QuestionIs this a true sine wave, or pure sine wave UPS? Or is this one of the other types?
Asked 7 years ago by jefferson970.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. This unit would be a pure sine wave while online but it would have a step approximated sine wave while on battery. If you need a completely pure sine wave UPS you may want to consider our BR1500MS which would be a pure sine wave on and off battery.

QuestionWhere can i find a replacement battery for this UPS? The APC website does not even list this Model: BN1500M2. I can not even find this model anywhere for a replacement battery.
Asked 7 years ago by Battery.
- Answer Thank you for inquiry. The replacement battery for the BN1500M2 is an APCRBC161. It likely isn't showing up anymore because the unit is new product family and shouldn't need a battery replacement. If you have purchased this unit and it is showing that the battery need replaced please reach out to an APCbySchneider support team since this unit would come with a 3 year warranty on it.

QuestionHow much can it last with 2 computers and 2 monitors?
Asked 6 years ago by Question.
- Answer Thank you for your interest in our products. The runtime would depend on how much power the computers and monitor draw. If they drew around 450 watts together it would bring the runtime to about 10 minutes. If the power draw is lower than the runtime will higher and if the power draw is higher the runtime will be shorter. You would just want to make sure that the computers don't draw over 900 watts of power so the UPS doesn't become overload.

QuestionWill this work to help clean power from a portable generator to a entertainment center.
Asked 5 years ago by Bhuels.
- Answer Thank you for your interest in our products. It would clean up the power coming from the generator but you may need to drop the sensitivity on the UPS down to low so it doesn't stay on battery the entire time while the generator is running. Sometimes if the generator power is too dirty it will keep the UPS on battery.

QuestionHow many minutes up time when power goes out
Asked 7 years ago by Joe.
- Answer Depends on what you have hooked up, My home network equipment (a couple switches and an AP) can run on one of these for over 100min. If I have my Dell workstation running (8700k/1080ti) it has 28-38min.

QuestionIf a thief was to flip the main switch on my breaker and shut off power to the whole house, would this keep my internet and wifi working? My security camera need uninterrupted wifi to work. Would the internet get interrupted when the breaker was flipped?
Asked 3 years ago by David.
- Answer The short answer is yes however, this assumes that your security cams are battery powered and all of your network equipment is on the UPS. And, depending on the amount of equipment that is attached to the UPS and their power draw, the UPS will operate for a finite amount of time and shut down after the UPS batteries are depleted. These are really designed to give you, in a power outage, the time and ability, to shut down your computer systems attached. If, having a thief shut down your main breaker is a concern, the cheapest and, most effective means to give you some piece of mind, would to put a decent padlock on your breaker box as most have some way to put a lock on them.

QuestionHow long with this run something that draws approx. 400 watts? I'm asking because a similar model was recommended for pellet stoves. Thanks
Asked 6 years ago by BaltimoreAce.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. Usually we don't recommend motorized loads connected to our UPS. At 400 watts it would provide around 13 minutes of runtime.

QuestionCan I plug my Smart TV and watch TV?
Asked 5 years ago by Kendra956.
- Answer Yes, you can. I am using this on a 55 Inch Sony and the Dish DVR Box. When then power goes out the UPS starts beeping but the devices continue to operate. There is a mute button on the front of the UPS that has to be pushed to silence the beep. I have not tested the duration of the run time but it ran just fine for about 10 minutes a few weeks ago when we lost power. There is a run time estimator on the front screen. For my setup it shows 33 minutes of runtime.

QuestionCan this unit be put in a structured media box where all the cat cables are located or does it have to be in a well ventilated area.
Asked 2 years ago by Gizmo.
- Answer The unit is designed in the temperature range of 32…104 °F according to the company's website. I would suggest keeping it well ventilated as it could produce a bit of heat when running on the battery.

QuestionDoes this unit have a way to disable any audible alert? We lose power often and anytime this unit switches on, the long constant audible alert drives my dog crazy. No way to shut if off unless manually press mute. Not good if not home.
Asked 5 years ago by RichardNJ.
- Answer Thank you for your inquiry. To mute the unit you would hold the mute button on the unit for 2s till you see the mute icon on the UPS. When it is muted it should have a cross through the speaker icon.This should mute all alarms on the unit. I would double check though if the alarm goes off again to make sure there isn't any other alarms on the unit besides the on battery alarm. If there is other alarms on the unit please reach out to an APCbySchneider support team for further assistance. We offer email and chat services through our support site.
