APCUPS 1500VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup, BR1500MS2 Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, 10 Outlets, (2) USB Charger Ports

This UPS works very well for my use, powering all the equipment I use on a daily basis. In fact, the power from the UPS seems cleaner than what I get from the grid, even though it's not really conditioning the power, that I'm aware of. I'm merely going off the fact that my analogue receiver's transformer humm is a little quieter and sounds ever so slightly smoother than it usually does, something most people likely wouldn't notice. I've also had no ground loop humming while connecting or disconnecting devices to my mixer, or while using the inverter in the UPS itself.After receiving the UPS, I was able to figure out where the battery door is and open it to connect the battery, then I connected it to power for a couple hours with no load on it, allowing the battery to fully charge as indicated by the UPS, though it likely still had several hours to go until a complete charge was achieved. I then disconnected the UPS from power, receiving the pleasant sound of four beeps every thirty seconds that will probably wake me up at night, a good thing, since I'll transfer the UPS from its battery to another external power source if the power is out longer than a few minutes.After verifying that this worked correctly, I connected my serge protector to the UPS after connecting it to power, which has my equipment connected. One Asus laptop, an audio mixer, wireless headphones, two USB hubs, one of which isn't being used, an old analogue receiver and equalizer for my sound system, a TV which is usually off, an Apple TV, a modem for internet, a computer for my router, a router for a Wi-fi hot spot, and a USB-C charger for my MacBook Pro.Under normal circumstances if I'm not using the receiver, though it's usually on and waiting to be used, I'm probably pulling about 150 watts from the UPS. According to APC's information and calculator, this will probably provide around 45 minutes of run time, so this should give me plenty of time to wait and see if the power is going to stay off, and if so, switch to a larger battery to power the UPS itself. I did test this, and it does work, at least, with a pure signwave inverter. If I need more runtime, I can extend it by powering off everything I'm not using. My receiver and equalizer, for instance.So far, everything is very stable, I've had no difficulties, and I'm anticipating a battery replacement in about three to five years, typical with an SLA battery, as long as you're not deep cycling it and keeping it on a well maintained floating charge most of the time.

This APC 1500VA UPS is a lifesaver for protecting my PC, modem, and other sensitive electronics. The sine wave output is ideal for high-end computers, and the Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) helps stabilize minor power fluctuations without switching to battery.✅ What I love:Clean sine wave output—great for gaming PCs or workstationsPlenty of outlets (10 total), including surge + battery backup2 USB ports for charging phones or accessoriesSolid build quality and a clear LCD screen with useful status infoQuiet operation—no annoying fan noise during normal useI’ve had several power blips since installing it, and my system never skipped a beat. Battery life is enough for safe shutdowns, and I feel much more secure during storms or outages.Highly recommend for anyone who works from home, games, or just wants to protect valuable gear. Solid investment!

I've used this APC backup unit along with previous versions for years. On older units, I change batteries every 5 years out of maintenance rather than due to failure. I've never experienced any damage to a computer of other attached equipment as a result of line power issues. These units are reliable, safe, and easy to maintain.I did however damage one of my APC unit due to my own fault. I recently bought a new PC and as usual, I attached it to the backup (along with everything else). My new PC alone could consume 1000 watts. Never mind the new giant monitor, the external hard drives, the phones' charger, and a desk lamp. Altogether I was asking the backup rated for 900 watts to keep 1600+ watts of attached equipment going during line power issues. My bad totally. Moral of the story, add up your level of power consumption and get the backup or backups suited for your needs. I should have bought two.

Great power source for my NAS - has a port to connect to the NAS for communication. Has protected and maintained power to the NAS for about three black outs now. It will not power the NAS for too long however but will allow you to perform a safe shut down if the outage looks like it will last longer than a half hour.
