The CyberPower BRG1500AVRLCD2 UPS Intelligent LCD Seriesfrom CyberPower BRG1500AVRLCD2 UPS Intelligent LCD Seriesis a mini-tower device with line-interactive topology that provides battery backup and surge protection via sine and simulated sine waveform output for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems. It provides an output capacity of 1500 VA / 900W and features an input voltage of 120 VAC at 57-63 Hz using Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to help correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power. This Smart App UPS has an integrated LCD panel that displays immediate, detailed information about its battery and power conditions to alert users to potential problems before they can affect critical equipment and cause downtime.

When running with a full load, this UPS can power devices for up to 2 minutes and when running with a half load, it can power devices for up to 12 minutes. It can be recharged in eight hours and offers 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets, six of which are equipped with battery and surge protection and six of which only offer surge protection. The UPS can absorb up to 1500 joules to keep your devices safe against surges and spikes. Other connections offered are a NEMA 5-15P input plug with a 6' cord, serial, USB Type-B, an RJ45 input and output with data line protection, 2.4A USB-A charging port, and a USB-C charging port with 18W of power delivery.

This power supply is ENERGY STAR qualified with GreenPower UPS Bypass technology for reducing energy consumption and heat buildup to help lower energy costs. Included with the power supply is the PowerPanel Personal Edition UPS management software, which requires minimal system resources and monitors the status of the UPS to ensure it is working properly. When a power outage does occur, this software automatically saves open files and powers down the system into hibernation mode. When your PC is running in hibernation mode, the power supply will offer a longer runtime. This CyberPower UPS provides a lifetime connected equipment guarantee of up to $500,000.

Q: 1. What is the best way to store this UPS? I will be using it as a backup.

A: Here are its Environmental needs: Operating Temperature 32 to 104°F / 0 to 40°C Operating Humidity 0 to 90% Storage Temperature 5 to 113°F / -15 to 45°C Operating Altitude 10,000' / 3000 m Storage Altitude 50,000' / 15,000 m

Q: 2. I have read that some of the newer power efficient computers cannot run on a backup unit that is simulated sine wave like this one and must have pure sine wave backup units. Do you know if this will work with the newer power efficient computers? Thanks in advance for your help - Ted

A: I built my last computer about 9 months ago and I have not run into that problem. The way I understand it is you need a real sine-wave supply on sensitive electronics so I have one on my HD TV but all the rest of my computers (7 at last count) run on units like this. I have 5 of these units and they work great.

Q: 3. My child keeps pushing all the buttons below my desk. How easy is it to shut this thing down? Is it one click or there is a hold time before it shuts? Thank you.

A: It takes a single push of the button to shut it down.

Q: 4. I have 220V, so is a different versin available? Or do you need a transformer

A: This unit doesn't support 220V and we don't have a transformer that will work with this UPS.

Q: 5. Can this UPS be placed on it's side in a cabinet?

A: Yes, the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD Series UPS can work on its side.

Q: 6. Can this unit support a hub with 3 external drives (10tb, 8 tb, 8tb), a mouse, a scanner, and a Wacom table with surge/battery?

A: The CyberPower BRG1500AVRLCD Intelligent LCD Series Uninterruptible Power Supply BH #CY1500AVRLCD supports up to 900w. The items you listed should be far under that load capacity.

Q: 7. Can this be layed on its side?

A: Yes you can, as long as the air vents on the sides of unit are not covered.

Q: 8. I see Windows compatibility but how about Mac compatibility?

A: Yes, it is Mac compatible and compatible with the two NAS servers that I use.

Q: 9. How often does the battery need to be replaced? ?

A: That will depend on how much you use the battery. With normal use, most likely 3-5 years but it could be sooner than that if you used the battery more frequently.

Q: 10. How often does the battery need to be replaced?

A: Cyberpower does not provide that information as it can vary. UPS batteries require replacement when no longer capable and if the UPS is called upon more often than normal to keep devices powered, the battery will be spent faster.
