    Got this on sale and I live in a place where my power goes out regularly so this has saved my new gaming pc from being abruptly shut down on at least 7 occasions already

    I wish I could give it 0 stars. It beeps randomly, incessantly with no info on the device. Its huge and heavy for not much capacity, certainly can't support 6 things plugged in LOL. Pathetic useless paperweight. I will be returning it

    A good UPS with basic features. It does have a loud beep that cannot be turned off when there is loss of power. Otherwise perfect for small devices and a computer.

      Hi Enzo,
      Thanks for your feedback on the CyberPower 450VA Battery Back-Up System. I’m sorry to hear it only lasted about 5 minutes with your PC, that’s understandably frustrating. This model is designed for basic systems and may not provide extended runtime for higher-powered setups.

      We’d be happy to help assess your power needs and recommend a UPS that better fits your system. Please reach out to our support team at 1-877-297-6937 or submit a ticket at https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/support/submit-a-support-ticket/. We’re here to help! CyberPower

    It is okay . I had one in the past and needed to replace it . It is readily available is why I purchased another one even though half of my old on broke and doesnt work anymore after about a year and a half . The half that works doesnt have battery backup . It should have lasted longer .

    Will not even keep my Starlink up and running thru seconds power surges. This has been since day one! I would not recommend this. It was only purchased to keep the Starlink up and running so it does not reset.

      Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the issues you've encountered with your CyberPower 450VA Battery Back-Up System.

      This model provides simulated sine wave output, which can sometimes cause issues with sensitive electronics like Starlink. While the UPS's 260W capacity should generally be sufficient for Starlink's 100W usage, the simulated sine wave could be causing the resets during power surges.

      For better compatibility with devices like Starlink, we recommend considering a UPS with pure sine wave output. CyberPower
