Anecdotal:

I installed an APC 1400 and an APC 1000 in my rack and they held up power for 5 different systems for 6 years. This included two events when power had to be generated by a portable gas generator. After 6 years one of them had a battery die. None of the systems ever had a power-related failure.

An APC 350 held up power for my main desktop but the power supply, an Antec True Power 480, seemed to develop a fault on the 12v rail. The system became unstable until the supply was changed out.
