  The battery is not replaceable. It does not come out of the slot at all and the connection method may not allow for easy replacement (I couldn't disconnect it by hand or any other way). It works, but I do not recommend it since the battery cannot be changed (and its design is poor, go for more standard shapes).

  Basically, whatever vacation happened, it worked. I didn't leave it until it finished, I closed the devices and then turned it off. It's heavy, some may prefer this format, others may not. The only observation, and of course logical, it emits a little heat from the air vent on the top side. Two UPS sockets, two other simple Surge Protectors. Battery when needed in a few years, I hope to find for replacement.
  It's convenient.

  Update November 2024.
  6.5 years after purchase.
  It works just fine so far. The first battery lasted 3.5 years. The second one lasted 3 years. Of course, the second one was 7ah because I couldn't find 8ah. I replaced the batteries for €15 from Kafka. The issue is that the end of the battery's life was accompanied by the fact that the device kept turning on and off by itself. Along with the TV that was connected. (I had power normally). It should have a safety switch for that. I don't know how other UPS handle this issue.
  With the second battery, the TV simply turned off and wouldn't power back on. Anyway, you should replace it yourself around 3 years (very easy).
  Other than that,
  Completely silent. It has no fan and works with natural air exhaust from the vents on the top. I "tested" it during power outages, circuit breaker trips, voltage drops, and it works as it should. As for the duration of power supply, I have no opinion, since I only want it to turn off the TV as soon as I hear the sound signal. It emits a lot of heat at the bottom, under the 4 screws holding the transformer, not generally. Not that it created any problem on the furniture, but I wouldn't place it on a tablecloth or on the carpet. Plus, it gives you a sense of insecurity in case something happens due to overheating. Of course, I think this happens with other brands/models as well. I placed its feet on a wooden pad so I wouldn't worry.
  The manual is excessively brief. Excessively. It has almost only pictures. It also has a phone cable input/output, probably (the ethernet looks similar, and I didn't go into detail) for surge protection, I assume. It has two socket outlets for UPS use and surge protection and 2 socket outlets for plain surge protection. When the power goes out, it emits a beeping sound (beep-beep), which you can easily turn off by pressing a button on the UPS that deactivates it and stops the power supply to the TV. It also has an AVR voltage stabilizer, as stated on the manufacturer's website. It is very interesting that the manufacturer's website mentions it can be mounted on the wall. Very convenient so it doesn't show. From what I see, it has suitable sockets for that. You can screw it to the wall behind the TV or on the wall under the desk. Something very practical to save space and keep it out of sight.
  In conclusion, reading in general that there are many complaints about all brands in the UPS category, I would say it is probably a good purchase. I mainly focus on the fact that in every outage, circuit breaker trip, and voltage change, it responded perfectly and protected the TV.

  Positive:
  - Design that fits on a desk. That's why I chose it.
  - 4 sockets (2 for simple voltage protection, etc. and the other 2 function as UPS and protection)
  - Phone protection
  - So far, it has worked perfectly during power outages and in 2-3 "tests"
  - 850VA ideal for this price
  - Immediate response from Gembird when I searched for information (Dutch company)

  Negative:
  - The user instructions are so few (in image format, without captions) that I had to contact GemBird for information.
