How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?

Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. The LCD Screen on the Back-UPS Pro model will display the estimated runtime based on the current power load of devices plugged into the UPS.

Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?

Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will restart online operation.

Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?

This Back-UPS Pro instantly switches to battery power, when the main power goes out. The average transfer time is 8 milliseconds, and most connected devices do not experience any interruption in power.

Can I plug the UPS into an extension cord or does it have to be plugged into a wall?

In order for your UP to get the best power available, you should plug it directly into the wall receptacle. Plugging your UPS into a surge protection may cause the UPS to go on battery more often, even if the main power has not gone out.

    Worked as advertised
    The display looks blue in the picture but it is actually white.We bought two of these because my girlfriend works from home online and can't afford to lose data from her laptop if we have a power outage. I plugged our router into the first one and her laptop (in her office in another part of the house) into the second one.Several weeks ago we had a storm with winds that knocked out our power from ~ 3:30 PM on afternoon until ~ 11 AM the next day. My girlfriend was at least able to save her data and did continue to work for a while. I was on my computer in the other room and the UPS switched to battery power immediately.Both back ups were fully charged when we lost power and they both lasted ~ two hours. The back up with the router didn't last as long because I had more things plugged into it.When you press the menu button it displays how much voltage you have coming in, how much of a load is plugged in, how full your battery is, and if the speaker for the buzzer is on or off. It will start beeping to warn you when the battery power starts getting low. You can silence the beeping sound if you want. When on battery back up the display changes from your input voltage to your approximate battery time remaining.This battery back up is a good safeguard to have, especially if you or someone in your household works from home. It can also be helpful to plug your refrigerator.

    Title: Power Protection Perfected: A Comprehensive Review of APC Battery Backups

    Introduction:
    In today's technology-dependent world, power interruptions and surges can wreak havoc on our electronic devices and data.

In this in-depth review, we'll explore the features, performance, and overall value of APC battery backup systems, shedding light on their role as dependable guardians of your electronics.

    Features:
    1. **Battery Capacity**: APC battery backups come in various capacities, allowing you to choose the right model to suit your needs. Higher-capacity units can power more devices for longer durations during outages.

    1. **Reliability**: APC is renowned for producing reliable battery backups. They're designed to kick in seamlessly when the power goes out, ensuring your devices remain operational without interruption.

    2. **Battery Life**: The longevity of the internal battery is a significant factor. APC battery backups often come with replaceable batteries, which extends the lifespan of the unit and makes maintenance straightforward.

    3. **Software and Connectivity**: Some APC models are equipped with USB or network connectivity, allowing you to monitor the status of your devices remotely. Additionally, they can be integrated with software for automated shutdown procedures during extended outages.

    Pros:
    - **Uninterrupted Power**: APC battery backups provide a seamless transition to battery power during outages, safeguarding your sensitive electronics.
    - **Voltage Regulation**: AVR technology helps protect your devices from damaging voltage fluctuations.
    - **User-Friendly**: Setup and maintenance are typically straightforward, even for those with limited technical expertise.

    Cons:
    - **Initial Cost**: High-quality APC battery backups can be relatively expensive compared to basic surge protectors.
    - **Weight and Size**: Larger units may take up more space and can be quite heavy.

    Conclusion:

They offer a range of models to suit different needs, from small home offices to data centers. While the initial investment may be higher than basic surge protectors, the peace of mind they provide during power outages, as well as the extended life they offer to your electronics through voltage regulation, make them a worthwhile investment. If you value the safety and uninterrupted operation of your electronics, an APC battery backup is a solid choice to consider.

    The APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, BX1500M Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, Dataline Protection, has truly exceeded my expectations in terms of reliability and performance. As someone who values the safety of electronic devices and the continuity of work, this UPS unit has become an essential addition to my setup.

    First off, the 1500VA capacity offers a substantial amount of power backup, allowing me to keep my devices running smoothly during power outages. This has been a real lifesaver, especially during critical tasks or when I'm in the middle of important projects.

    The built-in surge protection is a feature that gives me peace of mind. With the increasing number of power surges and voltage fluctuations, knowing that my devices are shielded from potential damage is invaluable. The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) technology further stabilizes the voltage output, ensuring that my devices receive clean and consistent power.

    What sets this APC UPS apart is the inclusion of dataline protection. This feature guards against unexpected surges that can travel through phone and Ethernet lines, offering comprehensive protection for both power and data connections. This is crucial for preserving the integrity of sensitive equipment and data.

    Setup was surprisingly easy, and the LCD display provides essential information about power status, battery life, and more. The unit's compact design doesn't take up much space, making it convenient to place in any setup.

    But what truly seals the deal for me is its seamless transition between power sources. The switch from regular power to battery backup is so smooth that I barely notice it. This uninterrupted power supply has proven its worth time and again, and it has saved me from potential data loss and downtime.

    In conclusion, the APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, BX1500M Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, Dataline Protection, is a rock-solid investment for anyone who relies on electronic devices for work or leisure. Its combination of power backup, surge protection, AVR technology, and dataline safeguarding make it an all-in-one solution that's worth every penny.

    Comes with a fault-line indicator light on the back. I didn't realize the outlet I was using was faulty. I double-checked with a multimeter and it was correct! The outlet's grounding was off. Might have prevented a possible fire situation.

    The previous house owner was the worst electrician. The breakers get tripped if someone uses a hair dryer, and I cannot express how much this has saved my work.

    The battery arrived fully charged. Just take out the battery, flip it upside down, re-insert. It's really neat to see how much power my devices are using. Half of the outlets are designed to draw power from the battery and provide uninterrupted power. The other half function as regular power outlets, but will not provide power if the unit is not plugged in to an outlet. The display shows a lot of information, including the estimated time remaining on the battery. My desktop computer draws a lot of power (200w-270w typically) and can stay powered for roughly half an hour at full battery. I have a 2nd unit powering my peripheral devices to maximize how long my computer can stay powered. After using these 2 units for about 3 weeks, this is one of the best purchases I've made in my life. It's saved me so much stress and has proven to be reliable in several power outs already. 10/10

    Only had the unit a few days and Has made itself fully worth it already. bought it because we’ve had lots of shortages this year and I didn’t want my new comp to get fried.

    Was curious how much I could put into it and to see how long it would last and I can say I’m impressed. I have an 850w gold power source for my pc, a ps5 and a 43” Samsung tv because it’s hooked up to both systems. today we had a full on blackout instead of the usual blip.

    I heard the beeping and went into to check and sure enough my comp is still running (also still mining) and my ps5 was still in standby too. Turned on the tv shut down the comp and even turned on the ps5 to get to a save point in zero dawn then shut it all down too.

    Tested with all of that running at the same time it would give me 8 min which is great for little blips. Ps5 and tv only was like 52 and comp and pc wasn’t bad either. The screen that shows minutes and power load is great.

    To the ppl who plugged it in and said it didn’t work probably didn’t read the giant yellow sticker that says shipped with battery disconnected. Super easy to setup too.
    Very impressed. Will probably buy again to keep wifi etc running lol

    5.0 out of 5 stars Basic battery backup for large changes in power

    UPDATE: After talking more with customer support, they sent a replacement unit which has none of the problems my first one did. I still need a bit of gaffer tape to cover up the lights from the buttons, but other than that, it's perfect. APC customer support was helpful and communicated clearly.

    The original review follows:
    I STRONGLY recommend you get the gift wrapping instead of going with standard shipping in the original box that shows what is inside.

    The unit is about half the size of a PC tower and is it ever heavy. I'm impressed with the packaging being minimal, recyclable, and yet sturdy. The battery was easy to take out and turn around the right way to get the unit working. The sockets on the back are pretty close together and I'm only able to fit three plugs in the five sockets (computer equipment tends to have big plugs).

    When the unit is on, the screen turns off with inactivity, but the three buttons remain illuminated. When the power went out, I couldn't figure out how to turn off the screen and it remained on using up a small amount of battery.

    I had some issues with the unit, but the manufacturer is quick to respond (4 min from my first question) and worked me through some troubleshooting. I've been using this brand for years and I'm always impressed with their service.

    But this brings us to the parts I don't like about it.

    I live in a semi-rual part of Canada, and our island has more trees per km of electrical line than anywhere else in North America - or so the power company tells us every storm season. 6 months of the year is storm season and I felt it would be nice to have something to protect my PC better than a regular surge protector.

    I had hoped the battery backup would even out the electrical current but it doesn't. Even at high sensitivity, the light plugged into the battery backup still flickers when the neighbour is welding or using heavy equipment. It also makes some noise that most people probably wouldn't hear but are obvious if I'm trying to sleep in the same room as the machine.

    If I turn the unit off at night, it thunks when clicking back and forth to the battery backup due to inconsistent power from the mains... even though it is turned off, my computer is getting a flash of power when the unit makes this switch. I've given up keeping it off and used some black gaffer tape on the glowing buttons.

    On the whole, I feel this isn't what I expected. I got it with the idea that it would even out the issues with my local power supply quality - but these same issues seem to bother the UPS just as much as they bother the computer and lights. What it does best is to be a battery backup and I'm glad I got the larger size because if the storm is strong enough to knock the power out for more than a few days, it's too cloudy to use my solar panel to charge my gadgets. This will do the trick nicely.

    With power surges and power drops a regular occurrence, I rely on this unit to protect my custom desktop PC and its data. 10 socket slots -- with 1/2 surge protected -- handles all my office electrical needs. And and unlike other, cheaper brands, the APC brand allows its battery to be replaced at under $150 so the electronics are reusable and it minimizes landfill waste.
