After 2 years, dead battery, my old inverter lasted 4 to 5 years, the 9AH of the battery seems to me limited for an inverter of 650W.

Not convinced
I wasn't really convinced by this inverter. APC is a good brand, but it only lasts 2 years, which is less than my previous inverters. What's more, when you switch it on, there's a strident buzzer that's really too long, it's not very discreet and it's annoying. In short, I won't be buying this model again.

Good inverter but can be improved
The inverter is easy to commission, but the diagram for connecting the battery is unreadable. A little effort, APC.
Used to protect a computer system and the box in a village where there are frequent power cuts, the thing does the job. Very quiet in operation. In the event of a power cut, it signals the cut without tearing your ears, a good point for it.
On the other hand, the lighting of the front panel by leds was not essential, the on/off button would have been enough. This debauchery of light can be practical to get up at night, otherwise I do not see. The inverter heats up slightly, which is normal, it also heats up if it is switched off, but remains connected. It is therefore necessary to unplug it in case of prolonged absence.Review automatically translated -

Works well but........
This inverter heats up quite a bit, even when it's switched off and just plugged into the mains, I can't understand why.
When running with just a box and an office PC plugged in it heats up a bit more.
I'm afraid that in the winter it will be 35 degrees in the summer. And the beeping when it turns on is deafening.
So pretty average actually.Review automatically translated
