My CP850PFCLCD works perfect. I've connected to it 2 computers (one for games), printer, charges, laptop. It works 5 min. through battery with almost full load. It's OK. When power cut the UPS switches to battery very well. No any sound from UPS. You can install it next to your bed and sleep ).
longer running times, uses the Powerchute app which is great.
Best value in the $100 to $300 price range. Set Up Time: As fast as you can plug it in Newegg Beat all other competitor's online prices Runs quietly Normal expected heat generation Has 2 USB Charge Ports: (1 USB-A 2.4A, 1 USB-C 15W) ( A lot of competitor's have 0 in this price range or use older tech) Has 12 Outlets while some competitor's only have 10
Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.
+ • 5 Battery backup outlets • All outlets protected with surge suppression. • USB charging port (1.5A) • PC power monitoring software (PowerChute) • LED power mode indicator (AC, battery backup) • Muted aesthetics, not an eye catcher. • 45º angled power plug is great for crowded outlets or power strips. • Seamless backup power in the event of power loss. I set this battery backup for use with my PC and monitor, and has been a great addition to my set up. The PowerChute software provides almost real-time power consumption and estimated battery run time on power failure. The PowerChute software can be configured to shut down your PC for you in the event of power loss, at a set interval of time. For my hardware scenario I set the software to 5 minutes on battery before shutting down my PC, given my current PC hardware configuration. Current specs: i7 5820k x99 motherboard GTX 1060 6GB OC 16GB DDR4 1.35v (2x 8GB) 2 SSD’s, and one 3TB WD black HD. 1x BD/DVD optical. 4 140mm fans, 2 120mm fans 630W 80+ gold rated PSU This battery backup is sufficient for my use, as even under load (gaming) the software reports that I should have more than 6 minutes of battery run time. At idle the PowerChute software reports that I should have 18+ minutes on battery, which is plenty of time to save work and shut down should I choose to extend the battery run time before auto shutdown. Some other nice features of the PowerChute software is that it can report daily cost of operating attached equipment, total energy usage per month in kWh and interestingly estimated carbon dioxide emissions per day. Perform firmware updates, run self diagnostics, set hours at which alarms are active (if you dont want to be alerted to an alarm at 3 a.m.) What I’ve checked most often is the current energy consumption and load on battery backup. I was surprised to see that my system uses much less energy than I thought, with an average of 115 Watts at idle, and 265 +/- Watts under load, this is including my 144Hz monitor drawing 23 Watts. I really like the addition of a USB charging port, which also provides power on battery. This is a great way to charge your phone in a power outage, a 1.5 amp capacity should be enough for most phones and most tablets.
Kinda small and not too heavy plenty of outlets for my use case good battery life for the price
Easy setup Clean looking Easy management
Plenty of power in this unit. And the best price I could find on the internet. Has a full Gigabit throughput on Ethernet surge circuit....that is why I purchased this unit.
Well packed manufacturer packaging. Very clear multi-lingual user manual that is well worth the time reading the few pages in your chosen language. Very clear warning markers attached to UPS. Very difficult to install and use this unit without seeing the warning marker to connect the internal batteries. Silent operation; it does not have any fans on/in it that I can tell. Novel "master slave" outlet pairing. Lose power to the "master" device and the "slave" device turns off immediately. The manual tells me this feature is disabled by default, but read the user manual carefully to fully understand it's operation.
Simple battery connection and change out, no need to use screws and dis assemble the unit like other brands. I have had these ware out over many many years but they still last the longest and easy to swap out old batteries is a must for me.
Affordable and reliable.
This is a great little battery backup that supports PFC.
Have purchased several APC UPS products in the past and I was not disappointed with this model. Like the small foot prInt with the outlets located on top. Working great so far.
Ok, to get this out of the way--ONE button does everything. Not the most convenient thing for consumers to do but simplifies things for the maker of the product except when people call them and go "blah blah, how do I do this or dat?" The instructions come with it on how to set settings though. Voltage trip range could be set to sensitive, normal, or high. I left it on normal, which is preset, and it tripped once within a week--I heard a click from the unit, which means it activated. Also, audio alarm could be disabled (or couple other options as to when it would activate), all of which also is set by one button.. meh. You have to hold button for so long, blah, do so long of a press blah, blah blah... meh. Green power LED is very nice looking but too bright for bedrooms, so I had to put a sticky note paper over it and paint that area with a black permanent marker (in reverse order) to keep that light from shining brightly in the room. Overall: it is a very nice polished looking product for a reasonable price.
- Great deal price - Plenty of plugins both battery backup and just surge - Very easy to activate battery - Like the LCD status info on front.
Rack Mount, LCD readout for Load, Time Left etc. Easy to use interface.
Easy to set up and use.
