Back-UPS BE550G by APC

Battery Backup & Surge Protection for Critical Electronics


Back by popular demand, the BE550G represents APC’s proven power protection. When power is interrupted or fluctuates outside safe levels, the BE550G instantly provides clean battery power to your sensitive electronics. Ideal for home and home office devices.

Front and Back of the Battery Backup BE550G
Device Recommendations During an Outage

Plug in the devices you consider critical to the Battery Backup with Surge Protection:

Surge Protection Only: Scanners, printers, small electronics

Battery Backup with Surge Protection: Computers, home entertainment systems like televisions, cable boxes, streaming devices, routers, modems, smart phones, tablets, monitors, laptops and IoT devices.

Critical to plug in

Why use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)?

Plug icon

Stay connected to your critical devices with a dual outlet selection; battery backup with surge protection and surge protection only outlets

Battery Backup

During an outage, the battery backup surge protected outlets deliver clean power for up to an hour depending on the power load of connected devices

Surge Protection

All outlets provide surge protection & will protect your electronics from power disturbances caused by power line surges or voltage electrical spikes

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind – APC provides a 3 year, $75,000 Equipment Protection Policy on the BE550G

Can you adjust the alarm settings?

Yes, in the PowerChute software, UPSs that are connected to computers can have their sensitivity settings adjusted, as well as disable the alarm, if desired.

What is the lifespan of the battery, and does this UPS have a replacement?

Under normal use, the battery in the BE550G should have a lifespan of 3-5 years. When it's time to refresh the battery, APC offers a replacement battery cartridge (RBC) for the BE550G under part # APCRBC110

How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?

Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. In the PowerChute Software, you can see 'Estimated Battery Time' based on the power-draw of your connected devices.

Can I plug my laser printer into a UPS?

Due to the large amount of power used by laser printers, APC does not recommend connecting them to a UPS below 1500VA. If laser printers are connected, it may cause the UPS to transfer to battery repeatedly, exhausting the battery unnecessarily.
