Alarm sounds to indicate power loss or low battery. With Tripp Lite’s free PowerAlert software (available via free web download), the SMART1300LCDT enables safe unattended system shutdown and file saves in case of a prolonged power failure.

Review: Excellent UPS! Very good design, high quality manufacture, and reliable! Update: Addendum re Managing Odor from Some New Units - This is an excellent UPS. And, Tripp Lite makes great products in general. I have never had a significant problem with a Tripp Lite product, and, in fact, I have been using numerous Tripp Lite surge protectors since 1992, and have purchased 6 additional Tripp Lite surge protectors over the past 2 years for additional applications. [NOTE:I have added an update/addendum at the end of this review offering some hints on dealing with the burnt plastic odor that -- according to many other reviewers, and also in my own experience -- seems to be emitted by some of these UPSs -- and was emitted by my own device -- when new and first put into use.] After having experienced numerous unexpected failures with some 1300 VA APC UPSs over the past 5 years, I finally performed extensive due diligence (i.e., research) regarding the most reliable and robust UPSs on the market today, and I recently made the decision to switch to buying only Tripp Lite UPSs for all of my new purchases of UPSs (e.g., for replacement of old UPSs that have died, and for use in new service applications). My new Tripp Lite SMART1300LCDT arrived here the other day, and I installed it immediately as the backup UPS for the router, cable modem, an external hard drive, and one of my PC monitors, and I am very impressed with this backup UPS. The high quality of design and manufacture is quite evident. It is not over-reaching to state that I simply love it! I will note that this UPS has only four battery backup power AC outlets on the rear panel, and they are spaced quite closely together. Therefore, when installing this UPS as a replacement for an older UPS from another brand that had failed in service, I quickly discovered that there was not sufficient room among the four backup power outlets on the back panel to allow me to plug in the three "wall wart"-type AC power adapters 9one each for my router, modem and external HD) and also the plug for my monitor, due to the extra space required for the "wall wart" AC power adapters. So, I plugged one AC power adapter and the plug for my monitor into the battery backup power AC outlets on the rear panel, along with the plug for the 4 foot cable for an external power strip (the power strip has six (6) widely-spaced outlets and is NOT surge protected; it seems to be important to most of the the manufacturers (including Trip Lite) of UPSs that any external AC power strip plugged into the backup AC power outlets must NOT contain any surge protectors or radio-frequency filters (RFI filters), probably due to the high rise-time of the square waves that make up the "modified sine wave" AC output of the UPSs when they are running in battery backup power mode. Bottom line is that I love this UPS, and it has easily passed all of my basic tests. I will add more notes, as warranted, as I accrue more experience with this UPS as the months pass. In closing this section, I will mention that my new UPS, once it had been put into services, did start to emit a moderately-strong "new electronic device" odor, one akin to the smell of burning plastic, and in the Addendum below I will tell you how I chose to manage the odor. However, despite the fact that my new unit has been emitting this moderately-strong level of odor for the past few days, I nonetheless choose to give this UPS a full 5 stars in my review, simply because of the high quality and robustness of the unit, and its proven track record for reliability. So, it still gets 5 stars, and, in fact, I plan to purchase several more of these units over the next year or two for use in other applications. BTW, I called Tripp Lite's Tech Support line to discuss the "new device" odor, not because I was seeking to procure a replacement unit, but because I was wondering exactly what internal components were emitting the odor, and I am expecting to hear back from one of their senior engineers within the next few days with some detailed answers to my questions. In the meantime, the low-level tech support person with whom I spoke (and who agreed to my request that he escalate my questions up the line to the engineers that designed this unit) suggested the following likely source for the odor: he reminded me that this UPS contains a rather hefty power transformer, and that these transformers are potted or sealed in an insulating compound that is similar to a varnish or plastic resin sealant. He suspected that the new transformer, once the UPS has been first put into service, heats up (this is natural, of course) and that this heating "bakes" the potting compound/sealant, and that the potting compound then emits some gases as it finishes curing or setting during the first few days or weeks that the UPS is in service Addendum:- Managing the Burnt Plastic Odor Emitted by Some of these UPSs When New and for the First Few Days or Weeks of Use As you have likely already noticed, a number of other reviewers have mentioned that their new units (as did mine within a few hours of having turned it on when first installed) emitted an odor similar to that of burnt plastic when first put into use, and that the odor lasted for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, or even longer; some of these reviewers had even reported the odor as having been quite strong and quite offensive to them. Now, I do want to point out that several of these reviewers who reported the offensive odor of their new UPS also acknowledged that in their experience, new UPSs from most other manufacturers also seem to emit similar odors when first put into use, and have speculated that this may be true of most new UPSs nowadays that have been made in Chinese factories. I agree with this statement that most new UPSs from most manufacturers do seem to emit a noticeable odor for at least the first few days of service. When I first received my own unit and put it into use recently, it too started to emit a mild burnt plastic odor (the odor was most similar to the odor emitted by Bakelite plastic when drilled or cut with an electric saw) within two hours after it had been first put into service, and I was initially able to smell the odor at distances up to 4 feet from the UPS. . The odor gradually built in strength, to a moderately-strong level, over the next couple of days until, after about 3 days, I could smell it up to about 8 to 10 feet from the unit (which was sitting on the floor in my home office). However, I must state that by the end of the fourth day, the moderately-strong odor was significantly stronger than I have ever witnessed with any other brand or model of UPS, or with any other new electronic equipment (i.e., PCs, cable modems, routers, kilowatt-range DC-to-AC power inverters, kilowatt-range DC power supplies, solar charge controllers, battery chargers, etc.), and it was starting to permeate my small office area.. So, at this point I decided to so something about the odor, because it was becoming quite irritating to me. I decided to do something to remediate the odor, that is, to neutralize it. I am a consulting scientist and engineer, and it just so happens that one of my areas of specialty is remediation and neutralization of odors (in industrial settings, landfills, waterways, etc.) by natural means (i.e., using natural methods, rather than using potentially-harmful "deodorizing" sprays that, in reality, try to mask odors with various artificial perfume-type scents or floral scents). So, due to my unique background and expertise, I fortunately had lots of resources for addressing the odor emitted by the new UPS at my fingertips So, this morning, after having decided to get rid of the odor, I opened two sealed 32 oz. packets of zeolite volcanic rock odor absorber that had been sitting in storage on a shelf in my workshop, and placed them near the UPS (I placed one just above the UPS cabinet, and the other on a desktop about two feet above the UPS and a bit to one side of it. These 32 oz. mesh packets of zeolite volcanic rock granules are marketed widely in home improvement stores, pet stores, and also on desertcart Marketplace as "odor eliminators" or "odor absorbers" (actually, the correct technical term is "odor adsorbers", since the rock granules adsorb odor molecules), and a 32 oz. packet of the granules in a breathable mesh bag usually sells for anywhere form $6 to $10 per bag. The way that these odor adsorbent products work is that zeolite, which is a naturally-occurring volcanic rock, is rather porous, and contains numerous fissures and honeycomb porosities in the surface of the rock granules, thus exposing a large surface area of rock to the air. And it so happens that the surfaces of zeolite exhibit a strong negative electrical charge. This negative electrical charge attracts and then adsorbs any odor or other molecules that are in the air that exhibit a positive charge, and it just so happens that the vast majority of odor molecules, including those causing the burnt plastic smell emitted by my rather new UPS, exhibit a strong positive charge. So, these positively-charged odor molecules are attracted to the granules of zeolite, and are then adsorbed into the numerous fissures and honeycombs on the surface of the rock granules, where they remain trapped. In my case, I emplaced the two newly-opened 32 oz. packets of zeolite odor adsorber in my office area at about 6 AM this morning, and within about three hours, the knockdown of the already-existing odor was about 90 percent. Within about 7 hours from the time of initial emplacement of the zeolite odor absorber (odor adsorber) packs, I could no longer notice the burnt plastic smell at all unless I placed my nose within a few inches of the air ventilation vents on the new UPS. [End of Addendum section offering hints and tips about managing the "new UPS" odor.] In closing, I want to stress once again that this noticeable odor emitted by my new UPS as it "breaks in" is not a showstopper, and it certainly would not stop me from purchasing more of these units.
Review: Responds to outages well, limited capacity, battery failed after 4 years. UPDATED 2021 - Update 2021: I've raised this to five stars from four. I'm writing this review while our wifi/modem/vitals are all running from the UPS due to an outage (we live in tornado country). I replaced the batteries in our unit in 2020 and it was like having a new UPS. Now we get about 2.5 hours of backup for a bunch of devices (modem, wifi mesh, VOIP, cordless phones, Alexa, etc.) with these new batteries. I'd highly recommend anyone who owns this UPS and hasn't replaced the batteries in two years to do so-- these fit perfectly and for $35 have more capacity than the originals: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00BULCOSE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Besides the batteries being replaced, this unit has been flawless. It switches over perfectly, the display data is reasonably accurate, it's not noisy until/unless it's providing power (then the fan is fairly loud). I'd not hesitate to buy another of this model should the need arise. -------------------original review ------------------------ Lots of reviews here so I'll simply leave a response from someone who has used this model for 4+ years. It responds well to outages; we have flickers and brief (<5 min) outages perhaps 6-10 times a year. This works well in those cases. I have it attached to our cable modem, router, NAS, VOIP, and cordless phones. The NAS is set to power down if the outage is more than 5 minutes. With that off the unit will power the rest of our equipment-- basically keeping us connected to the world --for about half an hour. About what I expected given the design stats and price point. The SLA battery at the heart of the unit began to deteriorate in year three and by the end of year four had failed; the unit reported this and no longer provided any UPS function. Replacement batteries run about $35 so call it $10/year to incorporate the cost of batteries into your operating expenses. I replaced mine (easy) and will do so again if it's still running in year seven.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this sport the " Isolated Filter Banks eliminate interference between connected components" like their other surge prot's?**
A: Johny, "isolated filter banks" are exclusive to Tripp Lite's ISOBAR series premium surge protectors and are not available on UPS systems. However, this UPS does offer EMI/RFI line noise filtering. If you need more assistance picking the right solution, please call our Tech Support team at (773)869-1234. Helena from Tripp Lite

**Q: What does "NON RETURNABLE" mean?  So if it's DOA, I'm stuck?  What are the warranty terms?**
A: I know this is an old question. I read today, 5/2023, that sold by Amazon, shipped Amazon is returnable. Other sellers may not allow returns, or Amazon may not have allowed returns in the past. It's right on the product page, seller, shipper, and return policy. Find that and you'll find your answer. Just read the return policy. If you can't read, find someone to read it to you.

**Q: can you use this UPS without using the software**
A: I am using the UPS without the software.

**Q: Will this work for DirecTV receiver?**
A: I have used them on my Directv DVR's for over 6 years. Only once did I have a problem.  The battery died and caused the box to not function.  The unit was over 5 years old and past the batteries life span.  However ask Directv, and they will tell you a different story.  A DVR or any other Directv box is a computer pure and simple.  And so long as the UPS is working correctly you should have no problems.  I have asked several tech's I know, and they agree, Better to use a UPS on ANY sensitive electronics than not. And Directv boxes are NO exception.  FYI my background is building computers and repairing them on occasion.  I have been doing this for over 20 years. So I base all this on personal experience, as well as info gathered from others who buil and repair ALL electronics.

The SLA battery at the heart of the unit began to deteriorate in year three and by the end of year four had failed; the unit reported this and no longer provided any UPS function. Replacement batteries run about $35 so call it $10/year to incorporate the cost of batteries into your operating expenses. I replaced mine (easy) and will do so again if it's still running in year seven.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No problems and plenty of power for my PC
*by L***D on February 8, 2019*

I bought the 1300 VA version for my new gaming PC and ultrawide monitor. My PC is a Z390 based i7-9700k machine that is overclocked and water cooled with a single RTX-2080. I am running an 850W Corsair gold power supply (RM850) but am probably only drawing around 300W at most. My monitor is a 34" Acer Predator X34p. There is a little load indication bar on the display (lower right) of this UPS that shows you how much it is loaded. It is just like a signal bar on a cell phone, maximum is 5 bars. When my system is idling with the monitor sleeping it shows 1 bar of load. During heavy gaming or benchmarking it is at 3 bars. I can't get it to go over 3 bars. This isn't my first UPS but was the simplest. It was fully charged when I received it. All I did was take it out of the box, plop it on my desk, plug everything in (including the USB 2.0 cable from UPS to PC) and thats it. It came almost fully charged out of the box and everything just worked. With the USB cable connected to my PC it shows a battery life indication in my system tray, just like when a laptop is running on battery power. The biggest thing with UPSs is how well the battery holds up over time and how long it is able to power my PC during an outage. I've only had it for a couple weeks and haven't had an outage so this review most certainly could change. But so far its been perfect and it is by far the cheapest one of this size. Tripp Lite has a good reputation too.
