In Battery Backup (UPS)

The UPS is full black with white display. It supplies pure sine wave to the expensive components such as a PC or a TV. It has worked perfectly and it feels justified to be careful about the power supplied to expensive components. I used to have a skimped out surge protector in the past. But I saw these puppies on shell shocker sale and bought two of them. They look great, occupy very little space and are very powerful!

LED Display ~ Shows current load of devices, Battery status, And current outlet voltage status. Black case (And yes that's important to me) Connects to PC thru USB for graceful shutdown Mute button for alarm, Finally! Thanks for this APC

I'm using this UPS to provide backup power to the following: "Cable Gateway" (computer modem/IP phone) network router primary desktop computer 1 display/monitor cordless phone base unit. When the UPS is in standby (on AC power) mode the Power Panel software shows the "battery capacity" @ 100% and the "remaining battery runtime" to be 37 minutes at the load level created by the equipment listed above. I've been present for two power outages since installing the UPS. Here are my observations: The first outage was just a 2-3 second dip and when I opened the (previously downloaded/installed) Power Panel software the power had already returned. The software indicated that the "battery capacity" was 91% and the "remaining battery runtime" was 31 minutes. The 2nd outage lasted about 4 to 5 minutes. This time I opened the Power Panel software while the power was out and was observing the "current status" screen when the power came back on. When the power was restored the software indicated that the "battery capacity" was 73% and the "remaining battery runtime" was 21 minutes. These readings indicate that the battery discharges faster than one would expect based on the information shown when the UPS is "fully charged " and receiving AC power. While based on a VERY small information sample, I think the "remaining battery runtime" figures are probably skewed to the "charitable" side and one should not expect to keep on working for very long if the power goes out but rather should save their work and shut things down in an orderly fashion. Additionally the software is designed to automatically do a controlled shut down of the computer where the Power Panel software is installed either: a ... after 5 minutes of no AC (to preserve the backup battery for subsequent outages). or b ... when the battery is 5 minutes from depletion (to keep the protected equipment working as long as possible). In summary, I'm pleased with my purchase and here's why: Typically, in my neighborhood, power outages are more like the first one I described above ... just seconds long, rather than minutes or hours. With the most recent equipment upgrade, Comcast (my internet provider) no longer provides a backup battery for the Cable Gateway unit. As a result, whenever there was even the smallest flicker in the AC the modem/phone/desktop/router would crash and reboot (a rather time consuming evolution). Installing the UPS made more sense to me than buying a $40.00 backup battery for the rented Gateway equipment. Now, instead of the modem and router and desktop and phone crashing when the AC hiccups, things just "keep on keeping on" ... a very good thing in my opinion. And, it was on sale as well. So, this purchase gets a smile from me along with a 4 or 5 star rating.

Easy to setup. Easy to understand. I like the LCD feature and knowing the power consumption of my components. Relatively small compared to past UPS units and not nearly as heavy (~25lbs)

- Had some thunderstorms hit my area yesterday and this kept my equipment up through two quick outages. <thumbs up> - This should give me enough time to save files and exit Windows or just put the computer into Sleep mode. - Good amount of outlets. - Easy to read LCD

This APC BR1500MS2 Back UPS PRO backs up and stabilizes the power to my network modem, router, NAS, PBX, FAX machine and VoIP interface. It also protects them from surges. Even momentary power interruptions can be a serious interruption to my wife's and my work and potentially costly. Brief utility power interruptions cause no problems on our network. During a sustained outage, the internal batteries in this UPS keep our network infrastructure running long enough for me to start our backup power generator and get it on-line. Living on a coastal island in a hurricane zone, power glitches are common. My previous UPS was a similar APC model that served me well for more than ten years before it needed another set of batteries and was on the verge of being functionally obsolete.

- fast shipping after ordering on web - fast receiving - all box ok!

Lots of plugs for cords Long lasting

Great UPS... Bought it to keep a new computer with Active PFC running during power outages. My new computer uses Active PFC power supply and needs pure sine power from UPS to keep it running correctly. Before I got this unit, I had another brand UPS and when the power went out, the power supply on the new computer produced a fast ticking noise. It sounded bad. When I put this UPS on the new computer, the power supply sounds normal even when the power goes out.

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!

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.

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