Review: 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.
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?**
A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices.

**Q: Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?**
A: Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will revert o passing utility power to connected electronics.

**Q: Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?**
A: This Back-UPS has a typical transfer time of 6ms to 10ms to switch to battery power when the main power goes out. The transfer time is fast enough that most devices will not experience a power drop when the UPS transitions to battery power.

**Q: Can I plug the UPS to an extension cord or does it have to be plugged in to a wall outlet?**
A: In order for your UPS to get the best power available, it should be plugged directly into the wall outlet. Plugging your UPS into a surge protector may cause the UPS to go to battery often when it normally should remain offline.

**Q: Which battery replacement should I purchase and from where?**
A: The Back-UPS BR1500MS2 internal battery has a lifespan of up to 5 years, depending on the usage and maintenance of the battery. When the battery is ready to be replaced, you can purchase model APCRBC163 directly from APC.
