Customer Ratings & Reviews

Simply the best. you can not beat APC for quality and ease of set up. They are the only UPS manufacturer that tests (and includes results of) their UPS before packaging.

The APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA is not a sine wave unit but my PFC power supply is working with it just fine. You status display provides all of the state information you could want to see with a button that cycles the display. Using a provided USB cable I had no problem connecting my Linux desktop to monitor the UPS with the NUT daemon. Overall my experience has been solid.

Always been a big fan of APC products and this UPS didn't disappoint. Plenty of UPS power receptacles and standard power (non-battery) to plug in a lamp or any non PC items. USB C connection in the front is convenient for a mobile device and can't say enough about the LCD readout. Big upgrade from my previous UPS. UPSes usually are the sexiest piece of equipment in a computer setup, but living anywhere with electrical storms causing power outages it sure comes in handy for a clean, graceful shutdown.

These are great batteries. I use them to protect the TV's and other electronics especially during the heavy storm season. they tuck away out of site. This is my 6th, the other 5 are working just fine. They protect the more expensive big-ticket items especially during the brownouts and blackouts we've frequently had because of tree's falling.

This is my 8th or 9th UPS (I buy them for my offices). It is easy to use and provides a long runtime for my current setup.

Used for a backup for our wifi room. Works well. Weve had power outage issues and this keeps us up during an outage.

We have these deployed in our small office of fifteen workstations, and we recently had a lightning strike directly hit a wing of the building, and every computer connected to one of these survived (the one that didn't have one of these was fried). Of note, we used the ethernet passthrough surge protection as well, and since we also got a surge through the ethernet wires this proved critical to our computer surviving. Using this feature is a must for any office environment.

I am not an expert on back-ups, so I will abstain from giving a potentially flawed "in depth" review and stick with a more simplistic experience. For a while I have been worried about power outages, as leading up to this purchase, we lost power 5 times in 3 months. A few times a year can be expected with high winds, bad snow storms and stuff like this, but this many in a short amount of time was nothing I had ever seen around here. The final straw for me was after a 30 second outage, it took me 20 minutes to get my computer running right. Monitors not displaying and other things needing to be discharged before working correctly, and with a new 3070 card in my PC, the last thing I needed was something dying in my PC. Since purchasing this, I have had only 1 outage, however that was when I was sleeping (the unit displaying an event had occurred) so I don't know (for now) how this will handle an outage while in operation, but the peace of mind feels great. That and being able to update my BIOS without worrying about it.

Super great. Keeps my DIT field cart running between location moves with enough time for gaffers to run me some lighting rope. Display very useful and front charging ports are wonderful for keeping everyone's iPhones topped off.

I picked up two of these just before the blizzard hit Austin, and they saved my butt. Between the two of them, they kept my Chinese water dragon's ceramic heater running for enough time to get a temporary tank prepared and get him to a boarding facility. Now that the winter storm is over, one is staying on his tank until I can get a generator / APC Symmetra unit, and the other is powering the comms gear in my rack.

I use it for, gaming/prod pc and work. Quality is great, design is good time will tell how it holds up

As far as being a battery backup, look no further. Seamlessly converts from electrical power to battery power. Highly recommend.

Easy to setup. Nice in App to monitor load, power input, and use.

We deal with power outages frequently. And using our home computer network as our music and movie server can be a pain when that happens. Having added this power supply along with our previous one allows us to remain online (as long as the ISP isn't affected) even when the power is out. Neither supply has yet to run out even with hours long power outages. APC is a quality company. This is a quality product and is reasonably priced. Getting on sale was an added benefit!

Very reliable unit. I purchased 3 for my home. Lost power and I was operating for 4 hrs

Great price for quality. The battery time is better then it indicates. I run four monitors, a printer and cable modem and get about 2 hours of life when my power goes out.

so far so good. I love the display on it. It says I have approx 90 min with it on battery (No monitors)

Less than a week after we got this there was a massive wildfire near my home. I only had my modem plugged into this device at the time but it was very useful. Our power was knocked out just before the police evacuated my block. We were able to monitor our home from away using my ring camera via the modem that was still being powered by the APC. It lasted for almost an hour before running out of power. Then the emergency backup from ring took over and allowed us to catch images of our home using a ring emergency cell connection for the rest of our 1st night away before the ring battery power went out too (the smoke was too thick for the sunlight to get through to power the ring). We were very fortunate our home was not burned like so many others and being able to view our home still safe made it a little less difficult to get through that terrible night.

Reliable and easy to setup. Moved to APC after multiple cyberoower failures.

Even though I returned this battery back up, it wasn’t due to any bad experience! I open the box and it was way bigger than I had anticipated. My house is not that big and where I was going to need to put it it would not have worked for me. It appears to be a very nice unit and had I hooked it up. I’m sure I would’ve been totally satisfied with it. Instead of ordering online, I will probably go into the store and look at other smaller options.
