Review: Does what it's supposed to do - all the time - UPDATE: (September 2nd, 2015): We took a major lightning strike to the house while I was away. I was over in Singapore at the time, and could not connect back home to my network - which is very unusual since my network NEVER goes down. When I got home I discovered a palm tree right next to the house took a direct hit from a bolt of lightning, and it blew out two circuit breakers in the house - including the one that the UPS is on - as well as my GFCI down in the garage. The good news is that the CP1500AVR protected all of my equipment. Apparently the CyberPower drained itself all the way down and then shut down the server (which is is attached to). I reset all the house breakers, and everything came back up again, but alas, the batteries would no longer take a charge, and were failing the self-test. So I ordered a new set of batteries ExpertPower ® 12v 9ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery with F2 Terminals (.250") / 2 Pack and replaced them today. All is back up and running, and the UPS performed a successful self-test. Fully expect to get another 4 years out of this product. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE (June 8th, 2013): This product is still going strong. It has protected me over and over, and has NEVER let me down. I live in Florida, and we're getting ready to come into the thunderstorm and hurricane season again, and I'm confident that this UPS will not let me down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE (August 21st, 2013): We've been getting our summer thunderstorms rolling through here at full throttle, and it's still protecting my devices - in fact, it JUST KICKED IN AGAIN as I'm typing this! I just checked the log, and in the past 12 weeks I've had 9 instances where the UPS had kicked in to protect my equipment. Still 5 STARS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE: June 6' 2015. I've had this device for over 4 years now, and it has saved my office electronics countless times since then. Yesterday we had 4 instances where we took power hits where it kicked in - each time it just kept all my equipment running without a single problem. STILL 5 STARS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I purchased this product last August (2011) to ensure that my home office server and all networking gear stayed on the air in the event of power outages. It works perfectly. The device powers all of my critical home office equipment: server, workstation, cable modem, router, switch, KVM, IP phones, monitor. In the past 24 weeks I've had over 19 "Invert" episodes: 4 power outages, 3 under voltages, and 12 over voltages. Not a single hiccup. I have silenced the alarm so that I never hear anything when it happens; I read about it in the log. The software is simple yet efficient. It tells me what I need to know. All of those devices described above draw a combined 165 watts. My estimated run time (per the software) is about 37 minutes. Don't be put off by all the negative reviews about this. It works.
Review: Great UPS. Packaging could use improvement. - I've only tested this in an "artificial" scenario, i.e., pulling the plug from the wall after having it charged. Well, it did fine there (as well as with the "self-test" available via the software config). Make sure to download the new software from the Cyberpower website for the latest version. I'm using it on Windows 7 64 bit, and it performs flawlessly. Low resources, and stable. Impressive. At any rate, I really enjoy the readout from the front. Voltage In, Voltage Out, Power frequency, instantaneous power consumption (in kW), and load and battery capacity as well as estimated runtime are available from the front display. After a period of inactivity, the screen will turn off to avoid needless power consumption. A simple button press will bring it back. As I stated earlier, I haven't had to test its actual capabilities yet (probably better this way, ha). But living in Florida, that's expected as long as it's not the summer - which is when most of our power events occur. Whether it's a lightning storm, or peak load on the grid during a hot summer afternoon when ACs are on full blast, various conditions can create short power outages, or more likely, severe brownouts. I've lost a router this way. However, I feel more confident with this UPS. I wish it would boost and buck at narrower ranges (the low limit is 90Vac and high limit is 140Vac before it bucks/boosts by switching to the battery), to keep it more in line with the 120Vac +/- 5% optimal range. But that's ok. This UPS will be tested in real world conditions, but it'll have to wait until the next Florida summer. I figured I'd buy it now while it's cheaper! The thing that impressed me the most was it's capacity. I appear to have way overestimated my needs! ha. According to the software, with my computer, 22" LCD monitor, Klipsch 2.1 speakers, and my Linksys WRT54GL router plugged in, I have about 38 minutes of runtime. Load is only around 13% or so. I wish it came with more battery backup outlets, but it is ok for my needs. If I need to, I can simply put in a splitter to gain a few extra outlets. (Note: if you do this, make sure to not exceed the total capacity of the UPS, or to overload the one outlet - it can only handle so many amps... use the split with lower-drain devices like modems and routers; in addition, use a regular power splitter, not one with a surge protector built in. It isn't recommended to daisy chain surge protectors due to possible harmonic effects between them during a power event). Also, be sure to heed the warning in the instructions: do not connect a laser printer due to its high transient current draws. I have a Brother laser printer that I have connected to my non-UPS surge protector (the one I used before I bought this UPS). My only complaint is that whether by UPS' handling, or maybe handling somewhere earlier in the chain, a corner of the UPS had cracked and bent. It was disappointing, but the unit itself still worked, and it wasn't a hazard in any way. It's cosmetic damage, but I wish perhaps it was better packed, since throwing around this 30+ lb box as it was packed certainly will do some damage. I wish desertcart would have put some extra packing around the retail box; instead, they ship the retail box in a bigger cardboard box, and stuff some brown paper in. Some peanuts, bubble wrap, and/or air bags would have served the task far, far better here, especially for something so heavy. However, with the free super saver shipping, I suppose you get what you pay for. BUT - the UPS still works and with damage only on that back corner, so I won't complain too much. Anyway, if you're looking for a decent UPS at a great price point, I'd recommend this. Obviously, if you're looking for mission-critical or very high end (pure sine wave output type) UPSes, you will have to spend more. However, for the majority of home and small office users, something like this should be perfect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is maintenance like on an UPS?  Isn't the battery constantly being overcharged?  How often should you replace a battery in an UPS?**
A: I purchased mine in August 2008 and it's March 2016 now.  The software is only just telling me now that I need to replace the batteries, so I'd say for me at least the battery life has been fantastic, with no maintenance.  This is in contrast to another CyberPower Unit I had, a CP1000AVR, and an APC unit I had, neither of which lasted even half as long as this unit has.  I can't recall if maybe those units weren't line interactive, but all I can say is that this UPS has been fantastic and zero maintenance until now.  Replacement batteries are $68 on Amazon or as low as $32 at other online sellers.

**Q: is this a better product than the apc  BR1500G ?**
A: I purchased an APC BR1500G about five months ago for a high wattage new computer build.  The build got delayed because of the demands of my academic job.  On September 8th, when it was pretty clear that Hurricane Irma was going to directly hit Naples, I thought about re-purposing my UPSs (four CyberPower 1000s, and the yet unused BR1500) for supplying light, power for my receiver (for listening to local radio broadcasts), and charging my iPhone and two iPads when the power inevitably went out.  The afternoon of Sep 9th, I plugged all five units into the wall to make sure that they had time to fully charge before the hurricane hit.   Being twice as heavy as the CyberPower units, I had great expectations for the BR1500.  Also, because it was new, I expected it to perform to its full potential.  Before anyone asks, yes, I read the manual's instructions for reversing the battery for the initial charge.  Irma hit Naples in the late afternoon Sep 10th with Cat-4 winds, and the power went out at about 6:00pm.  While it was still light, I tried to ready the APC for its job for the night.  For over an hour, I tried to coax power from the unit.  I tested the battery and found it to be fully charged, but when inserted in the unit, the APC remained dead.  I found that I could get power out of it if I kept the battery cover off and laid it on its side, but the current out the AC side was intermittent, at best.  Giving up on the APC, I used what I thought to be the newest of my CyberPower UPSs.  That first CyberPower unit provided power to three 35W LED lamps, and the receiver for over eight hours that first night when I shut it down.  It lasted an additional three hours the second night, while it was supplying light, running the receiver, and charging all three iDevices which were depleted during the day.  I got similar results from the second, and third CyberPower units (one of which was at least three years old).  The power came back on the fifth day after the hurricane, and I never got to the fourth CyberPower UPS.  When I read the warranty instructions for the BR1500G, they demanded that the faulty unit be sent directly to APC and not returned to the seller.  I decided to eat my mistake and include the BR1500 in the refuse bin with all of the rest of the hurricane debris (I removed, and kept the battery).  When we're not having a hurricane, power outages seldom last for more than a few seconds, and are mainly 1-2 sec brownouts, so I never really got to test the CyberPower units in any real-world application before the hurricane.  I have Thanksgiving week off and I intend to complete the computer build I started in May.  For me, choosing the CP1500 CyberPower for backup of the new computer was a no-brainer .  In my opinion, APC makes undependable units that I intend to avoid at all costs.

**Q: Does this UPS make any noise while it is running?**
A: ive had the 1500 unit for nearly 8 years with no noise or issue while running 2 pc's, a 55" tv, a 27" monitor, and a stereo receiver.  Just recently after the unit being unplugged and off for 3 weeks, it now has a quiet, yet annoying hum while powered up (still plugged to the wall with power)

**Q: If I have a 800 Watt computer but also want to plug other things into the PC, should I get the 810 watt model or this one?**
A: Honestly, it's going to depend on what you want to plug in and how well the wiring is in your home.  I am no electrical expert, but will give you my thoughts.  I doubt your 800 watt computer is really 800 watts, unless it has multiple video cards and maybe lots of water cooling.  My PC for example is a mid-range gaming rig with a single fan cooled video card, and with the PC and 32 inch HDTV monitor, it will be around 270 watts, but if I am gaming and have other apps running, it could peak above 520 watts.  Additionally if your wiring in your home is really strained, having some more wattage give you more of a safety cushion.  YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO EXCEED YOUR WATTAGE OUTPUT, else it will exceed the capacity of your UPS and everything will lose power, that is true of any UPS.  As far as additional stuff, it depends on how much power it will use.  I have in total, a PC, HDTV, DVR other stuff plugged in and runs just fine.  If you having something like THX speakers, the power can draw 100 watts if you are gaming, and that is a lot of juice to add on.  I had them plugged into the battery side, but moved them to surge only cause of the wattage output was a bit high.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***N on May 12, 2021*

Compre este UPS para reemplazar un Koblenz que dejo de servir. Lo uso para proteger mi pc gamer (700W) cuando se va la luz, el tiempo de respaldo es muy bueno ya que sin problemas me permite guardar mi partida/archivos y poder apagar el equipo sin preocupación. Lo mejor para mi es lo silencioso que es (comprado con el que tenia) además de su sistema de ahorro de energía (que apaga el LCD cuando no esta en uso). Otra cosa que me agrada es que tiene la opción de silenciarlo, la alerta sonora que hacen estos equipos a la perdida de la energía a mi me resulta algo molesta (ya es cuestión de gustos). Y su forma permite que al manejarlo aunque es algo pesado, se sienta menos pesado. Honestamente yo si recomendaría este UPS, he usado de varias marcas y modelos, pero este en concreto me ha dejado bastante feliz.
