Most impressive job this ups is doing. There are particularly nasty electrical feedback in the electric line. Not massively worse than other places, but very noisy. This unit does the trick. Hasn’t been the first interruption. That means carefree operation of the router and any other computer related equipment. Some gear is just more sensitive to the noisy electrical power available now. If you haven’t got one of these, perhaps you need to consider it. I’ve been using this one for a good while. Zero failures and zero interruptions. That’s the whole point distilled. No hype, just honest assessment of this setup. Can’t recommend this one enough. Beats others at higher than this price. Just stunning! Very pleased with this one!

Had these when I was in afghanistan (before the fall). Regulated the power to our computers and kept the power even. Worked great. Does have a battery inside that you must hook up before you plug in. I left it "soak" for a week before I hooked up my expensive desktop and monitors. No issues.

I have had an APC battery backup (the XS1500) for 14 years and 4 batteries later, so I am pretty sold on APC’s lasting for a while. I decided to get this one because I needed something to backup and protect a digital recorder for a security camera system. While this one isn’t as powerful as my venerable XS1500, I didn’t need anything more powerful than this to allow me time to shut down the recorder system until power is restored. Probably my biggest complaint with APC is the cost to replace their batteries, which usually are needed in the 3-to-5-year range, especially when they just slap a sticker over other brands and claim them as their own.

It is easy to get this setup, just plug in the hot wire and it is good to go. It has a good clear and easily readable display that shows the needed information and, in my case, when the battery is bad, since I don’t have this connected to a computer. The are plenty of plugs, both surge and battery backup protected. I basically have a monitor, switch and the security camera recorder connected, but I have space for plenty more if I need.

Overall, this is a solid battery backup as most APC’s are. Other than the expense of the replacement batteries, this is worth the cost.

I’ve purchased these APC units for years now. Yes it feels pricey to spend $200-$300 just to plug your expensive computers and gaming consoles and medical devices to these, but I promise that these AVR units more than earn their price. How? Not only can they help you to save your work / game progress / or keep your CPAP running in the event of power outage, but they preserve the circuitry inside the hardware plugged into them.

I have been buying CyberPower UPSs for a while but am back using APC again. The price of CyberPower was good but it turns out they don't do a periodic self-test like APC does, I was finding when I needed the backup the most the battery was kaput. With APC it works great and gives me a warning when the battery is getting too old.

Es un excelente NoBreak que debes de tener en la casa o la oficina.
De inicio la batería viene desconectada (por seguridad al transportarse) por lo que deberás abrirlo y conectar la batería, es muy fácil y tiene las instrucciones con etiquetas amarillas que te guiarán paso a paso.

- El display no se puede apagar y tampoco se puede reducir el brillo.
- Silencioso No es. Hace un "ruidito" que indica que está funcionando que Si es bastante audible, por lo que hay que lidiar con esto.

+ La bateria recargada por completo, si cubre al menos 40 min. (tengo conectado los servicios del ISP, NAS y un sistema de Alarma y todo funcionó correcto cuando se interrumpió el servicio de energía)
+ Cuando hay una sobrecarga, la contiene y se apaga por seguridad (esto me pasó cuando registró una descarga porque un auto choco en el poste de energía)
+ Mejor que cualquier producto TrippLite ;)

Precio competitivo !

1. Sine Wave Output:

One of the standout features of this UPS is its pure sine wave output. Unlike some lower-end models, this technology ensures that the power supplied by the UPS mimics the clean and stable electricity from your utility provider. This is essential for sensitive equipment, including computers, servers, and audio-visual systems.

2. Multiple Outlets:

The APC 1500VA UPS comes with multiple outlets, including both battery backup and surge-protected outlets. These outlets are strategically designed to accommodate a variety of devices, from desktop computers and monitors to networking equipment and gaming consoles.

The protection it offers against surges, power outages, and voltage fluctuations is invaluable. Additionally, it's easy to set up and maintain, providing peace of mind without requiring a steep learning curve.

In the long run, the cost of replacing damaged equipment or the value of lost data significantly outweighs the price of this UPS. It's a smart purchase that not only safeguards your devices but also your productivity and peace of mind.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the APC by Schneider Electric 1500VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector is a power protection unit that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Whenever there’s a power cut I would loose some of the things I work on. My laptop is pretty old but still gets the job done.

To get the battery replaced saw BestBuy fail at it for a couple of years until it was no longer under warranty.

This was the next best thing.

No need to move around as much these days. So spikes, cuts and other power glitches no longer bother me.
