Great item,able to handle two computer,went thur a bad weather,with power being drop,was able two shut down computers without lose of data.

Cheap, pretty, does what it should, easy to install and operate.

Being located in a remote National Park we get surges from lightning storms and fluctuation also in power drops, because the 70 mile above ground phone line is affected by wind etc . I would highly recommend this unit as it seems to even out the all of these fluctuations.

This unit is built like a tank, which is good because it needs to be sturdy to support the heavy battery inside. Detachable control panel is nice for testing, especially since nobody's going to put this beast of a unit on a table. Link software works well, but does not always send me an email like it's supposed to. Sine wave output works correctly with ThermalTake Toughpower Grand PSUs (which means that newer PSU won't kill power during a transfer from AC to battery).


Came charged Worked right of the box. Plug and go.

Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.

Charged battery and it works great. Have the essentials plugged in for those brownouts and power bumps. Makes life easier when you don't have to restart computers, modems and routers.

- Arrived well-before suggested delivery date. - Well-packaged to prevent any damage. - Set-up was easy with minimal, but very good instructions. - It has been in use for almost two weeks, and there have been no electrical incidents where the backup needed to turn on, so . . . will need to wait to comment on reliability. - Connected to the Back-UPS 1500 are an iMac with two ext HDD's, a Mac mini M2 Pro w/ 4TB of SSD, a studio monitor, and an OWC mini stack STX with a 4 TB HDD and 4 TB of SSD.

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


I'm in IT and have purchased 50-60 of these units in the last 3 years with no problems. No DOA's and non have failed yet. I find that 550VA is great for single workstations like Core2Duo with duel 19" LCD's.

The software provides good, very complete information, I like the detailed performance info and good event logs, so you know at all times what is going on. Strong native Linux support, great run time. This is the UPS to live by.

This battery is awesome. I replaced a couple of smaller UPS's with this one in a telco closet.. love the fact that i can just plug this into our comcast business modem and it goes to the net and does it's thing in the cloud. This did come with a 20Amp plug so i had to change it over to the regular straight plug.. but you can get adapters for those.




Great product. Seamless switch to battery. Quality of APC for homeowners needing low watt demand. DO IT its worth it!!!! *** I have more UPCs in a commercial environment than I know what to do with.......this is in my personal residence, I know what a good UPC is.

Aeeived quickly, plugged it in, and went to work. Solid as a rock. Can daisy chain batteries for extra time.

Wow, this UPS is nice. I was a little sceptical buying from cyberpower as I've never owned one of their products before, but I'm glad I went ahead with this UPS. It has 9 outlets. Thats n-i-n-e outlets, 5 of which are on battery backup. Thats incredible. A majority of the other battery b/u I was looking at at this price had about 4-5. It's not very big at all either, fits very easily underneath my desk, and it puts off virtually NO heat. The LCD is very neat and allows you to see how much time you have left on you battery power, your input and output voltage, the battery's capacity, and a few other screens. It keeps my computer well over 11 minutes on battery backup. This unit also has AVR protection and the auto shutdown software, which if you are too lazy will display everything that is displayed on the lcd screen itself. Also the beep it makes when the power is cut is not annoyingly loud as on other units. It's very aesthetically pleasing too look at to top it all off.
