QuestionIs there any type of guarantee from APC if my computer gets fried by a surge?
Asked 6 years ago by Jeff.
- Answer Nope. APC says LOTS of things when they are trying to separate you from your money. But when it comes right down to it (try filing a claim) they will ask you to PROVE that your device was plugged into their UPS when it was fried. Then you will have to send photos of all the parts showing how much POWER they use. And you will have to add up all the watts or Volt-Amps and prove that your device did not overpower their junky little UPS. My brand new APC Back-UPS 450 was not capable of powering my tiny little cable box. I am NOT holding my breath for remuneration...

QuestionWill this unit run a 1/2 horsepower garage door opener for a couple of UP/DOWN cycles?
Asked 8 years ago by Dave.
- Answer I haven't tried but this is a very small battery. Very very small. There is a good chance it might try to open the garage door only to either burn up the APC or worse your garage door opener due to lack of amperes. When you have a load pulling more amps than a power supply can provide what generally happens is something gets smoked. If you were trying to get a portable way to open a garage door then I would get a large car battery, a 12v. power inverter (to convert the car battery to 120v AC.), and a cheap battery charger to refill the car battery. This will be more expensive but much safer and less chance of screwing up your garage door opener. Before you spec out and buy your 12v power inverter look on your garage door opener for input current or wattage. If it is displayed in wattage take the number and divide by 110, this will tell you how many amps it pulls out of your wall. It'll probably be arourd 2 to 6 amps or so (I've never messed with a garage door but there are other factors at play that I cannot estimate like how heavy your door is and how much of a counterbalance you have aiding the lift.). Use that amp rating when deciding on a power inverter and make sure your inverter is 30% stronger than necessary to avoid smoking components. Good luck. FYI. I have spent a couple years doing work in electronic prototyping.

QuestionWhats the duration of the backup in hours ?
Asked 9 years ago by Neil.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. The amount of runtime available will depend on the size of the load attached. Please refer to the attached brochure for runtime information for typical loads. http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/JSIE-AD7S69/JSIE-AD7S69_R0_EN.pdf?sdirect=true

QuestionDoes the battery recharge and last a lifetime? If not - is it replaceable? Last APC unit the actual battery died
Asked 9 years ago by battery.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. The BN450M will recharge its battery. The normal life of the battery will be anywhere from 3-4 years, depending on battery usage, load percentage and operating environment. The batteries in the BN450M are not user replaceable.

QuestionCould a device like this be used to power a CPAP/BiPAP or AutoPap during power outage? (6-8 hours)
Asked 7 years ago by CPAP.
- Answer I have my BiPAP plugged into this. Not sure how long it will power the CPAP/BiPAP. Since I have had mine plugged in we've only lost power for a total of 10 minutes while using my BiPAP.

QuestionWill it auto shut off an iMac when power goes out? Is the software and hardware fully compatible with Macs?
Asked 8 years ago by Rama.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately this unit will not provide a graceful shutdown of your system. It designed primarily to be used with smaller equipment like a modem and router. If you wanted the UPS to trigger a graceful shutdown than you would need to go with our BE600M1 instead. You would then connect the USB cable that comes with the UPS from the Mac to the UPS. You can use the embedded energy saving features of the Mac OS to provide a graceful shutdown of the system.

QuestionCould I use this on a power recliner to get me back to sitting position to get out of during lights out.
Asked 6 years ago by Patti.
- Answer In a word, yes. My power recliners have a built in battery pack, you might check to see if yours does and if so do those batteries need replacing, but yes, the ups should provide sufficient power to get you “declined”.

QuestionWill this be able to protect my 50" led tv and my denon reciever in a surge or power outage, or should I purchase a backup with more power?
Asked 4 years ago by bigbald.
- Answer Thank you for your interest in our products. I would lean more towards getting a larger UPS because there is a chance that this unit would become overloaded since it only supports 255 watts of equipment attached to it. I would probably look at least towards the BE600M1 or BVN900M1.

QuestionHi, I want to buy this but I do not know if it can provide the Watts I need. My pc uses about 300 to 400 watts during gaming. I see The outlet is rated for 250 watts. Will it provide the needed amount assuming all I have on the apc is the desktop? Thanks
Asked 7 years ago by Levy73.
- Answer It is rated at 255 watts. So I recommend getting one that can safely handle your load at the maximum watts you use.

QuestionIs this back up battery compatible with the equipment installed by Spectrum Charter media systems?
Asked 8 years ago by Ginny.
- Answer I use it for my cable modem to protect it from power glitches and insure it stays on. Any modem or cable box that plugs into a regular wall outlet will work with this. The power draw is low for those boxes so this model is perfect.

QuestionWe have an adjustable bed with a power supply module which states 0.1w standby power draw, also states 120V input @ 1.2 A when actuated. How long might this APC unit be expected to supply the standby power before being able to allow the bed to be lowered?
Asked 8 years ago by willitwork.
- Answer Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately we don't recommend using our BackUPS units with a motorized load. One potential issue is the inrush current draw for a motor can easily overload a BackUPS unit. BackUPS are ideal for computer equipment and may result in the erratic behavior when connected to a motor. To protect this type of equipment, APC recommends first determining the appropriate size UPS for the motor load in question and ensure the UPS is large enough to handle the start-up inrush current draw of the motor. Secondly, select a UPS which outputs a pure sine wave when on battery, such as a Smart-UPS.
