Works as it should so far.
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.My old APC kept making loud high pitched noise when I plug in an electronic on the battery side and since it is over 10 years old I think it’s served it’s purpose. This new one haven’t been tested yet but works fine now.

This is the one
||Posted .I searched far and wide including big name popular online platforms nothing would touch this for features and price. I needed 12 outlets and the usb built on the power block there is a sibling to this one that has the LED indicator for 20 to 30 dollars more but a simple indicator beep on this does that job just fine because power drain is related to number of devices. 3 year warranty big name maker. I run a 65 inch TV computer ps4 and Nintendo switch modem router and repeater and USB plug ins for charging game controllers and a smart watch. It handles these things with grace. If you want bang for buck and don't have a huge stand by voltage need I would say there is nothing better.

Outlets orientation an issue in certain areas
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.First off, this is a great unit. Only had it a couple weeks and had a three hour power outage. Kept the computer running plenty long for me to shut down safely. Something I didn’t notice until I had it at home and was plugging things in is that the outlets on the surge side have the ground pointing to the center. This is fine for regular plugs, but could cause some routing issues if you have several flat plugs that would crossover the center. Though, I can see the design, as it is, would be helpful if you have the unit in a tight spot in a cabinet.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs it safe to plug a PC into this that contains a 850w power supply?
Asked by Murph.
- A:Answer NO, if using for battery backup power supply. Rule of thumb for UPS is 1.6 times the watt load for ALL equipment plugged into the UPS battery backup side. Even though your computer is not likely using 850 watts all of the time (can only be determined by using an amp probe and converting to watts) you will have to back up at minimum the monitor also to be able to safely close all programs and properly shut down the computer and monitor. This may take several minutes or you could loose data &/or damage the protected equipment if you overload the UPS. If you want to be safe, but do not know the actual watts being used I'd suggest using the rated watts of all equipment plugged into the UPS battery side times 1.6. You should properly shut down that equipment when your home power is lost as a UPS is normally used to allow time for safe shut down, not to keep working with a computer for hours on battery backup power. These units battery power is also a simulated sine wave and I do not operate computers for any duration, just have the battery power to safely shut down my equipment. If you want to continue working you should look at an inverter generator that produces an actual true sine wave........a lot more costly option.

Q: QuestionWhat is the best way to size the APC, esp power rating, for running and protecting PC, Monitor and DSL Modem?
Asked by ByEngineer.
- A:Answer There is a loooong theory behind this, but in VERY short words. Backups has 1 clearly stated number which is given in VA (volt ampere) ex 500VA, but computer devices comes with a power measure in Watts. Before continuing VA is NOT the same as Watt. You should find in the backup/UPS user manual to get the real power value in Watts, don't feel sad if you don't find it, sometimes its normal. If you don't find it then assume the worst case multiply the VA measure by 0.6 factor, so in our example 500 VA x 0.6 = 300W, so this UPS can deliver up to 300W at this point all you have to do is go to the back part of your monitor, PC, and modem get the power units in Watts that are always clearly stated then you sum all of them and they should be LOWER than or 300W. Warning: UPSs have 2 types of power connectors 1 type is battery backup and other is surge protection only. All this explanation applies to the battery backup side. Lets say you need to connect a printer that will always go to the surge protection side and NEVER to the battery side.

Q: QuestionI bought one of this 1.5 years ago but it started failing me after only 1 year. I looked up for support in cyberpower for warranty, but after many attempts to get response, they have not replied at all. Seems that the battery is not replaceable
Asked by Yorch.
- A:Answer there is no way to update the post, but it is me again with news. I called the number that was posted here by Tech Support and to my surprise I found that there is another similar site called cyberpowerPC which is different from the cyberpower Tech Support to get the warranty valid. He took care of my matter and a new battery is now on its way. So service was great and the company has earned my trust again!

Q: QuestionIs there a way to set the UPS to not have an audible alarm on power outages? Is there a way to mute the audible alarm during a power outage?
Asked by SRHansen.
- A:Answer Hello srhansen, The audible alarm can be turned OFF or ON by quickly pressing the POWER button twice. To turn the Alarm back ON, quickly press the power button twice. You will hear a single short beep when the Alarm is turned On. Thank you for your question.

Q: QuestionDoes this unit work with Power Panel software and come with the cable to do so ?
Asked by VeganNerd.
- A:Answer I have no idea about 'power panel software' this unit does not have ethernet connection and no other cable comes with it. Maybe the higher models 1000va and above. Hope this helps.
