Don't go for this product.Very high cost more than 12k and stopped working after 2.5 years.Instead purchase a low cost UPS of 3k, which you can use for 2 years and go for new one.worst experience of battery change, not working of ports etc.Now it is fully dead.

cambie a varias marcas, pero esta es la mejor, este modelo tiene varias opciones en pantalla que se ajustan a mis necesidades, muy contento

Great packaging and quality. Easy to set up, and I love having my speakers and monitor turn off automatically, after a configurable delay, when I put my PC to sleep. The PC is also our family theatre/TV/homework station. :)

I bought this to deal with the blackouts I had been dealing with. After three power outages that abruptly turned off my gaming PC in the middle of usage, I needed to find a way to protect my PC from further power disruption so as not to break it.This back-UPS is heavy but sturdy. It is not a plug and play machine. You actually need to physically pull out the battery and flip it over to insert the battery in the correct orientation. If you don't do that, then it probably won't work.I didn't install the software or in fact mess with any of the settings. Once I installed the battery correctly, I plugged in my PC tower and my double monitors. After some consideration, I plugged in my TV and PS4 as well because I had extra plugs. And I did use multiple extension cords to fit everything.When my first power outage happened I didn't even notice it happening. My computer didn't flicker or react in any way. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the transition was from power to battery. Unfortunately, with my computer on, the display said it only had 10 minutes of power left even at full battery. Which is fine for what I needed--all I wanted was the chance to properly shut down my computer on my own terms in the event of a blackout. Once my computer was off, the display changed to around 100 minutes of power, and when I turned the TV on it changed to 60 minutes. The run time isn't very long but the UPS was satisfactory for me in providing continuous power to protect my computer.I haven't used it very long so I can't attest to its longevity.As a side note I noticed when I first plugged everything in I faintly smelled burnt plastic. The smell lingered for a couple days but I didn't see any issues with the device. After a while, the smell vanished. I'm not sure what it meant but in my personal experience it did not affect its ability to do its job.

I'm so far very impressed with the BR1000G, though I haven't had a brownout at all I have tested its capabilities.It's quite an attractive unit, and it looks nice sitting next to my components.Plugged into it, I have a Synology DS1815+, a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 router, a Synology DS115J, a digital alarm clock and a cable modem. According to the LCD display, this represents 11% load, and can run all the devices for 68 minutes without power.It seems like a sturdy and reliable power backup for a smaller setup, and as I said, I did test it and it works well.

Bought it after running up and down various etailers cause my research led me to the right ally. I have a requirement to save very costly equipments and ordinary UPS will not do its job. To cut my story short, this is what I have:1. LED TV. 43 Inch.2. Home Theatre. 5.1.2 channel.3. Game console4. A/V ReceiverIn total they consumed close to 1000 V, but since all of them will not be in parallel the average usage will be around 400-500 V if 2 equipments are running in parallel.Why APC UPS ?This is a inline or online UPS. It steps up voltage when low input is received and provides surge protection when high input is encountered. It has LCD screen with various diagnostic features such as MTF (mean time to failure aka. total drain), Self tests, Average usage graph etc. I am absolutely scientific in thoughts (being a researcher) so features will matter to me only if they provide me real time data and with solid facts. I hate glossy features and unfounded facts which are only to impress novices. It provides excellent options in terms of number of sockets and the most important feature is that sockets are placed in various configurations (Surge protection only, Surge + UPS), Network cable sockets, Extra battery pack support, Firmware update feature (requires network to USB cable - provided) and software to monitor application. This is more than enough for a person to handle and keep a good hold on UPS health and features. Support system of APC is unmatched in this field.So, this product had to be mine. My precious. :)What do others say ?1. Very noisy : YES. It should be. The product has mother board, battery and wires all beautifully packed into a gorgeous ABS plastic console which will work at high temperatures, dusty, humid conditions. To save internal components APC engineers have added a large brushless fan which will work only when operation temperature is exceeded. This fan also kicks in for few seconds when UPS is turned on, when UPS is providing backup, when ambient temperature exceeds set limit. The noise itself is not from fan, but when the force of air collides and deflects on the sills. Watch closely, you will understand how this works.2. Tripping noise : This is for a reason. I am not saying this is a beauty feature of this product, but shouldnt you know when the UPS kicks in to keep you aware of voltage input ?3. Heavy : At 12 Kilos, this is a solid product hard to negotiate with. If you are planning to keep it on wooden stands or support make sure it is strong. I mean really strong. Ideally should be placed behind your entertainment console or workstation so that you reduce possibility of kids meddling with this equipment or worst falling when pushed off balance. Do not place this item beyond half a foot from floor. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. Plan and design right spot for this equipment.4. Cost : Yes. Its seriously on the high end. Hard to justify, but I'm sure it comes with a premium cost due to build quality and product performance. Might be Achilles heel.5. Not good with diesel genset or facility backup features : Not sure what parameters were used to check this. Some people reported that there is a distinct humming noise from sockets in the wall, but that needs socket investigation on the input line not the UPS itself. Better to use high amp sockets on the wall to be safe with thick wiring of good manufacturers.Having said this, this writer is of opinion that given the options available to Indian entertainment console enthusiasts, backup and protection are crucial insurances. Going by wide support, low product failure rate and industrial product build quality a product as this is an blessing in disguise and a must for costly entertainment devices and consoles. Adding a voltage stabilizer to feed this monster will be adding honey on butter scotch ice cream.

I just received this unit today. I was nervous because I read a review about it not working with "Active PFC" power supplies. I have a medium to high end custom built PC. My power supply is a Corsair AX850. I'm very happy to say that this unit works great with my system. I have a 28" Hanns-G monitor, the Corsair AX850 power supply, a GTX 670 video card, a modem and wireless router all hooked up to this thing and it works great. The battery comes charged over 75%. I pulled the plug to test it several times, last test was over 5 minutes and my system did not hiccup. Finally, I also installed the PowerChute personal edition CD that comes with it. The software will safely shut my files and pc down before the UPS turns off (after the battery is exhausted) in the event of a power failure. It connects to the APC via a USB to serial cable. (the serial side plugs into the APC). You can optionally set the display to stay on or turn off to conserve engergy. There are many power options to explore if you like. I personally like to keep my peripheral equipment on (ie router and modem) but you can set this to turn them off to conserve power when not in use. If I have any problems with this unit I will amend my review here. In fairness I haven't owned this for more than a day now but so far I like it a lot.UPDATE:I have owned this unit 3 weeks now and everything's been fine so far. The PSU can handle my PC. At maximum load I'm drawing about 375 watts.My PC has an i7 CPU, GTX 670 GPU and SSD. I also have a 28" LCD monitor, modem and router plugged into the UPS. So while my PC could in theory overpower this UPS - it would need at least another graphics card to do it.

This summer I encountered several power outages at my home due to heavy thunderstorms passing through and decided I need a UPS for my computer. Among the Back-UPS PRO family I chose this model providing 1000VA/600W after weighing my power needs against the physical size and weight of the UPS. I run an iMac with a couple of external hard disks, having a total power consumption of about 180-200W in typical usage (web access or text editing). The UPS tells me it provides about 25-30 minutes runtime for this load which very well meets my goals. I mounted the UPS on a single-board shelf at the foot of my computer table - a laptop style table on casters which I had already heavily customized to hold hard disk and other accessories while hiding cables in the back. The shelf needed to be rather sturdy to hold the unit's weight of 23 pounds. A pair of braced brackets and a wooden board from a hardware store were sufficient.The shipping box contained the UPS, a USB cable to the computer, and a coax bridging cable, and no accompanying software, as several users noted. That said, add-on software is not needed on the Mac since Mac OS X has very good built-in support. Upon connecting the USB cable, the OS recognizes the UPS model and presents options relevant to UPS operation in the Energy Saver preference pane (under Lion, and I believe since Leopard). Sleep times and screen dimming can be customized specifically for the scenario of running under UPS power. A shutdown can be initiated based on one or more of three criteria: time having run on UPS, time remaining on UPS, or percentage charge remaining on the UPS. I chose the latter, with a conservative setting of 25%.The model does not make any noise during regular use. On loss of input power, it starts to quietly hum a little from the internal power source. On push of a front panel button, the font panel display cycles through various characteristics such as voltages, power, and estimated runtime. Its back-light can be set such that it is turned off during normal operations and comes on for a minute after pushing one of the buttons. I wish the display were a little more data-rich to avoid the cycling. The buttons are a little mushy and wobbly but suitable for the expected infrequent use. There is a sufficiently loud beeper which can be muted. By default, it beeps after loss of input power. As others noted, the beep would be rather inconvenient at night, and the ability to switch it off is very welcome. On loss of input power the computer is notified and Mac OS immediately pops up a warning message. After reaching a configured threshold while on UPS power the computer is shut down in an orderly manner.I had this unit for a couple of weeks now and I am very happy with it.
