Do Not Overbuy

Don't overbuy, check your needs against the rating.
One thing I did not know, these Battery only last 3-5 years. And, usually, it's cheaper to buy new than replace just the batteries. Well, I had a much bigger unit that cost twice as much. When it failed (due to age), I looked into replacement. Then I started to consider just how much power I really needed, and I was happy to see that this unit was more than sufficient for my home PC setup.
So, even if it only lasts 3-5 years, it was a better purchase than the much larger, unnecessary unit.
Finally, there is a new app that is included, that will monitor your units health. I did not have that on the prior unit.

Great Battery Back up UPS

If you just spent a slew of money on PC and peripheral hardware, the $100 you will spend on this UPS is well worth it. I live in an area where the power may brown out in during a summer storm, this UPS will protect all of your hardware. It has multiple surge protected and battery back up outlets, plus multiple surge protected only outlets. 6 of each for a total of 12 plug ins. In addition there are two additional protected USB ports. Enough power for your entire system from a single wall outlet. You will want to unpack this peripheral first as you will need to fully charge the back up battery for about 8 hours.

Great Battery Backup For the Price

The battery in my old unit finally died. The unit worked just fine, but after serving me for 7 years, I was ready for a backup battery that would not beep every time the power went out (I know when my power is out, thanks!). Since I live in an area where this happens more than usual, this was a must.
Yes, this battery backup allows you to disable the beep. I didn't need to have a battery with this much capacity, but for the price, it's a fantastic price. It keeps my light gaming machine, along with 2 monitors, my router, and cable modem running for 20-25 minutes.
I also really appreciate the layout of the plugs on this one. I am really surprised at the poor layout of the plugs on many of these units. It is actually the reason I chose this over a less expensive option. Many computer peripherals have those big bricks for their power plugs, and so many of these backup batteries are designed so you can't use all of them if you have a device with a "brick".
Highly recommend this unit. Just make sure to keep the software up-to-date. At one point, the battery stopped communicating with the computer, causing a hard shut-off during a power outage. I contacted CyberPower Support, and they advised me that there was an upgrade to the software, which fixed the problem.

Great Backup

Works better than I expected. The set up was easy and the program you download to monitor the battery health was simple to use. What surprised me was on the first power outage, it popped up a notification to my PC exactly how long the battery would last while running everything currently plugged in and that changed as I started shutting things off. I was able to leave my Wifi router plugged in and it ran through the 45 minute blackout, so my phone was still connected throughout.

I purchased this item because of it's size and mainly the number of outlets available. We have lost house power twice and my computer never blinked. Works great and a good value for the money. I would recommend this back-up. I have another one that I use on my TV. works great there also.

Second ups from the same brand. My old one is basically identical except for the USB ports and that one is still chugging on it’s original internal battery. I got this for an additional setup I wanted to make sure had a stable clean safe hook up. I like that it came with the usb cord you will need to connect to the pc, I went out and ordered a usb c to usb b connector from a different store to connect mine and it works perfectly fine, software was a breeze to install and set up. I do live in an area with frequent lightning strikes and pretty massive thunderstorms overall. So this new ups is for the pc, and my old one is now for the audio/everything else. Works great as of day one, plus the USB ports are a real quality of life improvement from my old one!! FYI I did buy this on The daily sale, I didn’t need the largest size, but it was on sale!

UPS for Audio and Video

This in conjunction with another ups works together to supply consistent power to my Video system. That is A extra UPS for my TV and a Cyber power for the audio.
The video (TV) does not need as much power as the Audio .
The Tv needs less than the audio . I had a ups i didn't use for the video and the new for the audio. My systems are old but the ups's give them a bost and I am ready if I get a new 65" tv.

I have had CyberPower battery back-up systems in the past that I really like. So when an OLD battery back-up needed replacement (more problems than just a dead battery), I ordered another CyberPower system. As usual, it is working great! We have reliable electricity except it occasionally has a momentary power loss. When the lights go out for a second or two, no big problem but when my computer or other electronics lose power, BIG PROBLEM. CyberPower takes care of that problem.

I bought this to replace an old surge protector which had been malfunctioning. This is an upgrade with battery backup and numerous plug ins as well as spot to plug in cell phone cords/usb devices. Well worth the price, and the security knowing I can keep devices charged up even in a power outage.

Back-up System to stop cable DVR/Controller Reboot

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased this because whenever there was an electric glitch where it went out and back on right away the cable controller/DVR would reset and go through the reboot procedure which always seemed to happen when my wife was watching TV and thus part of what she was watching was missed. This resolved my problem by plugging in the TV, cable controller, and cable modem so small glitches don't affect it anymore. I have had other CyberPower UPS's and they are reliable and a good value for the money.

This is my 3rd experience with power supply with surge protectors and battery backup. My expectation is plug it in, and plug my electronics into the power supply. Pretty basic.
I purchased one from Amazon and it was DOA. I am purchasing local again to avoid getting old/outdated items from online sources which are getting more difficult to return.
This unit works as advertised.

My first CyberPower UPS. I purchased this as an upgrade to a smaller UPS when I came upon it in a Best Buy store at the lowest price around. 12 power outlets and 4 of those outlets are transformer spaced! 2 USB charging ports, 1 USB communication port. 3 yr. warranty. The most UPS for the price at the time I bought it!!

I like this device it could keep my small desktop computer on for about 50 minutes!
The only problem is it starts beeping and it was keep beeping for the whole duration of 50 minutes, which was annoying.
