QuestionHow long could this run a laptop and wifi router? Do you plug your devices into this at all times so if the power goes out they stay on?
Asked 9 months ago by Josh.
- Answer Hi Josh, Thank you for your interest in our BN1500M2 ups. It is recommended to plug your wifi router to the UPS at all times so that you avoid losing connection. The laptop can be plugged in when it needs charging. For how long is the runtime it will depend on how many watts the wifi adapter and the charger of your laptop consumes please see runtime graph from the APC website https://www.apc.com/us/en/products-runtime-graph/BN1500M2/apc-backups-pro-1500va-tower-120v-10-nema-515r-outlets-lcd-1-usb-type-c-+-1-usb-type-a-ports/ If you have other questions At your earliest convenience please reach out to APCbySchneider to troubleshoot the issue further.

QuestionShould you cut power (turn the circuit breaker for the outlet) from time to time to run the battery down? Will it prolong the battery life? I only have an AT&T router on it. I hope to get 2.5 - 3 hours on of back-up. The load is only 1%.
Asked 11 months ago by DennisL.
- Answer I would just pull the plug to see how long the UPS would keep the router up. Circuit breakers can wear out mechanically and they are expensive to replace. I've had that happen. As to shutting it off, I would only let the battery percentage drop to 5% or so. Dead batteries sometimes remain dead. I've never had an issue leaving the UPS running all the time. That's what they do. But if you want to test it once a year, I don't believe that would cause any issues.

Questionwill it power a garage door opener
Asked 1 year ago by tjdj2.
- Answer It should, a typical garage door opener uses about 5 amps while operating. It doesn't operate for very long, so 5 amps should not be an issue. Also, surge protection will help protect the garage door opener in nasty storms.....

Questioni purchased one of these units a few years ago. It has been working fine until last night. It had a very high pitched sound and on the display flashing F01. i have disconnected all electrical loads and unplugged it but it still makes the sound.
Asked 1 year ago by Mike.
- Answer To turn sound off press and hold the button below the panel on the right. As for the quality - I just tried to buy one today and it didn't work, tried to replace it with a similar one but tested in a store first - didn't work either. Avoid!

QuestionRoughly how long would this unit support three connections: Wireless Router, Fiber Optic Modem and laptop -- I'm looking for a unit that would enable between one and two hours of operations on a zoom call, for example.
Asked 1 year ago by JPLIND.
- Answer depends on the combined wattage that all devices draw. I just did a test and with a desktop, one display and a network switch drawing close to 100W it told me it had a little over an hour battery power.

QuestionI have an older house so the fuse that is in my breaker box is only 10 amps does this draw more than 10 amps?
Asked 1 year ago by LofiTokyo.
- Answer The wattage in the specs (900W) would imply not. with one desktop computer, 2 monitors and some other devices my draw is 100W so only about 1A.

QuestionDo you need to plug the unit in and let it charge up before using it? If so how long?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer For a Back-UPS Pro to charge properly, it's generally recommended to leave it plugged in for at least 8 to 12 hours after initial setup. This allows the internal batteries to reach a full charge, ensuring optimal performance. However, it’s a good practice to keep the UPS plugged in continuously, as this allows the battery to maintain a full charge and be ready for any power interruptions.
