I used to believe Power tree ones are better than other brands you can find in SL market, but inevitably I had to buy a DCP 4 years ago. despite the not-so-popular-name I'm never dissapointed with it. It has a good backup time, never gave me any troubles and I hope the newer batches are as good as the old ones..

I have Used APC and PowerTree.. I can Recomend you to Use APC.
DCP is Not a Popular brand and I don't no anything about that.

From your List of Choices PowerTree is Ok

Powertree.Definitely.

well i had used 2 powertree ones (within abt 6 or so years) bt both of them worked as intended for ONLY about year or 2 (after that backup time was bad etc.). So am not very pleased with the brand.
Bt as a pc guy zCexVe, can you please explain any reason why i should go for it?


Anyway is APC usually available in local shops? (as i too have heard its good) and whats the normal price ?


BTW i too have heard from DCP users that it is good, although its not that popular.

Thx v much for all ur opinions.

DCP is great.I can vouch for that.But Powertree have a good name and their units were great.I think now their batteries are bad.So if you find them bad go for DCP.I can only vouch 1 year for DCP coz they had only been here for like a year.

The best is defender,If you can get it.

thanks zCexVe,

btw another question, what about APC ? is it available here, and will it be within my budget of abt 4.5k ?

 

[zCexVe]

APC is great,but I dont think you will find them.Metropolitan or e-wis(east west) used to deal with them.You better check with them.
