In Battery Backup (UPS)

I liked my 1st one so much I bought this one for my Home Server.

low cost nice design

My+ old one died same modlue have had good service

its made to do what its made to do, as soon as my city grid loses power, this back up kicks in allowing me enough time, more than enough time, to safely shut down the computer w/o losing any data

I like the software you can get from APC to adjust how this UPS works.

Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.

Works well

works great with Ubuntu Linux using apcupsd or upsd

Easy setup and small foot print.

I bought this unit to replace an older CyberPower 600w unit I had bought from Newegg in July of 2010 to protect my TV and other equipment (computer is on another unit). The primary reason I did was because the old one, which was a nasty square wave unit, would cause my components to emit a "buzz", and I do believe that it damaged some of my equipment (which the manufacturer replaced, not CyberPower). Anyway these units were not out then and the only solution was an expensive APC or TrippLite unit. But fast forward to now and CyberPower has these "Pure Sine Wave" (actually Adaptive Sine Wave, a sawtooth or triangle waveform, not sine) for a good price, so I decided now was a good time to replace both units (see my CyberPower 810w Pure Sine Wave UPS review later in the week). First thing I did was plug in my radio and DVR, both of which on my old CP unit would emit a bad buzz and the front displays would slowly pulse bright and dim, and run it on battery power. No buzz, no pulsing display. Battery run time seems to be about right, ~30 minutes on a 90w load (tested, ~75w load which is my TV at 0% backlight and satellite receiver, simulating a power outage during a thunderstorm so I can watch the weather). The display is also much improved on this version, a nice white on black as opposed to a blue on blue, much more readable. Also it has the ability to always have the LCD display on (using a P3 Kill-A-Watt using the LCD display uses 1w of power).

I have this UPS for more than 3 years. One day battery died on it. I took it apart and using heavy gauge speaker wire (gauge #2 for 200 Amps) connected to a large external sealed acid battery that I have for solar system. Now, this UPS can have more than 2 hours standby power when we had power failure last year.

Works as expected. keeps my devices running long enough for temporary power outages or for me to shut things down if I need to.

Ok, to get this out of the way--ONE button does everything. Not the most convenient thing for consumers to do but simplifies things for the maker of the product except when people call them and go "blah blah, how do I do this or dat?" The instructions come with it on how to set settings though. Voltage trip range could be set to sensitive, normal, or high. I left it on normal, which is preset, and it tripped once within a week--I heard a click from the unit, which means it activated. Also, audio alarm could be disabled (or couple other options as to when it would activate), all of which also is set by one button.. meh. You have to hold button for so long, blah, do so long of a press blah, blah blah... meh. Green power LED is very nice looking but too bright for bedrooms, so I had to put a sticky note paper over it and paint that area with a black permanent marker (in reverse order) to keep that light from shining brightly in the room. Overall: it is a very nice polished looking product for a reasonable price.

Great item, installs easy.

- Solid AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) - it actually works as advertised. I consistently get 140V-160V (yikes) voltage spikes and dips to 90v at my apartment (the wiring is terrible and the landlord doesn't care). This unit protects my computer and other electronics from those spikes. -Switches to battery without any of my electronics flickering when the AVR range is exceeded. -Long battery run time. The front panel reports over 2 hours on idle at desktop and up to 7 minutes under a 400w load (running BOINC).

Didn't have the smell issue that some have said. It works just like it should, and the best part is no fancy software to load to use the thing. Just plug it in and get on with it.

It is a good fit for the PC and monitor attached. No problems so far.

CyberPower UPS systems work well in just about any application. The batteries are replaceable, which is a requirement for me. I support home and SMB networks, where a single low-cost CyberPower UPS can power several servers and shut them down appropriately. Unlike APC, which only provides network shutdown features at higher price points, CyberPower makes their PowerPanel Business Edition software available as a free download, which enables you to set up alerting and unattended shutdown for any Windows or Linux box on your network, so in this way the server can alert the workstations and shut them down, even if the workstations are only connected to "dumb" UPS power units. Leave the big data centers to APC. If you support home or SMB networks, CyberPower is the only way to go.

Instructions were perfect.
