Review: Great Battery Backup Unit Latest Model is even Better! - This model is even better than the older family this one has a LCD with important information and has multiple ways to configure as a set of ports (group) that can be programmed to turn on/off remotely (bouncing dvr, firewalls or other unresponsive equipment or to control other devices or even lights) Love apc, APC has build a name since I remember APC was always among the names respected for their expertise and performance, for me they are soo good that I even have bought a few for home, this UPS units are flawless as they detect correct and protect power surges, peaks and drops and they will keep you running for at least 10 minutes (at full capacity 900watts) needless to say a regular computer/monitor with a router and a small inkjet printer will last up to 40 minutes of work (I have worked under a full blackout finishing up work and it did last around the 40-45 minutes I was impressed) I would say that the unit was probably at 18 to 23% load at the time using OEM APC Battery Pack ( I would always advise use of oem apc battery packs as they are build using an advanced technology that not everyone can replicate and under load most batteries will perform poorly after a few months while the APC OEM stay strong up to 5 years of use and abuse I seen other units like SUA1500RM2 and SUA3000 under Heavy Loads this units performed Magnificent, I have seen a sua1500 that was 4 years old loaded with a dell t710 and a r210 servers switch and kvm, it was close to 90% and under a storm it took countless power spikes/drops even a 5 minute power outage, you could see the device working even before you even notice anything abnormal, the servers keep working all night with no issues, Needless to say I am bias when it comes to APC they really know their stuff. I have used other brands - home and enterprise - and most of them fail when they under heavy load and under stress, (power blackout or during storms) my best guess is the engineering behind the circuitry that does the inversion and the simply well made transformer, I have seen units power off with depleted batteries and coming right back up after the power is restored like nothing, other brands fail to do so or simply will require the user to turn them on, or will require expensive attachments to perform somewhat like their Great APC counterparts. Review: It works! Fan only runs to charge the battery - I was intimidated because of the reviews complaining about the fan noise. When I installed the device, the fan indeed was loud. But once the battery was fully charged, the fan has either completely stopped or is going too slow to notice. The other reviews are a few years old, so perhaps APC changed the fan behavior since then. I initially bought a CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD to save money and although it said it was going to last long on the battery, every power outage resulted in an instantaneous crash of my PC. It was utterly useless, perhaps because of the sign wave quality on that CP model. So I replaced it with this APC SMT-1500 and the CyberPower is assigned to my router now, all is good. EDIT: I am quoting this from an excellent review by Neil E. Isenberg " This (APC SMT-1500) Has fan (APC estimates 45dB max) which runs when: - The battery charges - The unit supplies battery power - The temperature hits 104F - The load is over 75% of unit wattage capability (675W+). " If that is true, it would be wise to buy a unit that is larger than you need to avoid the 75% load condition. I have a 5GHz custom built gaming tower/room heater and a 25" LCD monitor and it usually does not provide over 12% normal load on this UPS and has never gotten even close to 75%. ## Features - Alpha/numeric Led Display - High-efficiency Green Mode - Automatic Voltage Regulation - Controllable Recept ACle Group - Enhanced Battery Management ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002MZW5JU | | Battery Average Life | 8 minutes | | Battery Cell Composition | Alkaline | | Battery Cell Type | Alkaline | | Battery Charge Time | 3 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #893 in Computer Uninterruptible Power Supply Units | | Brand | APC | | Built-In Media | Surge Protector | | Charging Time | 3 Hours | | Color | BLACK | | Connector Type | NEMA, USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 166 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | Compact | | Frequency Range | 50-60 Hz +/- 3 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731304268666 | | Input Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | | Item Dimensions | 17.28 x 6.73 x 8.62 inches | | Item Part Number | SMT1500 | | Item Weight | 24090 Grams | | Manufacturer | Petra Industries, Inc. - Consumer Electronics Replen | | Material | Metal | | Maximum Power | 1000 Watts | | Mfr Part Number | SMT1500 | | Model Number | MAIN-76781 | | Number of Outlets | 8 | | Output Current | 8.17 Amps | | Output Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | | Output Wattage | 980 Watts | | Power Plug Type | Type A - 2 pin (North American) | | Runtime | 13 minutes | | Specification Met | Energy Star | | Surge Protection Rating | 459 Joules | | UPC | 014444457887 012300074582 071030569102 643749352261 014445073529 804993337286 601000717174 803982825377 031111817805 610373752804 088021282964 012303265505 640206647915 031112583020 073130426866 767872179035 731304268666 782386097989 737874829719 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Description | 3 years repair or replace (excluding battery) and 2 year for battery | | Wattage | 980 watts | ## Product Details - **Battery Cell Composition:** Alkaline - **Brand:** APC - **Color:** BLACK - **Material:** Metal - **Voltage:** 120 Volts ## Images ![APC MAIN-76781 Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMT1500) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617XRupNB9L.jpg) ![APC MAIN-76781 Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMT1500) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DLrOaOEIL.jpg) ![APC MAIN-76781 Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMT1500) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rnX6xyNML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What if someone wanted to use this item for, let's say, a sump pump. Whould this be a good idea!???** A: I am an engineer for Schneider Electric. These Are not designed to run motor loads due to the in rush current of a motor when it starts. There are better alternatives for that particular application such as a basement watch dog that has a DC motor with high current capability and a charging system. To even consider running a sump pump on a UPS it must be sized at least 6 times the motors run current. 1/2 HP sump pump on average pulls 10 amps running. Which would mean a UPS capable of delivering 60 amps. 60x120= 7.2kW or about 8 times the power that this UPS is capable of delivering. Even considering only the running amps of this UPS and a 1/2 HP pump it would be overloaded as 900 watts equates to 7.5 amps. **Q: There appears to be 8 outputs, how many are actually Battery outputs and not just surge protected outputs?** A: As mentioned, all of the outlets in this series are battery-protected. The number of outlets will depend on model. Since this Amazon Q/A is being attached to multiple models, here's the count for all the models in this series (based on APC's product manuals):SMT750, SMT1000RM2U, SMT1500RM2U - 6 outletsSMT1000, SMT1500, SMT2200, SMT2200RM2U, SMT3000RM2U - 8 outletsSMT3000, SMT3000RM2U (230v) - 9 outlets (8 15A, 1 20A) **Q: Does the 1500VA pull 15amps or does it just need to be put on a 15 amp circuit?** A: Assuming 120v at the outlet, 1500VA would be about 12.5 amps. I doubt the UPS would draw that much unless under 100% load. If that's the case, you likely need a larger model. Perhaps if it we're under 100% load and charging the batteries... In any case, a residential outlet should be rated to at least 15 amps... **Q: what type of wall plug does it use? canit plus into a standard outlet type?** A: Depends on the model you get. The 750VA, 1000VA and 1500VA models all have standard 15A plugs. The 2200VA model uses a 20A plug and needs a 20A outlet (and circuit, of course). Then 3000VA model uses a 30A locking plug and needs a corresponding outlet and circuit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Battery Backup Unit Latest Model is even Better! *by S***N on May 15, 2017* This model is even better than the older family this one has a LCD with important information and has multiple ways to configure as a set of ports (group) that can be programmed to turn on/off remotely (bouncing dvr, firewalls or other unresponsive equipment or to control other devices or even lights) Love apc, APC has build a name since I remember APC was always among the names respected for their expertise and performance, for me they are soo good that I even have bought a few for home, this UPS units are flawless as they detect correct and protect power surges, peaks and drops and they will keep you running for at least 10 minutes (at full capacity 900watts) needless to say a regular computer/monitor with a router and a small inkjet printer will last up to 40 minutes of work (I have worked under a full blackout finishing up work and it did last around the 40-45 minutes I was impressed) I would say that the unit was probably at 18 to 23% load at the time using OEM APC Battery Pack ( I would always advise use of oem apc battery packs as they are build using an advanced technology that not everyone can replicate and under load most batteries will perform poorly after a few months while the APC OEM stay strong up to 5 years of use and abuse I seen other units like SUA1500RM2 and SUA3000 under Heavy Loads this units performed Magnificent, I have seen a sua1500 that was 4 years old loaded with a dell t710 and a r210 servers switch and kvm, it was close to 90% and under a storm it took countless power spikes/drops even a 5 minute power outage, you could see the device working even before you even notice anything abnormal, the servers keep working all night with no issues, Needless to say I am bias when it comes to APC they really know their stuff.

These are stable, excellent units with a great amount of battery runtime (on my 150-watt server, I get approximately 90 minutes on each battery). The software they come with works well, except that it can't detect two units, only one, connected USB. I've taken to just uninstalling the software and using Windows' built-in power management for the batteries which seems to work just fine. Good amount of controls and information provided by the alpha-numeric LCD readout. Prior models of this unit seem to last about 5-6 years before the electronics give up and you start getting errors even after replacing the battery, so I'm hoping to get a little longer on this newer generation. In all, very happy with these units; they're quiet and they just work. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMT1500) - APC 1500VA Smart UPS with SmartConnect, SMC1500C Sinewave UPS Battery Backup, AVR, 120V, Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply - APC 1500VA Smart UPS with SmartConnect, SMT1500C Sinewave UPS Battery Backup, AVR, 120V, Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1863220-apc-main-76781-smart-ups-1500va-ups-battery-backup-pure](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1863220-apc-main-76781-smart-ups-1500va-ups-battery-backup-pure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
