Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Power Saving Back-UPS XS 1500's long battery life, strong performance, and ease of use. Many also appreciate its surge protection capabilities and the competitive price point. While some users noted the weight and occasional fan noise, the positive feedback on key features outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    Seems to be functioning ok for the battery backup. Had the data port connected to my computer. Computer was running slow and locking up - disconnected from the port and problems went away.

    Super Unit: APC 1500VA Battery Back-Up System

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a very nice and sleek unit that goes well with modern equipment, even in the living room for a home theater. It has a great display interface and is both quiet and fully functional. You can interface it to your computer or server using a USB connection and fully monitor the unit. It's already saved me from a power glitch. Highly recommended.

    Very Bad Product Stay AWAY

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this on sale, got it home turned it on and immediately got a battery failed/was failing message. Returned to store for exchange. Got a second one and just like the first within the first 10 minutes of operation it was giving me a battery failing/failed message and the power button was smashed in right out of the box. I returned and bought a different model from another retail store. After doing some research online I found that many people are having bad experience with this model and that the company discontinued this model a very short time after they introduced it to the market

      Posted .

      Thank you for taking the time to review our BX1500G. We appreciate the feedback and were sorry to hear about this issue. We recommend charging the UPS for approximately 16 hours before placing into service. The replace battery indicator may have come on simply because the battery was not fully charged out of the box. These units also come with a 3 year manufacturer's warranty and free technical support. The BX1500G has not been discontinued and is still available for purchase. APC

    Very Nice APC

    My wife's old APC died. She runs a quad core with 3 monitors. This APC has it all covered with power to spare. I also like the auto shut-off feature. I think that is working out well for saving some dollars!

    Excellent Unit

    This is not a battery backup unit for the folks looking for entry level protection. However, if you're looking for solid workmanship, a feature-packed unit and software that is easy to configure, this unit is for you.

    Shutting down randomly after new APC batteries

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I currently own 7 APC UPS's. Three of them are this particular top-end model. I use two for my main system. The CPU box is on one and my three monitors are on the other one. They worked fine for about 8 months then started saying the batteries needed to be replaced. So, I ordered and replaced the batteries, which cost a fortune. Within a week, all three units started shutting off randomly. I'm working on something and boom - they just turn off, which has already cost me my primary raid array. I had to replace the drives because the frequent power-off during drive access ruined them. I used to swear by APC power products, but I'll never buy them again. First, they bend you over on the replacement battery prices. Second, they just don't work after the batteries are replaced. I've spent literally thousands on APC units which no longer work, and I'm done. I've used them for decades. I don't know what happened to them, but I don't trust them anymore. BUYER BEWARE!!
