA battery backup and surge protector that keeps essential electronics running when the power goes out and guards them against everyday voltage spikes. It suits a home office, a study corner, or a small entertainment setup where a modem, router, desktop PC, or gaming console needs uninterrupted power.

Six outlets give you flexibility. Four of them stay active on battery and surge protection, so your internet connection and critical devices keep working during an outage. The remaining two provide surge protection only, ideal for peripherals such as printers or speakers that are not mission-critical when the lights go off. With a 255 W capacity, the unit comfortably supports the typical load of networking gear and a low-to-mid-power computer.

A 180 Joule surge rating shields equipment from sudden spikes that can shorten the life of electronics. APC backs that promise with a three-year warranty and a lifetime equipment protection policy up to 75 000 USD, adding financial peace of mind on top of electrical safety.

Everyday use is straightforward. Audible alarms and front-panel LEDs tell you when power conditions change, so you are never caught off guard. An intelligent charging system monitors the battery to extend its service life, while included PowerChute software can shut down a connected Windows PC gracefully if an outage runs long.

Placement is simple. The five-foot cord reaches a nearby wall socket, and integrated keyhole slots let you mount the unit on a wall to free up floor or desk space. Its compact footprint fits under a desk or next to a media cabinet without clutter.

Whether you work from home, stream movies, or manage a small retail point-of-sale station, the BE425M delivers affordable and dependable power protection in a package that is easy to set up and easy to live with.
