Let me get started by listing some of the pros and cons about this excellent UPS. Pros- -Well built, this unit looks like a million bucks just sitting there. -Very easy to use interface on the computer and on the LCD screen on the unit. -Very easy to setup, you just flip the batteries 180 degrees and plug it into the wall. -Top notch protection for all your valuable electronics. -Very friendly and knowledgeable customer service and staff. -Lots of outlets for up to 5 electronics you want to surge protect and have battery backup. -Protected outlets, wired LAN, and coaxial surge protection. -Has a dedicated USB to cable to run to your computer for status updates. -Extremely quiet operation, no noise at all unless the power is out and the batteries are on or the batteries are charging. Cons- -The outlets only have 1 outlet on each side that allows you to put the larger style power supply in, so if you have more than 1 wall wart like I did you have to buy some 1 foot extension cords to make everything fit. -You cant get 1 day shipping because there are batteries and your not aloud to ship batteries via air mail. This unit looks like a million bucks sitting in my living room running my home server. I was tempted to buy another unit that was slightly cheaper and by another company but when it comes to APC, you cant go wrong. The UPS is built of extremely hard plastic and polished metal making it hardy and aesthetically appealing, this isn't a UPS that you are going to want to hide from everyone because its so ugly. The LCD on the front has many features and can be turned off if you want to darken the room while you watch a movie or to save electricity. The LCD gives you information regarding how many minutes of run time it will give you when the batteries are running your equipment, how many power failures or brownouts there have been, how many hertz are going into the unit and how many are going out, how many volts are going in and how many are going out, warning lights, and energy saving mode lights. On the back of the unit you will find 10 plugs, 5 for surge protection and 5 for surge protection and battery backup. The only complaint I have is that there is only 1 plug on each side that lets you plug in those large power supplies. I had 3 of those and I had to buy some of those 1 foot long extension cords, but its no big deal they were cheap. Setup was a breeze, you just follow the simple instructions to take the bottom of the unit off and slip the batteries 180 degrees and plug it into the wall, my batteries came 100% fully charged. A bonus feature I thought was really cool is that the power supply for the UPS only takes up one wall outlet so that if you want you could plug something else into the same outlet if you needed too without having to use up a whole outlet for only one thing. This unit runs my home server which consists of a 24 port POE switch, 2 3Tb network drives, a Netgear N6300 router, and my ISP router. Hooked up to the router via USB I also have 2 2Tb hard drives for my POE security cameras. So if the power goes out or some scummy burglar decides he wants to rob my house and cuts my power off my security cameras, my internet, and my hard drives will all still run so that it can alert me via my phone and record everything onto the hard drives. Pretty smart right? I have all my equipment locked up in the Triplite server enclosure, so unless the burglar wants to rip if off the wall that its bolted to everything will be recorded and saved even if the power is out. The 24 Port switch that the UPS is connected to runs 6 POE cameras and everything I listed above and has a run time of between 45-60 minutes. I was told that If I get the battery pack for this it could double my run time, maybe sometime soon. Over all I am very satisfied with this UPS, and when I couldn't find the serial number and I called the customer support they were very friendly and helpful over the phone. Registering the device is a breeze they send you a piece of yellow paper with the website and a special code to put and there's no hassle, just put in the code and its registered. If your running a desktop off the UPS it has a dedicated USB cord to plug into your computer so that it can give you real time statistics and if the power goes out and the battery is running low it can automatically shut your computer down and save all your data. The Coaxial and LAN surge protection was a nice feature and lets you have peace of mind knowing that a surge wont blow out your cable box or all your precious networking equipment. The transition from AC power to battery backup power is flawless and there isn't a hiccup in any of the services that it powering, it's exactly like the power never went out. The fan does turn on when its on battery power to keep everything internally cool and when the power comes back on and the batteries are charging the fan stays on. People have complained about the fan noise, it's not as bad as they say and its worth saving thousands of dollars of equipment for some fan noise for a few hours. I hope that my review has helped you make a decision to buy this UPS, and if you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer them.

First let me say that I support computer networks as part of my professional career and we use a lot of these UPS units (both the 1000VA and the 1500VA models) for some years now. In our business environment we have mandated monthly generator tests (typically 30 minutes) and this means that we put these to the test because we install them in many locations that do not have generator coverage and they have to keep things running while the tests are conducted. I also use one of these in my home office that I purchased 4 years ago and did not need to replace the battery yet. I never turn off any of my home office equipment and while I sometimes find the microwave clock reset due to a power outage, the office equipment is up and running like nothing happened. So, although there are many reviews about these UPS devices, I will try to make my review useful for both models and I hope it is helpful to someone looking for a UPS and is confused with all the choices out there. How many VA you need: No one can give you a specific answer on that because most loads will be rated in Watts (you can find the wattage in the lapel or the manual of your "load") and that can mean different amount of VA depending on the type of load. The UPS is rated in VoltAmperes (VA) which does not help a whole lot for real life AC loads. There is a difference between VA and W depending on the phase angle and the type of load but I will not bore you with that. Generally, for inductive loads you can multiply the VA by 0.8 and get a safe number of how many Watts of load you can connect. In most cases you will not connect inductive loads like motors so if you go with the VA x 0.8 rule you cannot go wrong. To give you a real world example, I have a BR1000G (1000VA) UPS in my home office and I have connected 2 40" LED monitors, 1 65" LED Samsung TV and 2 desktop computers. The UPS displays 460 Watts of load and it translates that to 56% of total capacity. Don't forget that as you connect stuff to the UPS, you will be able to see the load level on its screen. It is also recommended not to use more than 70% of the load capacity constantly. Keeping the load at 70% or less of the UPS capacity, will prolong battery life and power duration during outages and also, will allow to withstand an added 30% of temporary spikes in power demand. Placement: You should be aware that these units will work great and live long as long as you do not install them in places where ambient temperature exceeds 75 degrees regularly. I have seen many fail after a few months and they were all installed in a closet or attic including one that I had inside a multimedia cabinet at my home. Any other unit my team and I has installed in an air conditioned area or just in an open space like an office, has worked for at least a couple of years without an issue and all we ever had to do was replace the batteries and get it back in service working like new. So, keep it in a cool place if possible and make sure it is standing up because it has bents from the bottom and top forcing hot air to escape and cool air to enter. User Interface: The user interface is very simple with only 3 buttons and can give you basic and advanced information if you need it. At default, the screen displays the line input voltage (typically 110V to 120V), a graph showing the load and a graph showing the battery charge level. Here is what else you can see on the display by pressing the menu button (left button on the top). 1) Event counter: Typically shows how many times the UPS had to switch to battery power. 2) Estimated run time in minutes. This depends on the load. The more stuff you connected to the UPS the less time it will provide power to them until the battery is depleted. 3) Current load in Watts. 4) Current load in percentage. 5) Output voltage 6) Output frequency The center button is the power on/off and it is not that easy to press because it does not extrude from its housing. To power off, you must hold it in for 2 seconds and to power on you must hold it for about half a second. There is also a silence button which is very useful because the beeping can drive you nuts when main power is out and it is using the batteries. Connecting your stuff: Note that as you look at the UPS from the back, only the left side outlets will remain powered during a power outage. The right side outlets (marked "Surge Only") are nothing more than line voltage outlets that have a surge protection circuit. For example, you should plug in your computer main unit and monitor on the left side outlets marked as "Battery Backup" and heavy loads like your laser printer on the right side marked "Surge Only". Keep in mind that the least load you plug in the "Battery Backup" outlets, the more time the batteries will be able to keep running on a single charge. There is also a Master outlet control function that you can select by holding the Menu button in for 2 seconds and calibrate it when holding it in for 6 seconds. What that does is to control power to the "Master Controlled" marked outlets depending on the load of the "Master" outlet. So if you wish, you can calibrate it so when your computer that is plugged in the "Master" outlet is off and does not draw any current, the UPS will also turn off power to the "Master Controlled" outlets. When you turn on your computer, the UPS will see the current drawn at the master outlet and will turn on power to the rest of the outlets. However, I should say here that I never needed to use this function and I am not that excited about it because many things like small copiers and advanced printers, need to be powered off by their power button and abrupt power outages (caused by the cut off of the "Master Controlled" outlets) can damage them. Replacing batteries: Batteries are super easy to install, at the time of this review you can get them on Amazon at 46 bucks for both the1500VA and the 1000VA model (search for "BR1500G Battery" and look for the ones with the green label). To install them, unplug the UPS, power it off and slide the battery cover (located underneath) off the unit. Pull the battery pack from the plastic tabs and just drop the new battery pack in. You cannot put it in the wrong way and unlike other UPS units, you need no tools and you do not have to play around with cables because the battery pack has an integrated connector.
