In Battery Backup (UPS)

Does what it says. Great price point for sine wave.

Had a APC ups NS1080 protected me from serious electrical faults in Bellingham WA, Covington, WA, Seattle, WA and in Polson, MT. From 2016 to 2021. Did a perfect job through brown outs, spikes, lighting storms and blackouts. Just got a bigger one. BX1500. You don't have this your computer system could be in some serious jeopardy. I lost an Itel i7 3770k system (fresh built to a brown out) The CPU/Motherboard, PSU.. . gone

Excellent.

+ • 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

This is a great battery backup. I don't know of anything of comparible quality in this price range.

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.

Affordable and reliable.

Works great. I like the slim upright design.Gives my wife more leg room under her desk. She also can't accidently kick cords loose.

Straightforward set-upQuality constructionEasy to use

Very nice LCD display. Pulled it out of the box, set it up, and plugged it in, while I pulled everything out from the wall, cleaned behind my desk, organized my cables and junk, took out the surge protector. That gave it about 2 hours to sit there on a outlet with nothing on it. I then switched it over to behind my desk, and plugged everything in. :]

Enough power and connections to keep your average desktop up or safely power down when the lights go out. Works smoothly with Network UPS Tools (NUT) under Linux. Informative LCD output. Compact size for easy placement. Replacement batteries inexpensive and easy to find. Worth every penny. I love it.

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.

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

PFC compatible. Pure sine wave. LCD display. Somewhat adjustable voltage sensitivity.

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