Huh? Every desktop computer in our CLT office has an APC UPS and they're all under 620 V-A, either 350 V-A or 500 V-A depending on which unit we bought at the time ... I have a really nice unit at home that is also 500 V-A

I don't know what they're exact manufacturing arrangements are, but I can vouch that they're low end products in general seem to have take a dive in quality ... the good part being I've never had a problem getting APC to replace the units that have had problems.

I don't think UPS' have firmware that can be updated ... the PowerChute software will be updated no matter what, and I don't see any reason to believe that future versions will not work with your unit, the software is usually backwards compatiable with older APC hardware.

Those smaller UPS's for SURE are made by a Taiwan ODM..
