Right now I'm typing this while on battery power. My PC is still processing BOINC work units as well, I'm using about 350w, and I still have about 15 minutes left... :) The software is easy to use, and the Win7 desktop gadget is awesome! Now I know exactly how much current my PC and associated devices use, and the battery is great

These are very good UPSs with easily replaceable batteries after a few years when they go bad to make this an even better unit.

The product is improved from my prior model without much difference in price. I like that the box is just a little bit smaller and better ventilated.


Low budget, inexpensive, effective UPS. Integrates nicely with software for Windows-based PC's

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

I liked everything about the product. Nothing really to do. Take it out of the box, charge for 8 hours, and plug it in. I have a 65" Sony HD TV, An Xfinity Cable box, a Yamaha soundbar and subwoofer, and a Minisforum-Z83F mini-computer plugged in. Protects all and they only use about 300 watts out of the 510.

I like that it protects everything I have running including my router too. My computer would shut down when I printed something due to my network printer. I have the computer in the battery side and my computer does not shut down anymore. I feel like I am protected better than I have ever been before!

Fairly small - this was needed for the location these were being installed Powerful enough - they are only covering 1 PC and 1 other piece of equipment on each. Only need to last 45 seconds before house generator kicks in.


Front panel light is adjustable and you can easily mute it when power does go off from a front panel button.

Lightweight Small footprint

- Compact - Easy to set up

- doesn't necessarily require software to check it's operational status, has its own LCD display menu - large enough for a PC and medium size flat screen TV


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.

mounted to the wall easily. everything works as expected

- 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.

Nicely designed, small form factor for what it provides and a fairly intuitive interface (buttons and LCD on front of unit). I did a test with 32" LG LCD monitor, WD MyBook Thunderbolt Drive, 2019 MacMini with i9 processor, and unit handled flawlessly and no system issues. Was easy to mute the UPS. Unit was packed nicely, included testing let from APC QA and Battery was not connected as it should be. APC seems to be providing better quality than I saw 5 yrs ago and hoping this holds true and sticks.

Great UPS for non- Active Power Factor Correction loads. Designed so batteries can be changed from the front- but... see Other thoughts. I used this UPS to power a Windows Home Server. Grid Junction UPS manager add on recognized the UPS, and all works perfectly- but... see Cons.
