So old APC UPS no longer works battery died years ago. &nbsp;It was cheaper to buy a new one than to send bateries back pay shipping both ways and pay for the UPS.<br />
Todays question is will the old APC UPS still work as a surge protector? &nbsp;This was a model 500.<br />
Nobody buys 500's any more do they?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
