In Battery Backup (UPS)

The 11 year old CyberPower 1500 VA system that I purchased back in 2013 failed. I ordered this system to replace it. After installing the new CyberPower system, I opened up the old system and found one of the batteries developed a crack which apparently caused the battery to fail. The new system had some extreme tests about a week later when some severe thunderstorms rolled through eastern Nebraska and caused brownouts and failed power for a few seconds. The new system worked perfectly.

I bought a few of these here and there and they worked great when the power went out, machines stayed running.

- Lots of settings and features - Easy to read display - Good battery life - Lots of plugs

Easy to set up and use.

Does exactly what it says for a good price. It is a good looking device. This device exceeded my expectations. It easily handled a simulated power outage.

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

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.

Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.

The ability to add an external battery pack drew me toward this unit. I wound up not needing any extra batteries. Its display shows different info when scrolling through the various options. Estimated runtime in minutes is great info as is the current load in watts.

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

I work in music recording/mixing studio environments and am extremely fussy about equipment that generates noise. I'm pleased to say that after several months of continuous use, this Li-Ion APC rack unit met and possibly exceeded expectations. When in ideal conditions, the unit is literally silent. No fan noise, no hum, no buzz. The only time noise has been observed is either when the unit is charging (due to a power failure) where very minimal self-noise is inevitable, or in an under-voltage condition (117V or under) where the internal circuitry activates in order to boost the output voltage. In comparison to APC's own legacy units (ie: 2U 750VA-1500VA lead acid monsters) which I have been using for over 15 years - they had frequent noticeable cooling fan noise, and could produce undesirable self-noise when approaching maximum load. And anecdotally, I have had one or two units fail over the years and drop the load.

Good product.

My+ old one died same modlue have had good service

- Works perfect - Quiet

We have these throughout our office areas to give employees a chance to save their work in the event of an outage. APC has been solidly reliable for years now on several different models of UPS, including these. Like the extra outlet that is offset for large AC adapters. Has four plugs for battery backup and four that provide surge protection only. Note that anything plugged into the four sockets labeled "Surge Protection" will not have power in the event of an outage. Those sockets are only for surge protection (thus the label.) The sliding panel on bottom for battery access is more convenient than the old ones that required a screw to be removed when you were going to initially connect the battery or replace it.

Very reliable, good amount of battery for the cost. Currently supporting a entire desk, phones, and two computers, one server, and one mini computer. Two monitors, and a debit machine. Power failures and shorts the like have been avoided with this. Excellent quality and nice form factor.

relatively small for a 2200VA UPS, expandable (with optional battery pack), switchable plugs through serial or USB connected dedicated host.

Let me start by saying I have an APC Smart-Ups 750 from 2004 that to this day is STILL running like a champ. I've replaced the batteries about 4 times in that time frame. This model looks, feels, and smells just like the old with a more modern front panel and cloud service port. It feels just as well constructed and in almost every way functions the same. The updated display lets you change certain settings and displays the current load and charge. The SmartConnect network port is a fantastic addition to this device. It connects to the APC SmartConnect cloud service and monitors your UPS at a simple and basic level. If it's online or on battery, estimated runtime, charge, temperature, firmware version, input/output voltage, load, when you should replace the battery, warranty date, and an event log. It will send you an email with the alert level you would like as well. This is REALLY nice feature out of the box without needing to add a management card, which they can get pretty expensive.
