Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up this unit in a pinch to replace and APC that went nuts. So far, so good.

This thing is a beast. I've got it backing up a 4 GPU mining rig and the PC has been running perfect since day one. Piece of mind know power issues wont damage a $5k PC and can keep up with the wattage demand.

We have multiple brownouts. This unit is a workhorse and protects our valuable electronics.

My PC plays an important role in my life. I am either working or playing on it. And PCs have become more and more expensive. If I have to replace my graphic card it can easily cost over 1,000 dollars. Computer memory is at an all time high price today at the end of 2025. The computer industry is growing AI technology and expanding everywhere it can. Tariffs are on and off and it's impossible to know where prices are headed or what shortages might happen next. Here in Southeast Texas the power grid has become more unreliable over the last few years. It has now become common to lose power during storms. I recently updated my gaming graphic card. My current UPS was unable to provide the power to run it while gaming and I was crashing to the desktop. I reduced the load and ran just the computer from a separate wall outlet and it became stable again. Getting a good UPS backup has always been a good idea but now it takes on a greater importance. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA is able to provide the power to run my gaming computer. It has a great build quality and replacement batteries are relatively easy to get. The display is easy to read and provides several pages of information regarding the quality of the incoming electrical signal and battery status. It includes both type A and C USB charging ports. There are six battery backup outlets and four surge only outlets. Other surge protection includes network and coax connections. The unit has a wiring fault protection indicator and does Automatic Voltage Regulation of the incoming signal. There is a $250,000 lifetime connected equipment protection policy and free technical support. The APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA also comes with a 3-year warranty. The PowerChute software you can download is quite comprehensive. It runs in a browser window and required me to setup a local account and password. Also you can find several How-to Videos online that can be helpful. I didn’t see the need to change any of the default settings. Some of the options are details on the UPS status, configurations for logging and email notifications, shutdown settings, energy management and event logging. The APC box lists up to 150 minutes of runtime. I would assume that is a max runtime since every system and what is connected will be unique. At my desktop the UPS reports 29 minutes of backup runtime. At full load while gaming and that time is reduced to 9 minutes of runtime. My system has a 13th Gen Intel i7 with a Nvidia 5080 graphic card. Setup of the UPS was easy and you have to access the battery to connect it before use. Overall this has been a pleasant update and I have already saved my progress in a Borderlands 4 boss battle that I thought would never end when the power flashed off and on. I do recommend work from home and gamers have a UPS backup system like the APC - Back-UPS Pro 1050VA. It's a small cost for the protection it provides and APC is a leader in the products they provide.

This battery backup is great! The only thing I can say is that it does not handle much amperage. Once it goes to battery the screen will go crazy and shut off if there is more than just my computer plugged in. I am HOPING mine isn't going bad.

Amazing product and worth every penny! Give me peace of mind knowing that my computer is safe from bad storms and weather.

So far this unit is working as expected this is the 3rd APC unit I have had the last one lasted about 10 years .I would recommend this Brand unit and as long as they work and last like my old ones I will keep getting this brand.

Not sure what to say about this, not really something you play with, but certainly something you need on your computers or home TV

I needed a UPS to power my computer in case something bad happens and this UPS fits the bill. It’s quite hefty but I haven’t had any issues with it and it powers my devices even when the power goes out.

I have a gaming system with multiple monitors and needed the extra backup power that this UPS offers. I have used APC for backup power supplies before and I am satisfied with their products.

Perfect to backup power to my internet router, We have power issues when it is windy.

Performed perfectly out of the box. Software; downloaded without a hitch.

Plug and play data cable—did not have to install any extra drivers/kexts on mac.

I needed this. I didn't want it, but I needed it. Hard to review something that you buy for emergencies. Haven't had one yet, but this item gives me piece of mind.

Found out that the dead batteries recharged itself. Didn’t need a new UPS.

Has saved me from having any more corrupted files from a power outage again. Was well worth the purchase

This back up has operated flawlessly. It gives plenty of time to power down my pc. This unit works very well, provides stable power to the computer during electric power loss or brown outs I can safely shut down with no worries.

Using on aquarium for power brown outs. Has exceptional run time for my application.

Well worth the money if you want to protect your computer from surges & power flux. AVR is a must with these.

Could NOT get the case cover back on after connecting the cables inside per the instructions!!! I even called my neighbor over to help: he couldn't do it either. I have the cover held on with tape. I have the issue listed on my "to do" list the next time I have the Geek Squad over to work on my computer.
