About This Item

Protect high-end devices with this CyberPower UPS battery backup. The multifunction LCD screen provides immediate charge status of the battery and power conditions to keep you informed, while the automatic voltage regulation maintains a safe voltage level to conserve battery life. This CyberPower UPS battery backup has data line protection that helps prevent damage to electronics. The GX1500U features an advanced multifunction control panel with a color LCD to quickly confirm status and alerts at-a-glance. The screen tilts for easy viewing when the UPS is placed in a low position such as under a desk. Two USB charge ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) power portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, even during a utility power failure. The GX1500U uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently.

A: Yes, this battery backup features an LCD graphics display.

Q: Does this device have an audible alarm?

A: Yes, this device has an audible alarm that will notify you of changing utility power and UPS power conditions.

Q: What is the joule rating for this CyberPower battery backup?

A: This CyberPower battery backup has a 1445-joule rating.

Q: What is the maximum battery life of this device?

A: The maximum battery life of this device is 8 hours.

Q: Whats the difference between this model and the CP1500PFCLCD? I've seen glowing reviews for the Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCD but literally nothing for the model shown here.

A: After a ton of research on the Cyber Power website and side by side comparison, here are the answers to your question: CP1500PFCLCD has the option of remote/auto shut down of your devices by buying and installing the RMCARD205 hardware to the UPS. This allows you to control or set up for auto shutdown of your devices. Go take a look at the pictures of the back of both UPS devices. The specs also state that the CP1500PFCLCD has SNMP communication but the GX1500u does not. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. The CP1500PFCLCD as a clear obvious spot to install the RMCARD205, whereas the GX1500u does not. The product descriptions on Cyber Powers website clearly state that BTOH are PFC Pure Sine. I know it gets confusing when you actually search for True Sine UPS PFC and only the CP and OR models show up. However, as I do side by side-word for word comparison of the models, they both clearly state that they are AVR PFC True Sine UPS's. You are paying extra for remote access/auto controls. Also, the GX1500u only uses 1 type of model for battery replacement, whereas, the CP1500PFCLCD has 2 options for different model numbers. Again, they are both True Sine PFC AVR UPS's.

Q: Is it really true that using an extension cord or plug strip voids the warranty? If true, this is a show-stopper. What about all the little power supplies for modem, router, external hard drives, USB hubs, monitors, etc. physically won't reach the UPS?

A: Hello Joe, You would never want to daisy chain a surge strip into any other surge strip or UPS as it would become a fire hazard. Extension cords may be used if there is only one output and if the wire gauge is the same or larger wire gauge. For more detail, please reach out to our team at 877-297-6937. We'd love to be of assistance. Thank you for submitting your question!
