APC UPS, 1500VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, BR1500MS2, Backup Battery with AVR, (2) USB Charger Ports, Back-UPS Pro Uninterruptible Power Supply

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 !

Had a power flicker 2 days after setting up the unit. Worked perfectly.

So, I got a Cyber Monday deal on this unit, and it's been one of the ups's that I have been researching and watching for a while. I currently have an old/obsolete APC BN1080G running all my network equipment. This unit works great for this purpose since we have numerous power outages during the year, and power surges cause by stupid squirrels getting fried on power lines and transformers. I am on my second set of batteries on the BN1080G and it keeps on working great. So, I decided based on that to purchase this BR1500MS2 for my computer and monitor. Desktop PC would now be protected with a sinewave ups. So, pros for this unit are as follows in my situation. 1 Sinewave output 2 1500 va and 900w capacity 3 APC reliability 4 Decent footprint 5 Reliability based on current unit is a big plus. Con 1 When will APC update products to LiFepo batteries. 2 Yes battery replacement every 3-5 years depending on how deep and often ups switches to battery. Lots of switches with deep cycles get battery replacement close to the 3-year mark. Powered up unit when received to charge batteries and to see if there were problems with unit. There is an electronics smell when powered up and over the course of a day and a few load test the smell has not disappeared. I hope this goes away after a few days. I have a Threadripper desktop PC, monitor, and nas station connected to ups. So far, ups is running cool when Threadripper goes to work. Ups does not get hot when 300 watts of peak loads are applied. No buzzing and other noises are coming from ups. Software install has been completed. My BitDefender antivirus software flagged this software as a possible bad player but went ahead and setup rules for it. One thing I wish software would allow would be a shutdown test without pulling main plug from wall. That would test software`s ability to shutdown pc. Hate pulling plugs to test. The test cycle in the software for switching to battery backup works well though. The other item would be to see more than one ups in the software so it could either control it and or provide the same data as other ups. Software is designed from what I can see to control and monitor only one unit. So, with this all said, I got a great deal on price and delivery was overnight. I would like to test a lifepo battery unit someday to see if the hype is real, but that would require one on my APC ups units to fail which I am confident from many years of home and commercial experience might not happen too soon. Amazon AI wants more answers. It does weigh a good 27 pounds. Protection level with new unit will have to wait till first squirrel fry or power outage which will happen soon since it`s wintertime. Size is perfect. Small footprint and case have plenty of venting to keep cool. Will update review in a few months if something significate happens that needs to be communicated. 12_10_25 update. Smell still there and it does get worse with load. Contacted Schneider Electric and told them what was going on, and they have authorized a new unit to be sent to me. Now that's the kind of customer service you can praise. While talking to service advisor we had 2 power bumps from nasty windstorm that we have going on, and unit worked flawlessly and my desktop kept on going without a flicker. Looking forward to new unit that doesn`t smell like the end of its life could happen at any time soon. Again this unit is working well except or the electronics smell. Would buy again if another ups is needed. 12_17_2025 update. Received replacement and got it all charged up just in time for the latest windstorm. This one too smells of electrical components that are hot or got stressed during burnin and testing. This one's not as bad and so far, does not seem to get smellier with increased load. Hope this smell goes away because it's too cold to leave window open to air out room. We did test unit with a power bump from something hitting power line during the storm and unit worked. So would I buy this again. Not sure now with the sink issue perfectly. Hope smell is gone in a week. Would I still recommend? Yes, if you don`t mind the electronic components smell. This is 2 for 2 and I don`t see this as a one-off issue. Will keep using and hope it makes it 3 years and with summer 6 months away, I can open windows and air the office out. I will say that the customer support has been outstanding, so you have that on your side.

Una excelente marca, un excelente producto. Llevo usando la marca más de 40 años, y en estos modelos de onda sinusoidal si se nota la diferencia en aparatos sensibles. La batería se empieza a deteriorar al cabo de 6 años. Sin duda compra segura.

Update: 08/24/2025 One year in, and things are still fantastic. The UPS went through a couple of real power flickers, some power fluctuations usually undetectable before storms arrived, and a real power outage that lasted me about five and a half hours recently. Unfortunately, I was not home to switch the UPS to an alternate power source, but was able to begin charging it once I did arrive home during the power outage. No battery replacement alerts have sounded yet, and the UPS has been testing its own battery, something I was awake for one morning to hear relays clicking. Everything is still working exactly as intended, and the UPS has been successfully providing uninterrupted power to all of my devices. Original: 08/07/2024 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.
