First let me say that I support computer networks as part of my professional career and we use a lot of these UPS units (both the 1000VA and the 1500VA models) for some years now. In our business environment we have mandated monthly generator tests (typically 30 minutes) and this means that we put these to the test because we install them in many locations that do not have generator coverage and they have to keep things running while the tests are conducted. I also use one of these in my home office that I purchased 4 years ago and did not need to replace the battery yet. I never turn off any of my home office equipment and while I sometimes find the microwave clock reset due to a power outage, the office equipment is up and running like nothing happened. So, although there are many reviews about these UPS devices, I will try to make my review useful for both models and I hope it is helpful to someone looking for a UPS and is confused with all the choices out there.How many VA you need:No one can give you a specific answer on that because most loads will be rated in Watts (you can find the wattage in the lapel or the manual of your "load") and that can mean different amount of VA depending on the type of load. The UPS is rated in VoltAmperes (VA) which does not help a whole lot for real life AC loads. There is a difference between VA and W depending on the phase angle and the type of load but I will not bore you with that. Generally, for inductive loads you can multiply the VA by 0.8 and get a safe number of how many Watts of load you can connect. In most cases you will not connect inductive loads like motors so if you go with the VA x 0.8 rule you cannot go wrong. To give you a real world example, I have a BR1000G (1000VA) UPS in my home office and I have connected 2 40" LED monitors, 1 65" LED Samsung TV and 2 desktop computers. The UPS displays 460 Watts of load and it translates that to 56% of total capacity. Don't forget that as you connect stuff to the UPS, you will be able to see the load level on its screen. It is also recommended not to use more than 70% of the load capacity constantly. Keeping the load at 70% or less of the UPS capacity, will prolong battery life and power duration during outages and also, will allow to withstand an added 30% of temporary spikes in power demand.Placement:You should be aware that these units will work great and live long as long as you do not install them in places where ambient temperature exceeds 75 degrees regularly. I have seen many fail after a few months and they were all installed in a closet or attic including one that I had inside a multimedia cabinet at my home. Any other unit my team and I has installed in an air conditioned area or just in an open space like an office, has worked for at least a couple of years without an issue and all we ever had to do was replace the batteries and get it back in service working like new. So, keep it in a cool place if possible and make sure it is standing up because it has bents from the bottom and top forcing hot air to escape and cool air to enter.User Interface:The user interface is very simple with only 3 buttons and can give you basic and advanced information if you need it. At default, the screen displays the line input voltage (typically 110V to 120V), a graph showing the load and a graph showing the battery charge level. Here is what else you can see on the display by pressing the menu button (left button on the top).1) Event counter: Typically shows how many times the UPS had to switch to battery power.2) Estimated run time in minutes. This depends on the load. The more stuff you connected to the UPS the less time it will provide power to them until the battery is depleted.3) Current load in Watts.4) Current load in percentage.5) Output voltage6) Output frequencyThe center button is the power on/off and it is not that easy to press because it does not extrude from its housing. To power off, you must hold it in for 2 seconds and to power on you must hold it for about half a second. There is also a silence button which is very useful because the beeping can drive you nuts when main power is out and it is using the batteries.Connecting your stuff:Note that as you look at the UPS from the back, only the left side outlets will remain powered during a power outage. The right side outlets (marked "Surge Only") are nothing more than line voltage outlets that have a surge protection circuit. For example, you should plug in your computer main unit and monitor on the left side outlets marked as "Battery Backup" and heavy loads like your laser printer on the right side marked "Surge Only". Keep in mind that the least load you plug in the "Battery Backup" outlets, the more time the batteries will be able to keep running on a single charge.There is also a Master outlet control function that you can select by holding the Menu button in for 2 seconds and calibrate it when holding it in for 6 seconds. What that does is to control power to the "Master Controlled" marked outlets depending on the load of the "Master" outlet. So if you wish, you can calibrate it so when your computer that is plugged in the "Master" outlet is off and does not draw any current, the UPS will also turn off power to the "Master Controlled" outlets. When you turn on your computer, the UPS will see the current drawn at the master outlet and will turn on power to the rest of the outlets. However, I should say here that I never needed to use this function and I am not that excited about it because many things like small copiers and advanced printers, need to be powered off by their power button and abrupt power outages (caused by the cut off of the "Master Controlled" outlets) can damage them.Replacing batteries:Batteries are super easy to install, at the time of this review you can get them on Amazon at 46 bucks for both the1500VA and the 1000VA model (search for "BR1500G Battery" and look for the ones with the green label). To install them, unplug the UPS, power it off and slide the battery cover (located underneath) off the unit. Pull the battery pack from the plastic tabs and just drop the new battery pack in. You cannot put it in the wrong way and unlike other UPS units, you need no tools and you do not have to play around with cables because the battery pack has an integrated connector.

I actually purchased two of these for very different reasons. For the first one, I am extremely happy with this UPS for a few reasons:- The display is informative and actually gives you an accurate estimation of the time before the battery dies.- The connectivity to your PC is simple and works. I didn't use the software from APC. Instead I connected it to my computer (Windows 10) and it instantly recognized it was connected to a battery (just like if it was a laptop). Then it's just a matter of setting up the Windows power settings like you would with any laptop. No need for additional software.- The capacity is pretty decent. I have a thirsty PC connected to it. In addition, I have a 40"4k TV, 24" 1080p monitor, and 29" ultrawide 1080p monitor. With everything running in performance mode, I still get 20 minutes of use. This is more than enough time to cover brownouts and short full power interruptions without issue. For anything longer, everything gets shut down automatically.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this UPS to anyone looking to have a battery backup for this home or small office anything.The second one is actually being used as a battery backup for a CPAP machine for power interruptions while sleeping. A family member of mine is not able to sleep at all if their CPAP machine isn't functional. This easily provides 4 hours of power in the event of an outage. It might be overkill, but well worth the price for this application.

Buen producto, no hay mucho que decir es apc es línea alta está bien

Hubo una falla, contacte a APC me dijo que era algo mal en la batería que tenía que tenía que cambiarse. Por lo que contacte al proveedor y me dijeron que se reemplazaría pero ya no dieron seguimiento y no me dan respuesta del reemplazo.

Despues de dos meses de uso no he tenido ningun inconveniente, tengo una desktop de alto rendimiento y el tiempo de respaldo que me da es bastante buenoPros- Excelente suprecion de picos- Excelente tiempo de respaldo- Excelentes estadisticas (te indica cuanta energia se esta consumiendo y cuanto durara el respaldo, entro otras)Contras- Tiene el tamaño de una pc micro atx- Un poco caro (aunque lo vale)

Debo de dejar pasar un tiempo para evaluar este equipo, aunque por el momento tengo muy buena opinión.2 palabras son necesarias para completar la evaluación del producto.

I bought this APC back-up battery power supply in early 2015, and it's still running perfectly in 2017! Why I love it:- 2 years later, it's still carrying nearly a full charge, easily running for hours just on the battery with all of my networking equipment connected- This larger unit provides WAY more extra battery time than the smaller units- Provides clean power to all of my mission-critical networking equipment so it all lasts longer- Makes no noise whatsoever when the unit is running on AC power

The price is a bit high, but it's a good investment if you live in an area with frequent power outages. I use this for my gaming PC that has a 500W power supply, along with a speaker system and a 29-inch monitor. It's able to kick in even when the PC is under heavy load and drawing a lot of power. Under load, it can power the PC for upto 15 minutes, and under normal conditions (browsing etc) it can go upto 45 minutes. The on-screen display displays a bunch of useful information like time remaining, current consumption, voltage etc. You can also mute the UPS so that it doesn't make annoying beeps when the power goes out.The only downside I found was that the fan is too loud. But you'll only hear it when it is charging or during a power outage.

Very good ups. I'm using a pc with 650watt smps and a printer a scanner , a 24 inch monitor. Every thing works perfectly.
