Question 1

Does the display show current draw?

Accepted Answer

No. It displays voltage input/output, percentage of max draw used, battery charge percentage, and time left in minutes based on current usage(when soley on battery).

Question 2

Can the battery be replaced?

Accepted Answer

I got this question in email. Didn't buy it. They would not make something like this to replace the battery since that's most of the cost of the unit. I've been around gear a long time and you always look at what costs the most. It's not worth them to make these that way. Sorry about your troubles it's on sale and the warranty if you had one would cover this. 4 year plan 13.99

Question 3

I have a 65UH8500 TV also a Dell XPS8930 --- Will this UPS be compatible for the surge/battery ECO?

Accepted Answer

I do not know why it wouldn't work.   Any electrical appliance should work with this UPS as long as you do not exceed the total wattage.   I have been real happy with this UPS.   Ken

Question 4

I want a UPS for a TiVo, Apple TV box and cable box (not the TV itself).  Can the ECO mode be disabled in this case? Or can I only disable ECO mode when connected to a computer?  Also not sure how to determine wattage needed.  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

This wattage is more than enough for what you have plus room for more. The modes can be adjusted via the unit itself. If you have an led backlit tv you may also place it on the battery side. I would recommend using the CyberPower CP850PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 850 VA 510 Watts PFC Compatible Mini-Tower. As it offers pure sine which is a god send plus has protection for your cable line which is a must if your trying to protect your electronics. Most lightning damage in my experience travels through your internet and cable lines. Pass all outside incoming lines through this and maybe add your router and modem on the battery side as well for a complete black out resistant system.  Plus the pure sine will make sure your electronics are getting the exact voltage and frequency at all times.

Question 5

My computer flickers when my central AC unit or window air conditioner turns on and sometimes my computer will restart.. I have a 850 watt power supply but I will be replacing my current AMD card with the less power hungry 1070 when it is in stock again. Will this be able to keep my computer on for the fraction of a second so it does not turn off?
since the 1070 recommends 500 watts.
I have a 2600k overclocked to 4.6 ghz turbo, 2 HHDs, 12 gbs of ram(4 dims) and antec 920 liquid cooler with 2 fans. and 4 other additional fans.

Accepted Answer

As long as your PC power do not exceed 510W( and 850VA), this product should keep the PC on for around 10min in the case of power outage. This product should be able to prevent the flickers produced by electric surge.
To check your PC's total power in Watt, you can find some tool online. To check the VA power, you may need a power meter or do some calculation, check online.

Question 6

Cyber power's website strangely says the battery is not replaceable on this so I can't look up the battery's model number, could anyone comment on what model number it is? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Batteries should not be replaced, in practical terms, if their price exceeds that of the full product or are a substantial percentage of the full price. I can more easily determine that, which helps me decide if I should buy this product, based on the battery's price, including shipping. 
Can anyone else tell me what model number it is?

Question 7

Does the accompanying software do a clean shutdown in Windows  before the battery runs out to avoid data corruption on the hard drive?

Accepted Answer

In theory, yes. If your computer takes forever to shutdown, maybe not.

Question 8

Does the app for the computer listed for this unit work with the linux operating systems? If not, do you know of one that will turn the pc off when it detects the power going out?

Accepted Answer

There are two different ways to monitor a UPS with linux either expose the UPS hardware to GNOME Power Manager through hal or monitor the UPS directly with upsmon and upsd.
