In Power Protection

The UPS works well and the software was a breeze on 64 bit win 7.

Does its job

+ • 5 Battery backup outlets • All outlets protected with surge suppression. • USB charging port (1.5A) • PC power monitoring software (PowerChute) • LED power mode indicator (AC, battery backup) • Muted aesthetics, not an eye catcher. • 45º angled power plug is great for crowded outlets or power strips. • Seamless backup power in the event of power loss. I set this battery backup for use with my PC and monitor, and has been a great addition to my set up. The PowerChute software provides almost real-time power consumption and estimated battery run time on power failure. The PowerChute software can be configured to shut down your PC for you in the event of power loss, at a set interval of time. For my hardware scenario I set the software to 5 minutes on battery before shutting down my PC, given my current PC hardware configuration. Current specs: i7 5820k x99 motherboard GTX 1060 6GB OC 16GB DDR4 1.35v (2x 8GB) 2 SSD’s, and one 3TB WD black HD. 1x BD/DVD optical. 4 140mm fans, 2 120mm fans 630W 80+ gold rated PSU This battery backup is sufficient for my use, as even under load (gaming) the software reports that I should have more than 6 minutes of battery run time. At idle the PowerChute software reports that I should have 18+ minutes on battery, which is plenty of time to save work and shut down should I choose to extend the battery run time before auto shutdown. Some other nice features of the PowerChute software is that it can report daily cost of operating attached equipment, total energy usage per month in kWh and interestingly estimated carbon dioxide emissions per day. Perform firmware updates, run self diagnostics, set hours at which alarms are active (if you dont want to be alerted to an alarm at 3 a.m.) What I’ve checked most often is the current energy consumption and load on battery backup. I was surprised to see that my system uses much less energy than I thought, with an average of 115 Watts at idle, and 265 +/- Watts under load, this is including my 144Hz monitor drawing 23 Watts. I really like the addition of a USB charging port, which also provides power on battery. This is a great way to charge your phone in a power outage, a 1.5 amp capacity should be enough for most phones and most tablets.

- From a power and plug standpoint, this is just a newer (and slightly less bulky) version of the XS 1500. - By comparison, buttons are now on top making it easier to locate from a seated position if you keep the unit on the floor. - The display is brighter than my previous unit (and not red!) while active which is welcomed. - Tested it under full load twice and held up like a champ.

This UPS was a great solution to support networking equipment (modem, router, switch) that I installed in my basement. It has lots of outlets and the size of the unit was perfect for mounting on the network wall panel.

I have these throughout my home...I learned my lesson when I lost a HDMI input on my TV,and a Modem;when Those items were the only electronics that didn't have a surge protector,during a storm.

Best part of this UPS is the LCD display. It has a pocketful of vitals that it can display. I leave it set to Output (in wattage) to keep an eye on my power usage. It has a nice back light that can be seen day or night.

No problems. I love its slim design... fits under my furniture with everything plugged in. Other surge protectors are too tall.

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

- Great packaging, fast delivery.

This APC BR1500MS2 Back UPS PRO backs up and stabilizes the power to my network modem, router, NAS, PBX, FAX machine and VoIP interface. It also protects them from surges. Even momentary power interruptions can be a serious interruption to my wife's and my work and potentially costly. Brief utility power interruptions cause no problems on our network. During a sustained outage, the internal batteries in this UPS keep our network infrastructure running long enough for me to start our backup power generator and get it on-line. Living on a coastal island in a hurricane zone, power glitches are common. My previous UPS was a similar APC model that served me well for more than ten years before it needed another set of batteries and was on the verge of being functionally obsolete.

Works as expected. keeps my devices running long enough for temporary power outages or for me to shut things down if I need to.

Great protector with lots of outlets.

ZERO PROBLEMS! Excellent brown-out and power loss protection. Works well without the need of software, Windows 7 Pro recognizes the UPS and hibernates the PC if needed. Never a loss of data.

Batteries for the BR1000G are easy to install. The unit itself is heavy and bulky but easy to remove the battery shield. Grab the 2 tabs attached to the batteries and pull gently. The old batteries will slide right out. Then insert the new batteries the same way the old batteries game out, pay attention to the paper tape attached to the batteries for the right direction to insert the batteries. Once installed and running the BR1000G will start beeping roughly 1 to 1.5 days or 24 to 36 hours after installation. The unit will inform you either thru the software or the device itself that there is a battery issue. There is NOT it is the device checking the batteries and it will stop after about an hour or so. Then all will be fine. Do not get concerned that the battery is bad

Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.

The unit is nicely designed and takes up little space. I have two of these - one at home and one I carry around with my computer. I'm going to get a third one to replace another failing surge protector at home. It seems to do a fantastic job of protecting equipment, too. I plugged it into a circuit that I knew had power spike problems and it performed well...unlike the brand-new Radio Shack surge protectors, which fried my power supplies.
