  • You cannot go wrong with this UPS...
Size: BR1500G Style: BR1500G UPS
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. ... show more

  • External Battery Pack GREATLY extends runtime
Size: BR24BPG Style: External Battery
I've been using the APC BX1300G for my home network equipment for nearly a decade, having to replace the battery only one time. However, my runtime was hovering around 120 minutes, and the APC CP12142LI UPS connected to the fiber ONT in my garage was outpacing it. I decided to upgrade to the BR1500G with the BR24BPG External Battery Pack. I have the following devices connected to the battery backup ports: NETGEAR R8500 router, NETGEAR GS305 5-port switch, Raspberry Pi 4, and a Philips Hue bridge, drawing a total of about 30W. With the new UPS upgrade, my runtime is now 500+ minutes- a full 8-hour workday! I also tested without the External Battery Pack, and the runtime was showing around the same as my BX1300G unit (~120 minutes). The External Battery Pack GREATLY extends runtime. I'm glad I picked these up when I did, because APC's website indicates that this model (BR1500G) was discontinued on April 19, 2023 (although spare parts will available until its EOL). The QA tags on the devices I received were dated Nov. 2022, so both had relatively fresh batteries installed. The true test will come when the power goes out... ... show more

  • Loads of Power, but a little noisy twice a month for a couple hours
Size: BR1500G + BR24BPG Style: UPS + Battery Bundle
This is old tech, but I love the capacity. I use the bR1500G with the 1500VA which, together, will power my modem, router, and security cameras for several hours. It has only clicked on once since I received it a little over a year ago, but it came on instantly and there was no interruption in my camera feeds, my wifi, network or my internet of things smart home network. The USB connection to my PC is not very useful except to run a self test every once in a while. I have a dual smart plug between the UPS and the two NVRs for my security cameras (one for inside, one for outside) so I can control their schedules. Plugging the NVRs directly into the UPS would improve surge protection, but the risk is low and being able to turn the cameras on and off remotely is worth it. So what I like is the capacity,and what I don't like is mostly the loud fan noise that comes on twice a month when it is cycling is batteries or something and also the old fashioned computer interface. As a UPS and a Surge protector it works great, but it could do more with a more modern interface. In fact, it would be nice to have a USB-C Thunderbolt port, too. Oh and the external battery pack was defective when I received it (see photo), but I found a Youtube video that showed hoe to open the case. When I loosened the two halves of the case, the wavy plastic piece immediately snapped flat so I carefully slid the plastic tabs into the correct slots, and closed it up without even fully opening the unit. I am glad I didn't have to return such a heavy device for service! ... show more
