In Battery Backup (UPS)

This little guy has saved my bum many times. The power in my apartment up at college is very finniky; surging, undervolting and completely going off more often than one would want. It acts both as a UPS and a surge protector. The LCD on it is fantastic; I love seeing how much power is left in the battery and how much my PC is using. The additional software included is great as well!

Already had a couple of power outages from thunder storms recently and this kept my server running without a hitch! I also like being able to see how much of a load is hooked up to it and how much time it's expected to have with the current load.

Best part of this UPS is the LCD display. It has a pocketful of vitals that it can display. I leave it set to Output (in wattage) to keep an eye on my power usage. It has a nice back light that can be seen day or night.

+ • 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.

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

Excellent.

- easy to use and setup - durable

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.

The Eco mode is great for mitigating ghost power. Three peripherals can be plugged in to this section on the UPS, when units detects a power down via a USB connection, it cuts power to those 3 plugs. So, know my speakers and monitors don't draw standby power!

-It is all pros

Ok, its an UPS, nothing to get worked up about. It just does what it's supposed to do and what Cyberpower claims... 'nuff said. Gives me 16min backup on a phenom II 965 be, 8gig, 4 sata drives, 1 dvd burner, 5 usb in use, 5 fans and 1 card reader. Not to shabby. Using my backup silverstone 500w elements as my antec hcg is made by seasonic and rumor has seasonic APFC units not playing nice with simulated sinewaves. That will be tried another day.

I've owned this UPS for several trouble free years and am completely satisfied with it's performance. I bought it when it was first coming to dealers. Newegg didn't even have it listed yet so I got it from another place. With computer (7 fans and single GPU), 42 inch TV, printer, modem, and router, I have 12 minutes of power before it's ready to shut things down. Setup is fairly easy with the software and I prefer to use the on-screen interface rather than the pendant. This thing is super quiet when you are not drawing power from it. I've called technical support before and was always treated with respect, having my questions answered.

mounted to the wall easily. everything works as expected

Basically everything I wrote about the 600w version I bought for my entertainment system (see item N82E16842102132). It's a good balance of price vs capacity. When I bought it for a 900w it was almost 25% more. Software works well (replaced a 900w CyberPower non adaptive sine wave from 2010), and the new version that ships with these incluces a nice gadget for Vista and 7. The old UPS I had blew my expensive SeaSonic X750 (during Chinese New Year so it took a long time to get replaced by SeaSonic). The 2 USB ports on the front for fast charging or nice, but most people won't use them (I won't), and I haven't noticed a measurable difference in charging my Zen or GPS compared to my PC's USB ports. Unlike most UPS's this size (including the old CyberPower units) there are FIVE protected outlets + FIVE surge only outlets

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.
