    Voltage Regulation, A few minutes to save and exit

    I purchased this APC-UPS Pro 1500M2 for a recent gaming PC build. The home does not have the best electrical and the weather can render these $1000 devices inoperable. This backup comes with a LAN pass thru which is good because the phone lines love to transmit lightning bolts. Voltage regulation is also a good reason to purchase this backup. Currently it reflects the PC is using 63 watts for a runtime of 93 mins if the AC power turns off. I have had two events where the power went off and the backup worked. I had an issue where the unit wouldn't turn on... I called the Schneider Electric APC support line. The woman walked me thru basically discharging the unit by disconnecting and removing the battery. Hold the power button for 20 seconds approximately, reinstall he battery and BACK IN BUSINESS!!!! The customer support at Schneider Electric is GREAT, be sure to register your product.

    APC has always in my opinion have had great back up battery packs. This one is able to power my monitor, computer, and some other appliances and does usb charging for phones in the front. That is something that I definitely enjoy and holds a charge for a long period of time.

    This thing is just awesome! It's winter and it's windy here in the midwest, so my internet kept flashing on and off and I was dropping business calls. I ran down to home depot and bought this guy! I run a large print, 3x27" monitors, an IPad pro, macbook, XBOX Series X, Router, and PC Speakers, and it handles the power perfectly with gobs of wattage headroom to spare. I run at about a steady 172 (without the XBOX or Printer actively running) and about 500 watts if it was all running at once. Best part... no more internet shutting off... granted I run T-Mobile 5g as my ISP (so I never lose service now that I resolved the power issue)

    So far so good for the month I have it in use. In the month had many electric fluctuations due to all the dead ash trees falling and it has functioned flawlessly.

    A few months in and this thing has saved my rear more times than I can count. It kept my power hungry system up long enough for me to finish a render that would have corrupted otherwise during a short power outage.

    Great Backup, has plenty of outlets for hooking up a single workstation. Provides a couple hours of battery for a desktop and 2 monitors. Also protects against power flickers.

    Has been a very reliable product. Perfect for our small office needs. We have had power outages and this manages to keep our equipment alive until it returns sometime for much longer than it states.

    Our battery backup died and we needed one for all our electronics and gadgets in the house. This one works beautifully and we are very happy with the purchase. The Best Buy sales people were very helpful in answering our questions. Thank you!

    This is an upgrade from previous APC units. Replacement for a smaller units became necessary as our power requirements have increased . This maybe overkill, but now we are protected against even longer outages.

    problems with battery load tolerance

    easy setup. only problem is I kept getting error messages that the system was overloaded and I should disconnect something despite the fact that the display showed load as quite modest. Once I disconnected a printer it works fine. The printer is now connected to surge protection only. I am surprised at the disconnect between the display and what the machine did and also surprised that the APC battery could not handle a router, desktop computer, printer and modem.

      Posted .

      Thank you for taking the time to review our UPS. Unfortunately printers can pull a bit more power than expected which is why we don't recommend connecting to the battery side of the UPS. Usually we recommend connecting it on it's own circuit. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes. APC

    APC. Truly the leader in back-up units. I have tried several others in an attempt to save on cost, but APC truly has the quality and durability you want to back up the important functions!
