APC UPS 1500VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup

These are great to have to keep your system running during a crucial moment, imagine you have been working on a document for the last 3 hours and you forgot to save it along the way, and that power outage hits and poof.... with the backup time you have time to save and close it all up.

Pro tip as your friendly IT professional: Get one of these for your networking equipment ONLY. Then you'll be able to use your laptop for hours and hours and hours. My firewall/router & 1 AP node & fiber modem pulls about 50 watts. So this size backup will keep that equipment going for many many hours.

Great unit. That's a great idea to have during the winter when storms hit cutting power.

[TylerStartz]

Found one of these today used for $10! Battery seems okay also, but even with a replacement down the line, it will still be worth it! Was able to use this to replace a TrippLite in my homelab, and move the other one to another area. Very impressed so far!

I just purchased a APC BR1500MS2, the letter S is important in this model number that means it is a pure sine wave unit. Although I trust APC we put an oscilloscope on the battery backup outlet and of course it was a true sine wave. Purchasing a unit with a modified sine wave is like feeding your pet bad pet food. I have very expensive equipment and only feed it a true sine wave. This S unit runs about $50 more than the other ones, I don't know why manufacturers are still making these with modified sine wave units, too many problems and can damage equipment.

I got security camera system that I want to continue recording if hit by a hurricane this weekend in Corpus Christi, TX. What is the best idea for recording for a few hours and not 5 min?? Will this work? are there additional battery pack I can connect to it?

[Reapertips]

thank you for such a straight forward and well presented video!

[aLatios]

When it gets an error or something or the battery disconnects, does it still pass thru power to the ports?

[clewis]

Do you know if anyway you can use power Chute software to shut down two computers?

I have had seven of these exact units fail in the past 18 months. Apc used to be the go to battery back up for me. But they have failed me so often as of late, and not taken responsibility for the issues, that I need to find a better built backup that will actually last. Years, not weeks. I am so disgusted with these clowns.

[MrTacoMan]

That's why mine wasn't working didn't realize you have to plugin the battery

[KuntalGhosh]

It's 2022, apc should sell all of these ups's with Lifepo4 battery.
I have upgraded mine from leadacid to Lifepo4 and the run time gain is phenomenal. 12ah Lifepo4 has similar run time to 28ah leadacid cus the leadacid has self discharge and suffers from peukert effect in fast discharge conditions.

Wow, the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds like an amazing backup power solution for outdoor enthusiasts like us! With its massive capacity, fast recharging, waterproof technology, and versatile sockets, it's definitely worth considering. Thanks for sharing this recommendation!

Can I have stuff plugged in to it if I haven’t let it charged yet?

[FloraNovax]

So do you plug in the APC to the wall, and then plug your devices into that?
I’m mostly looking for a safety net for power outages. Will this help?

[savielelcoquitufino]

Hello how to replace the battery can u do a video of how disconnect the black wire

[stevefpv]

Assuming you have it set to preserve battery shutdown after 5 minutes and your server bios AC state is set to 'Always On' or 'Last State' (dunno if relevant but just to be conscise).
Also assuming you have the network cable of your server pass through the APC.
Power came back (I have an independent way of knowing when power grid goes down and comes back up again) and I wanted to Wake On Lan Server 1 hour later which worked before installing the APC, but now it doesn't anymore and the office is 45 mins away....😑
What do I need to change to get Wake on Lan to work again?

[BigEightiesNewWave]

Not pure sine-wave, very close but is LINE-INTERACTIVE.

[chasen]

Do you have to adjust the unit sensitivity? Or just plug it in and the electronics you want protected and ride from there.

Don't have a good experience. I purchased five or six of them, only one working now

[alonsovilca]

I can’t see the “battery on” on my screen. They cut the lights for one second and everything turned off. Any ideas?
