It works just fine with my active PFC power supply, which is an older Ultra X3 1000watt. I just pulled the plug from the wall to test, the thing switched over just fine, and I'm currently writing this on battery. What can I say? Its hard to get too excited over a UPS.

i have 1 gaming pc ,a ps4,a router and 2 monitors pluged into it. i love that it has a display of the load on it.

Excellent.

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

This is a great little battery backup that supports PFC.

Good, reliable, relatively inexpensive UPS. Smallest APC model with replaceable battery. Third-party replacement batteries work fine. The USB charging port is a nice touch and helps limit users trying to charge off their docking stations.


Looks great and weighs way less then 5 yo APC unit it replaced. Love the display Hope it lasts


Let me start off by saying, I have been using APC products by Schneider for more than 13 years, and have had many different models from Smart-UPS to Back-UPS, and all of them have performed excellent by keeping all of my very expensive equipment safe. To be completely honest with you, you would have to be insane to plug your expensive devises directly into the wall and not into an APC-UPS, but I would never use a low quality surge protector ,I would not dare plugging a $1,300 device in a $ 12 surge protector. I am currently using 3 APC-Back-UPS XS1500 protecting my very expensive water-cooled custom built computers at a value around $1,200 to $1,600. I would not trust another brand to protect my property. I am currently using the APC BE425M Back-UPS 425 VA 255 Watts to protect my entertainment system. 255 Watts is more than enough for a 50 inch TV, Small Form Factor PCs, and my eight channels surveillance DVR kit, and a 1000W 5.1 surround system. APC is the absolute best brand of UPS you can buy. Please do not wait till you have a lighting surge or some sort of power surge and destroy your property before you buy an APC-UPS.

Able to run my gaming computer at max potential with my monitor for 3 minutes or more, enough to withstand a electric blink.

Lots of outlets, a "master" power plug can shut power off to peripherals when the tower is off. Fit and finish seem very good.

It supplies backup power to the connected devices during storms. We connect our 5G Home Internet gateway to it, so the UPS keeps it running when there is a moment of outage.

Delivers clean power to large PC (800watts), Printer, 24" monitor, and other misc items without issues. Still providing a 16 min runtime for battery back up.

I bought this to protect my Mac Mini setup. Lately we've been having power issues due to stormy weather, and my Mini was just too expensive to plug into a "surge protector." This is a nice UPS, especially for the price. The display is informative and you can keep tabs on how much power you're drawing from the 'battery side' of the unit. I'm quite surprised that my monitor and mini are only drawing an average of 25 watts!

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

I like the voltage readout and the load and battery life graphs.

Good feature/price ratio. It has the PFC sine wave, which is more efficient than the regular simulated stepped wave. It is small for the rated power value.

Having had the BE750G and 3 BE550G UPS units, when I was in the market for another, I decided to get this BE650G1 while on sale. Even thought none of these are true sine wave UPS, I only have Corsair and Cooler Master PSU's, and they all work flawlessly with these UPS models. Try taking an active PFC PSU, connected to a non true sine wave UPS, unplug the UPS and see what happens. Most PC's will just be off, as if power was out without any UPS. With the BE models, and a corsair PSU, pulling the plug is a non issue. With the Cooler Master PSU, you can hear a slight buzz from the PSU. For a short period of time, this isn't going to harm the PSU, by short period of time I mean 15 to 20 minutes. Every active PFC PSU manufacturer's PSU will respond differently to a non true sine wave PSU, such as Antec, which will simply act as if power has been removed from the PC.

Comes with incredibly well written instructions. Software is fully featured and allows for control, same as the LCD menu.
