Pulling the Plug at Full Load! APC Back-UPS Pro 1500

We take a look at my new uninterruptible power supply. I load it up and see if it can keep me running at over 700 watts of load when we pull the power!

I ran a self calibration at almost 700W load (2011 APC Smart-UPS 1000) with fresh batteries. It lasted 6 mimues.

I just got this thing from Goodwill for $28. Unfortunately, the battery is drained so I decided to just buy it and let it charge up. Hopefully the battery is still good (it's not throwing an error for bad battery right now) so I don't have to spend $110 on a replacement battery.

Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Thank you! This was a much needed review for me.

Thanks, I just got one for 5$ without batteries, just will have to test it out.

so i have an ecoflow river 2 pro, and i can be offgrid for like 2 and a half hours whilst i play GTA 5 on pc, for me, thats excellent, 800 watts continuous power will last just under 1 hour, so, if the electricity would have gone out, i will have like 7 to maybe 9 hours of me playing games or something like that, if i do run a laptop off the ecoflow river 2 pro, then i will most likely have like 17 watts giving me like 20 hours of runtime THATS more than enough for me to run games and even watch videos. i will be getting a bluetti as well. so tbh, im able to actually get like 7 hours just for running my whole entire setup just at idle, full load of 300 watts for my pc AND my ps5, which is like 600 watts will last like 1 hour or so. i also have an APC battery backup as well, which is giving me another 30 or so minutes. the ecoflow river 2 pro was WELL worth the money. paid like 600 or so something dollars. so i should recommend getting that too, if you plan on doing things. im just saying, it may be worth your while to say the least..

Where did you get that "The Future is Black" sign or whatever it is behind your monitor?

[internetisinteresting]

by what i´m seen on the UPS led panel battery is fully charged but load is at 25% so you aren't fully testing the APC 1500 Pro unit

I had recenly buy the BR1500G and the battery extension BR24BPG and they can run about 4hours and when I play intense video game less than 1h30min but when the power shut down I close my game and I do other thing more simple on the pc.


Pretty good unit, for people did they make noise yes it is true more when is on the battery but is very not lound at all.
Apc sell two ''type'' of ups the BR1500G can have the battery back up extension and the BX1500M don't have the extension capability and don't try to mod it because all the wire inside are not made to handle a battery extension...



My spect:


I7-6700k
1070 GTX *8G
corsair Hx750 power supply
3x 4K 28'' screen
And my audio gear on it


Hope I will help some people there :P

Hey man, you can get that info to display all of the time if you hold the info button for 5 seconds =)
Also, that powerchute software is horrible. The service can randomly get into a glitched state that ends up using 5%-10% of you CPU times, and will remain this way until you either kill the service or reboot the system.

[SHWTM]

Can you use this as back up battery for phone only lol how long would last. How often battery gotta get changed

[andyjack]

nice Ups nice video but need 12 volt deep cycle battery 100 amp 900 watts run you more longer

[samiseyhan]

i have the same ups, can i ask something, what is the name of the device on powerchute software at technical data tab? because mine is stated back-ups rs 1500g instead of br1500g...

[melvinmora]

Hi did you have the part number for the cable to use the PowerChute?

[psyfertech]

wow that power chute thing is pretty cool i had no idea it showed that much information sucks i still run vista on my desktop which i barely use any more and i dont think it is compatible

[talhasohail]

Which UPS would you prefer for my 500W PSU and I also want to connect my 22 Inch LED Monitor, your reply will be appreciated
I need Battery backup and surge protection at the same time.

[RakeshD]

[mikenicolosi]

[fox_oh]

My APC Backup Just keeps the fan running for about 3 hours after the house power kicks back on
