GOLDENMATE 1000VA/800W Lithium UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, Backup Battery Power Supply with LiFePO4 Batteries(230.4 Wh), Sinewave UPS System, 10 Years Lifespan, 8 Outlets, LCD Display

This is my first time trying a UPS from Goldenmate. We have an unstable power grid so a UPS is a must for me. My other UPS died after 5 years and this is what I purchased(It was a cyberpower UPS, unrelated to the pc building company). It’s for a gaming PC with an RTX 3070 and ryzen 9 5900x. This UPS is 800w, under heavy gaming the load is only 450w max, so I haven’t had any issues. There was a very small break-in period where the unit smelled, I'm assuming it was the battery running for the first time. It went away very quickly. Similarly, the first few days there was a very quiet, high pitched whine when the unit was under load, it sounded like a fan. This went away and it's whisper quiet now. It's not that I'm used to it either, at the time of the review I muted my computer and listened and I can't hear a thing. It's been several months now, we have an unstable power grid and there are lots of lightning strikes which cause the lights to flicker and get actual outages from time to time. Since getting this new UPS the PC has maintained 100% up-time when it's on. It's not ALWAYS on, but when it is, it has remained stable during blackouts and brownouts. When the unit detects the power drop there is an audible but quiet beep. I gave myself enough headroom with wattage so I don't even come close to maxing out the units capabilities. For a reasonably powerful gaming PC that was stable for years before owning this UPS, this is great. I now realize that my older, now dead UPS, would sometimes fail the brownouts and not kick in, in time. I haven't had this issue with this new Goldenmate unit.

I've been very happy with this UPS. It's a great solution for providing temporary backup power to my gaming PC, security cameras, and internet equipment during short power outages. It gives me enough time to safely shut down my computer and keeps my network and cameras running when the power goes out. So far, the unit has performed exactly as expected. It was easy to set up, operates quietly, and gives me peace of mind knowing my equipment is protected from both power interruptions and surges. Overall, this has been an excellent purchase, and I'm impressed enough that I plan to buy a second unit for a future project. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable UPS for home electronics.

I'm happy to say goodbye to the cost and inconvenience of buying Iead acid batteries for the APC back up devices I've used for at least 2 decades or more. The Goldenmate was easy to unpack and set up to connect the devices I needed it for. It's already been protecting them from power surges and outages without fail. It's kicked in immediately and alerted me of the outage. We've been having frequent outages that were corrupting my PS5's external USB drive. I was shocked when during a 3 hour power outage, the device protected the drive! The display is clean and tells me everything I'd want to know. I'll be replacing an APC 1500VA unit soon and Goldenmate will be my choice.

I had two old lead acid battery UPS's go out all at once. I'd been wanting to try a LiPo battery UPS, but the in the past they were cost prohibitive. But, as it turned out there was a deal on the GoldenMates, so I bought two for a good price. Before buying, I did check out reviews on Youtube and elsewhere and all I found for the 1000VA/800W GoldenMate were positive. The version of the Goldenmate most commonly reviewed was a slightly earlier version, but the specs were the same. The only apparent difference was the rear panel outlets. The earlier version had four angled outlets where the one available now has eight outlets in two rows of four. In terms of performance, I'm impressed. I'm backing up my router and modem, which are a combined 23-25 watts under normal load. The GoldenMate lasted over 9 hours before shutting down, so the 230Wh rating seems about right. I also liked how easy it was to silence the alarm tone (just press the power button for about a second). So, no complaints on the longevity side. This is a good basic UPS. I don't have a meter, but per the reviews I've seen, this is a pure sine wave UPS, so power quality should be good; better than many UPS in this price/capacity range. There are three negatives, all minor. But that's why I've deducted one star. 1. The tightly grouped eight outlets mean that if you're plugging in the typical power transformer block, you won't likely get more then 3 or 4 devices connected. 2. There are no "surge only" outlets. With all of the other UPS's I've owned, there were a combination of "UPS backed up" and "surge only" outlets. For example, if I wanted to plug in a laptop charger along with my network devices, I'd plug the laptop charger in a surge only outlet. It would be protected from minor surges, but not powered by the UPS if power fails. With the GoldenMate, there is no option to do this. Of the three negatives, this is the one that most bugs me. 3. This is a "dumb" UPS. There is no possibility to connect it to a computer for a soft shutdown. For my uses, this is not a problem as I'm only powering network communication devices. But, if you need a UPS that will shutdown your computer as the battery reaches the end of it's ability to power your PC, this isn't it. Other notes: --Depending on how much power you are drawing, a cooling fan will come on under battery. The fan isn't terrily loud, but you will hear it. For my scenario above only pulling 25 watts, the fan did not come on during the time I observed it. If the fan did power on, it would obviously take battery power away from your devices. --Charging is very slow. This isn't really a negative. Typically, you don't need a UPS to charge quickly and it should be gentler on the battery life with a slower charge. The UPS arrived at about 3/4 charge. It took several hours to fully charge. As long as you don't have frequent power failures, I don't think will an issue. --The power inverter apparently has about 1-2% overhead of the power being consumed (per the power display). For example (see pic), my router and modem were drawing 22watts but the UPS was drawing 23watts. --It is both smaller and lighter than lead acid UPS's of the same capacities. But, it is not exactly light or small. Again, not a negative, but I was surprised the UPS was a large as it is. All in all, I'm happy with the GoldenMate so far. I'll update if there are any changes to my ratings.

We unboxed this GOLDENMATE 1000VA/800W Lithium UPS last night and were very impressed. The product looks very nice and it was packaged well, almost over-packaged when you think about the amount of cardboard that gets used. The display is bright, easy to read, and very intuitive. We charged it overnight and then tested it on our computer setup today. We have 2 computers, one large 4K monitor, and lots of peripherals. With an average load of 120 watts or so, this unit powered our setup for over an hour and used 2 out of 5 bars of battery level. I don't know if it is linear but the manual states it uses a 25.7v 9Ah battery. That's roughly 230 watt hours ignoring conversion losses. With our usage, that would give us 2 hours of run time with the power out and that's about what our first test showed. I plugged it in and out of the outlet a few times and none of our equipment even blinked so it seems robust. The best part is we NEVER heard the fan come on! Our older Eaton UPS was a great protector of our gear but the fan noise was bad enough that we had to put it in another room and run an extension cord from it. One thing to consider when you set this up is any peripherals that use large surge currents, like laser printers. In our case, the laser printer we use surges 10A or more when the internal heater comes on, and also spikes power when we print something. So, we chose to leave that off the UPS circuit. No sense wasting large amounts of capacity servicing a printer during a power outage. If you have much higher loads like this you need to protect then this product may not be big enough for you. But for our needs it's a winner. Now we can put this Goldenmate UPS right next to our other equipment and hope it will keep it all safe for a few good years. Thanks Goldenmate for a nice product!

This is my first UPS and I purchased this specifically for the longevity of a lithium iron phosphate battery (~10 years) compared to the 1-2 years of a lead acid battery. I needed this for a very specific use-case - I only experience blackouts that last 1-2 seconds, but these frequently happen, especially when the weather is poor. I wanted to protect my computer from any potential damage or data loss from this frequent power cycling, and so far it has worked perfectly. I wasn't sure if the transfer time of 8 to 20 ms would be good enough to prevent my computer from shutting down, but so far while under light usage (while drawing 100-200 watts), it has worked perfectly with no interruption. I have yet to experience a power loss while the system was under heavy load, so I can't comment on that yet. The one criticism I have of this UPS is the ports are spaced very closely together so you may run into difficulty if you have large power bricks. However, this problem can be easily mitigate by using very short extension cords for those power bricks so I think this is an overall rather minor criticism.

I got this because my Xbox Series X kept flipping my breaker (this fixed it). After 30+ hours of lost game play, I did bunch of research and landed on this one due to its large battery, high output (VA), and pure sine wave (see bottom for sine wave details). After plugging in my entire home theater (85” TV, sound bar, Xbox, Nintendo, AppleTV, WiFi router, light strip, fan, & antenna) I turned everything on and unplugged the UPS. Nothing turned off, hummed, or changed in any way. After testing a few more times, my TV occasionally power cycled, but none of the other devices tuned off. The TV’s normal power cycle takes 10 - 15 seconds and these were 3 - 5 seconds. It could be a sensitive surge protection fail safe? In the off chance someone is reading this with a similar Xbox / breaker issue - this UPS is an actual fix, not a bandaid. I only intended it to let me save my game after a tripped breaker, but the breaker doesn’t trip when the Xbox is plugged into it. Sine Wave Details: Pure sine waves deliver the exact power needed continuously. Modified sine waves change their output periodically. ChatGPT / Reddit said pure sine waves are only necessary for sensitive equipment (scientific / medical). A deeper dive suggested it’s preferred for tech (computers / TVs) because some devices will make a humming noise. However, none of this is applicable until a power failure and the UPS takes over.

All major brands like APC, Cyberpower, etc. have Lithium based UPS devices, but are price gated at a min of 800 USD, commonly 1500 USD or more, marketed for the enterprise sector only. Finally a company that brings the longevity of lithium to the consumer UPS based market at an extremely affordable price! With my current Cyberpower 1500VA/900W model, with an avg of 100w draw, i can get about 45 more mins of runtime before loses power completely. There was a year where I experienced freq outages and had to rely on the UPS to keep me online till I could get the generator started and connected to house. Also the generator would occasionally spike to 62Hz, which is outside Cyberpower and APC's sensing AC power freq, so it would stop charging, supper annoying. After a year of full drains I had to replace the battery, which avg about 1/3 the cost of the unit itself. If infrequent power loss events the batteries usually last about 2 years, 3 years if they're AGM instead of sealed lead acid based. With this Goldenmate unit the battery runtime with an avg of 100w draw lasts for almost 3 hrs! The power loss alarm is a very pleasant beep that is about 3x lower decibel than other UPSs. I'm hoping the batteries used in this unit are on the higher end and will last near the 10 year warranty mark. Since this is Lithium and not AGM based batteries, it's about 3x lighter than the comparable AGM based unit. The cons: -No USB connection for external monitoring/feature option changes with rasp pi/linux like most UPS units at this price point have had for the past 15+ years. -No way to mute the alarm or adjust it to turn on when the battery is critically low. -Spacing issues on the 8 plug model, in order to connect a large voltage regulated plug (e.g. cellphone charger) I have to use a power strip, or partially cover another plug. -Power the unit on and off is a simple push, rather than a push and hold for 3+ seconds, which makes it possible to accidently power down if something accidently knocks into it. Overall this is an excellent consumer UPS, if it just had some of the industry standard features mentioned in the cons section, this would easily be a 5 star product. To those wondering how to dismantle this unit it's put together using tabs, so just use a shim to pop them then the cover slides off. Although the power loss alarm is quiet, it gets annoying to hear for 3hrs, so I had to get into the unit to disable it. 3 Weeks later updated from 4 to 1 star review. I live off grid, when anything with an initial high AMP draw like a water pump or AC unit kicks on, everything attached to the goldenmate stays on except for my PC for some reason. My other UPS didn't have that issue. Also after about 2 weeks, I hear a noticeable buzzing sound, it's slightly loud than my PC fan. This usually indicates that either the voltage regulator is about to fail or is of subpar quality, either way it's super annoying. But the number 1 thing I need it to save is my PC during a power surge/outage event which it fails to provide. Since it's SO much cheaper than any other lithium based UPS, I'm going to exchange it, I'm hoping this is just a dud. I will update later. 12/2/24 update - 1 star to 4 stars There was no option to exchange the original unit I purchased from August, so I returned it for a full refund. They had a cheaper deal directly from them vs their Amazon store for Black Friday so I ordered 3 of them and and got an extra $9 off each for bulk discount. They were shipped much faster than when I originally ordered though Amazon in August 2024. The current model has had an improvement revision compared to the previous unit I bought in August; the newer unit's power button has been changed from standard on/off to a multi-function button. So now there's no accidental power switch bump power loss, it's a 3 sec hold delay. A single press temp mutes the buzzer during power loss and fault code errors. They also added a proprietary serial port for troubleshooting - Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on consumer usage, seems to be a factory only service serial port. To add to the con list, they should implement extra app based controls to help prolong the life of the battery, or implement some hard coded limits like unit shutdown at 10% battery life. 12/14/24 update - Zero post-sale support - 4 stars to 2 stars 2 of the 3 units I ordered direct work perfectly, the 1 that doesn't, after ~2 weeks of great performance, it auto-shutoff with the error USO, which is an error referring to an overload. The directions to resolve this error are to turn off the unit, unplug all devices, turn unit on and plug in devices 1 by 1. I found out that mine is defective, I plugged in a monitor that was using 1watt, then a phone charger using 15w, and various other devices, they all singularly caused the USO error. I emailed them at [email protected], it's been 3 days now and no response, it's the weekend now, I'm going to give them till Monday to respond, after which I'll start a dispute with Paypal. Any year length warranty means nothing when they ignore your support requests... Buy at your own risk to it becoming a paper weight in 1 year. 12/18/24 update It took them 1 biz week to respond. My unit is clearly defective and their expert instructions were to try all the things in the manual that I already did, and when that doesn't work, leave the unit off and unplugged for a week then try again... In conclusion, they really don't want to ship a replacement nor do they want to issue a refund... AGAIN, BUYER BEWARE! I've opened a dispute with Paypal. 2/20/25 update - 2 stars to 3 stars In conclusion out of the 3 units bought 2 of them work great still, the other 1 is a dud. Thankfully Paypal saw through their back and forth BS and Goldenmate's unwillingness to honor their own warranty, I was able to get my money back for the 1 defective unit. If you bought via Amazon then unfortunately your SOL if you have an issue after 30 days, because they are the stereotypical CN scam company when it comes to warranty honoring. Today, Goldenmate is still the only company that provides a lithium based UPS at a great price targeted for the average consumer's market, I would buy again, BUY VIA THEIR OFFICIAL SITE AND WITH PAYPAL ONLY SO YOU HAVE OVER 30 DAYS BUYER PROTECTION, plus they offer volume discounts for 2+ - Otherwise you're risking throwing away $159 - $200 (amazon only pricing) each.
