Works well, but in basic mode on Linux without an interface.
The parcel with the inverter arrived on time. It works perfectly. The monitoring and management of the parameters of the EATON ELLIPSE ECO 650 USB UPS is difficult to set up, and does not work well. If I leave the USB plug connected to the computer, it causes the computer to restart automatically. So I unplug the USB from the inverter, and only plug it in when I need to.

A satisfactory purchase
UPS chosen to power and protect tower, screen, box and printer. Delivered on time in satisfactory packaging.
No problems after 4 months of use.
The only downside is that configuring USB communication with my Linux PC, using nut-2.8, is tricky. Dedicated software from Eaton would have been appreciated.Review automatically translated -

Correct
I already own 3 inverters of this brand, and this one makes 4.
If we stay with this type, the ECO and PRO versions will be the same.
The PC software is bogus and only allows you to display and connect to 1 inverter at a time.
The software is dated, old, full of bugs and unusable for multiple inverters.
Secondly, the larger the capacity of your inverter, the noisier it will be, so it shouldn't be used in living areas.
Thirdly, when there are power cuts, they sound very loud, which is normal but good to know.
Read the instructions carefully to find out where to plug in.
Good inverter, lousy PC software, easy to use.Review automatically translated -

Very good product but unprotected packaging
The Eaton 650 is a good product. The batteries started up well automatically in case of a power cut. I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product. I have taken one star off because LDLC can do a lot better with the packaging... The box was simply sent as is, without any additional protection.

Synology DS920+ NAS and UPS
Inverter as expected.
Larger than expected, but very quiet.

Does its job, but the USB connection blocks the PC's sleep mode
The inverter is easy to install and seems to work without problems
The only drawback is that the USB connection that allows the software to control the inverter from the PC prevents the PC from going into standby mode: it goes into standby and comes out a few seconds later.
The problem seems to have been known for a long time if you look a bit on the Internet
I contacted Eaton support about this, no answer...
The workaround is obvious, but a bit painful: you just have to unplug the USB cable before putting the PC to sleep.Review automatically translated -

Eaton Ellipse ECO 650 USB on Synology DS218+ NAS
The UPS is perfectly recognized by my Synology NAS. I installed WinNUT on my laptop to check the UPS status.
In battery mode, I have 30 minutes of autonomy with a NAS, a 24" screen, a printer and a RJ45 switch. I have programmed the NAS to shut down after 10 minutes of power outage.Review automatically translated -

They say it's easy to install. I don't recommend it! Any more and I will return this inverter.

Nothing to complain about
Product delivered in good condition and on time.
The question (independent of LDLC) is how many years will the battery last ...Review automatically translated -

Eaton UPS
very good, I like it very much to be able to place it flat under the screen, with plugs within reach for the various connections. It frees up space in my computer office

quiet and heavy
Good inverter, with "normal: round" plugs. I use it in music to protect synthesizers in Live. ( not to be used with lamp heads ). it remains discreet in case of power failure.

Very good product quality
Received today (ordered on 20/04) and installed in minutes to protect my QNAPS NAS, my network/Wifi switch and my internet access Freebox.
The device is very well recognised by QTS/QNAPS and will allow a safe shutdown during an outage and a clean shutdown if the outage is prolonged.
4 sockets, 1 of which manages the shutdown of peripherals. However, this one is not on the batteries. So in fact 4 sockets secured against overvoltage and 3 against power cuts. Not indicated, hence the 9/10 rating. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it will be a good one.Review automatically translated -

Well managed delivery concerns.
Thanks to LDLC, which was about to send me back the delivery because of a gross error of the carrier.
The inverter has already been put into operation due to yet another ENEDIS outage.
Thank you.Review automatically translated -

Compact product, good enough for a small home server. The usb driver under Linux works well too. Perfect for peace of mind!

Good quality inverter for a good price
Eaton being a recognized brand, the support of the material is assured, it is perfectly recognized whatever the operating system (I use it under Windows 19 and FreeBSD)
Easy to configure and to put into production, it is the ideal purchase to avoid the big problems which can occur following a power cut or a surge on the network.
At home, it powers a microserver that hosts several services (NAS, cloud and multimedia), a screen and a Surface docking station. I am so satisfied with the product that I also ordered its "little brother" to power my modem, my router and a switch. My "infrastructure" is safe.
The shipment went smoothly, I received it perfectly packed in 4 days.Review automatically translated -

Impeccable
Purchased to protect two desktop computers with their peripherals.
Positioned vertically, it takes up very little space. I also like the quiet operation and the USB connection for setting up and monitoring the operation. This way I can see the percentage of power used and the battery life in case of a power cut.
The user-replaceable battery was a criterion for my choice.Review automatically translated -

Very good product
Easy to use, seamless integration with a Synology DS218 NAS via the USB port, approx. 30-35 minutes battery life.

Opinion after 5 months of use
I use this UPS with a Synology DS918+ NAS and an internet box.
The USB connection and configuration between the NAS and the UPS is easy. The UPS is also very easy to configure via the manufacturer's program.
In 5 months, I once had a power cut of more than 5 minutes. The communication between the NAS and the UPS worked very well. The NAS was programmed to shut down properly if the UPS went into battery mode for more than 5 minutes and it worked fine as requested.
The NAS was programmed to shut down properly if the UPS goes into battery mode for more than 5 minutes and it worked very well as requested. However, I think that 2 USB slots would have been a little more to be able to connect to both a PC and the NAS via USB, but it works fine afterwards.
The inverter does not make any noise, which is a nice touch.Review automatically translated -

Does the job and well.
Good quality product, easy to install, keeps power on for about 30 minutes.
On the other hand, not necessarily easy to set up, we don't really know what we can do or not do.Review automatically translated -

Big protection!
I bought it because I burned out a graphics card that was less than 3 years old (gtx 970)
Now I have a protection for my PC!
I'm glad that for a hundred euros I can protect my whole config thanks to it!
It protects from lightning even from the internet cable!

A storm, a power failure? No problem! Eaton is there.
I have owned several MGE inverters for over 10 years and apart from one battery change since then, they deliver on their promise.
This one is a small model for me but I didn't need more to power a mini server, a printer and external hard drives (total ~60w).
This is the smallest of the Ellipse range and it has the handy USB management.
Once set up, it is able to properly shut down the connected computer when the battery gets too low. Ideal when the power outage is too long and you are on the move.
The management application also allows you to view your power consumption and assess the cost. I would like to point out that you can't apply a day rate and a night rate. You have to average the kWh and that's a shame.
For my use, the battery lasts at least 35 minutes without any problem, which is more than enough.
One point I really liked about this model is that it is possible to connect a PLC module to the EcoControl socket. The UPS is able to protect one RJ-45 cable but when you need two (server + network printer) it is easier to protect the PLC module directly.
Make sure your "ground" is good if you want to be sure to be protected against lightning.Review automatically translated -

+15%
Hello,
New NAS, new UPS. The old Eaton Protection Station 650 (USB) has been working for many years and continues to monitor a DS211, without failing or changing the battery. Here only 4 sockets, 3 of which are emergency sockets, but what I wanted was a smaller volume and two positions, horizontal or vertical, for the new configuration. The ransom of youth or the beginning of an ageing at 100% load the available time is 15% higher for the same electrical characteristics.
Special feature of the shipment: the package is not over-protected, it is original without any frills.Review automatically translated -

UPS used for NAS and Box
I am not disappointed with my purchase.
The synology NAS recognized the UPS directly.
I did a power failure test. Nothing to complain about.
The NAS stopped correctly. Autonomy correct.
I am very happy with my purchase.Review automatically translated -

PC + Box inverter
I recommend using a UPS if you are afraid of hurting a PC or NAS hard drive (because it doesn't like it), personally I bought it because I had a big setup up and connected it to my box so I wouldn't have an internet crash in the middle of the game.

FreeBSD compatible
It is to my knowledge one of the only UPS recognized by FreeBSD. I bought it to protect my NAS in case of power loss. As said above the USB connection works fine.
A good UPS.Review automatically translated -

Inverter for standard use
I bought this product to secure the power supply of a screen, a central unit based on a dual core processor with an integrated gpu.
Using a Linux system, I was able to get the right management software to comfortably manage my UPS.
The only problem was that I had to connect the battery myself because the product did not work when it came out of the box.Review automatically translated
