Tower UPS with USB Drive

The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000C is a tower-form battery backup rated at 2.88kVA and 2.7kW output capacity. It delivers pure sine-wave power at 120V to protect entry-level servers, networking gear and point-of-sale equipment. The bundle adds a 16GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler drive for portable data storage. SmartConnect enables remote monitoring and firmware updates through a secure web portal.

Suited for 120V environments needing managed backup

This unit fits small-to-medium businesses and home offices running on 120V utility power with a NEMA L5-30P inlet. It provides ten battery-backed outlets, automatic voltage regulation and Green Mode efficiency. It is not for sites requiring a different input voltage, extended runtime at full load, or a rack-mount form factor.

5.1 minutes runtime at full load

At maximum rated load the UPS supplies power for 5.1 minutes before shutdown. Automatic self-tests and temperature-compensated charging help preserve battery health over time. The NEMA L5-30P input and 120V output voltage are fixed specifications that must match the site wiring.

Questions about this item

How often does the internal battery need replacement on the SMT3000C?

The sealed lead-acid battery typically lasts three to five years; APC recommends replacing it when the self-test reports a weak cell or runtime drops below the 5.1 minute full-load figure.

What is the first limit reached when the SMT3000C runs at full 2.7 kW continuously?

Battery runtime ends after 5.1 minutes at full power, so the UPS will shut down unless the load is reduced or an external battery pack is added.

How loud and hot does the SMT3000C get during all-day operation?

In Green Mode the unit runs at high efficiency with temperature-compensated charging, keeping fan noise low and heat output modest for a 116 lb tower.
