1500 Watt Battery Backup

My APC 1500 surge protector with battery backup went defective. Self check test showed battery failure. Rather than replacing the entire expensive backup, I merely ordered this #124 replacement battery and replaced the original one for allot less cost. It now works good as new. Simply, side the old battery out and slide in the new one and that's it. I did not know replacement APC batteries were available until re-reading the APC instructions and by APC web site research.

I use a total of four APC ups units. Three are small and one is a 1500. I usually buy new (trade-in) for the small 350 units, but it is far more cost effective to replace the battery in the 1500. The recycle option is appreciated and works. Unlike the other reviews I just read, I am completely satisfied with the last two replacement batteries. This most recent one arrived 100% charged and installed providing full capability and showing twenty minutes battery time remaining. Since I have a full backup generator in the event of power failure, I need only 30-40 seconds power backup from the ups, but the battery and surge protection provided has saved me more times than I can count. I live in NW Florida, one of the lightening centers of the country.

Very well build product. After calling Cyberpower, and looking at their spec sheets, I found all 1500 models were not equal. Some are 1050 watts, some are 1500 watts. This is the 1500 watt model-even though it did state 1050 watts in the BH website. I notified B&H on this fact. With the 1500 watt models, this model apparently had the longest runtime during power outages, so you get what you pay for.

Excellent product, but still room for improvement. It should have more watt-hours, at least somewhere between 1500-2000wh. Also, it should have more solar input capacity, about 800-1000W with 80-100V input.

We use this pack in a small church venue and it is loaded up to its rated 1500 watt maximum. Easy to program with clear instructions.

it's a battery backup. what's not to like?

Needed a power backup for my security system. I have the 1500 and the 700 unit and they both perform reliably whenever power goes out. Some people complain about monitoring software, but I haven't had any issues. Windows automatically detects it as a backup battery or you can install Liebert software for a few more options.

I needed a backup tripod and didn't want to spend the 800-1500 dollars to get another industry standard. This is a lot more heavy duty than I expected, and the carrying case is pro. Great addition to my kit!

This is the third consecutive APC Power Back-up 1500 I have purchased and have been pleased with them all. The current Backup-UPS Pro 1500, with its digital display makes it easy to monitor voltage and usage. Installation was a snap.

Inexpensive backup battery.
