Q: What is the wattage? How does it compares to the GX1500U?
A: Wattage GX150C2: Capacity: 1500 VA / 1000 W Wattage GX1500U: Capacity: 1500 VA / 900 W The GX150C2 delivers 100 W more output than the GX1500U, and includes gaming‑focused features like customizable RGB lighting and additional outlets. Both offer pure sine wave output and AVR for stable power, but the GX150C2 provides a bit more headroom for high‑performance systems.
Q: Does this provide pure sine wave output from impure AC input (like a generator)
A: Hello, this is a line interactive, pure sinewave UPS. While operating in battery mode it will deliver pure sinewave power to the outputs. While operating in Line Mode, it will output whatever it is put in to it., it has an automated voltage regular to handle brownouts, surges and other voltage related events, but the unit is not equipped to deal with issues with the source waveform, such the dirty output of generator power. This model was designed to receive power from the utility grid and does not support generator use. Please look into double-conversion models of UPS for handline waveform issues.
Q: how long does the power last when the electricity goes out?
A: Hello Carlos, that really depends on the power needs of the computer and the load of the computer at the time of the outage. We post battery runtimes on our website located https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/tools/runtimes/ and this model's information is available. Note that all runtimes are based on a healthy battery, if your battery is old or degraded, expect your runtimes may be less. You can also get an estimate of runtime for this model on a USB connected computer running PowerPanel, note that the load is constantly fluctuating as well, the load you see while gaming will be significantly higher than what it would normally be while your computer is idle
Q: Can it handle a 1200 watt rig with dual monitors?
A: Thank you for your question! The CyberPower GX150C2 Gaming UPS is rated for 1500VA / 1000W, so it would not be able to support a 1200W rig with dual monitors at full load. Connecting equipment that exceeds the UPS’s wattage capacity can cause overload and prevent proper backup during an outage. If you need protection for a 1200W setup, we recommend considering a higher-capacity model, such as one rated for at least 1500W or more, to ensure safe and reliable performance. Alternatively, you could move non-critical devices (like speakers or secondary monitors) off the UPS and onto a surge protector. This helps keep the UPS load at or below its optimal capacity, ideally around 80% of its rated wattage (800W) for better runtime and reliability.
Q: Is the front outlet a battery protected outlet or just a surge protected one?
A: Yes is battery protected!
