High Quality Smart Workstation Power Backup Solution

I love these things i use them for individual workstation protection, for my Windows Home Server, even for my Salt Water fish tank. They work great, have a really nice LCD display which allows you to see various aspects of the device including: Battery Charge Battery Runtime Current Voltage Used These also have the absolutely necessary USB interface (finally sick of the serial interfaces) which allows you to adjust the power settings on your PC/server, to react accordingly once the device has gone on battery power. This is a really nice feature, which allows you to tell the PC to begin a safe shutdown after a select period of time on battery, thus protecting your system from the dreaded total power loss. I'm currently using 4 of these devices, with the oldest being around 4 years old, and in that period I've never had an issue once. I've done some testing on my heavily backed up home server, and found that i can get about a 8 minute runtime on the battery under standard load (500 W power supply server, 23" LED Monitor). This is more than enough for my needs, if you looking to hold enterprise class servers, or rack items, you'll need to look into something much more robust, but if you need to ensure that your workstation isn't murdered by a power surge or flash outage look no further!

It Works

Im a trucker and EVERYTIME my truck started the power would be interrupted for couple seconds so TV, satellite, PS3 would shut down. I had to replace my TV due to power surges so i purchased the CP825LCD as you can see i just use it for my TV SATELLITE and PS3. when i park truck for hometime i turn it off so really have not seen how it works after a power outage BUT works really well for the power blips. you get NO noticable power fluctuations SO I give it 5 stars as it dose what I bought it for.

Everyone should own a UPS. START WITH THIS ONE!

This UPS works great! It even has a usb that communicates with my computer that will turn it off in the even of a full power loss to prevent the PC from shutting down improperly. The UPS has a software that is free. It will show you Watts used, voltage, and amount of time remaining before the battery runs out. Recommend you only plug in your PC to this and nothing else because you cannot go over a certain amount of watts, even with the “power surge” that doesn’t connect to the battery. The battery lasts about 10 min with my gaming PC. I actually used this during a storm, the electricity was in and out one night and I had my PC and Internet/router hooked up to the UPS. It kept me online while the electricity reset every 30 seconds

Works for me

Have a three NAS drives I've collected over the years, a router, switch, modem, and an AP ALL plugged into the battery side (had to use a power strip). I didn't wait for a power outage, I just unplugged it for testing to see if it would last until the house backup generator started up. Living out in the sticks that seems to happen a lot. The UPS estimates how much time is remaining on the display so I didn't feel I needed to actually time it which I was about to do. 17 minutes @ 28% capacity and I purchased the 750VA/420W. I have not looked into how to silence the warning beep since all my stuff is in a closet and I wouldn't hear it anyway - the beep is not that loud. Looks nice, feels solid, works as intended... I'd buy it again.

Perfect for home or small office

Simple, powerful protection with the capacity to easily handle most standard home entertainment electronics, computer systems, home security network and it adds a layer of surge protection to my entire home internet network. I configured my internet protection by easily running the main ethernet cable into the CP600 then out to my ISP Gateway. Surge protection and constant power supply for my home network is vital for the operation of my PoE (Power over Ethernet) Network Security Surveillance system. I rely on three security cameras with 5MP that include most bells and whistles along with an isolated NVR. With my current settings my 4TB NVR records 24hrs a day seven days a week for up to 30 days before recycling old data. I've used the CP600 for over six months which included numerous strong summer thunderstorms, one hurricane and plenty of power outages. All of my equipment remains in excellent condition especially for the built in alarm, I keep it on silent except for complete power loss notification. The alarm helps me when it's one of those clear blue sky days and the power goes out. I wouldn't normally notice unless I was relying on electricity at the time power was lost, but the alarm alerts me to the situation and provides me with ample time to shutdown my equipment. Typically if the outage is short, only lasts a few minutes or up to about 15 minutes, the CP seamlessly kicks in supplying plenty of electricity to run my internet gateway router, NVR, 3 cams, 20'' monitor and a PoE switch. The 6 ft. power cord on the CP600 gives more than enough room to work with when mounting or selecting it's location. Tons of outlets, LED display is easily visible, accurate and quite handy. Great value for a durable product that simply quietly does its job. I never even think about it to be honest.

Affordable protection for home or small office electronics

With a new computer I decided to upgrade my protection. In addition to the computer, a backup drive, and a satellite modem are connected to the surge/backup protected outlets and a printer and speakers connected to the surge only outlets. The CyberPower also guards against power fluctuations with automatic voltage regulation. There are ports to protect phone lines and coaxial connections as well. It can lay flat, stand up, or be wall mounted. The readout keeps you informed as to the status. If your CyberPower is behind a desks mine is, the PowerPanel software gives you status on the battery charge, remaining runtime (mine currently 59 minutes), power condition, and date/time of the last battery use. It also allows you to configure the shutdown of your computer and powering off/on of the CyberPower unit when power is lost. Great unit for a home or small office.

Great UPS but realized I needed more battery backup

I purchased this device to support a single 4-port powered cable splitter. I hoped it would last as long as the CyberPower CP1500 I purchased for my cable modem, wireless router, and Synology NAS. I wasn't quite sure how long it would last, but last night's extended power outage (17 hours) after Tropical Storm Michael passed over put this device to a real-world test. The results: it provided power for about 3-1/2 hours; good but I was hoping for more. Unfortunately, when the cable modem splitter's battery went out, I lost the cable modem anyway, so while the CP1500 protected my modem and wireless router for nearly 6 hours, I need to purchase a bigger battery for the splitter to help it match the CP1500. I'm sticking with CyberPower but I'm going to purchase the 850VA unit which should last about 4-1/2 hours or more. No knocks to this device. What I'm going to do is use this battery backup to provide power for our critical mobile devices: my Verizon MiFi, my cell phone, and my Dell laptop. That should really help make a difference in case of a power outage and help us keep our devices with a high battery supply until the power returns.

Great for powering CFLs during a power outage! SILENT MODE much appreciated!

CyberPower CP825AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS... CYBERPOWER SYSTEMS I bought one of these March 17, 2011 to replace an older smaller unit that I used for running my modem, router, & two Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs. I had been using a GEEK SQUAD 1500 VA UPS for my old PC, but when I replaced it, I put the new one A Dell Optiplex) on the other side of my desk & connected it to this CYBERPOWER UPS. I was very surprised to see the estimated runtime was no less than 30 minutes, even with the PC, 1 CFL, the modem & router connected & running. The monitor & amplified speakers are still connected to the GEEK SQUAD UPS. Where I now live, the AC power is very reliable, & we rarely lose power. Yet, last night, power failed; though it took me a while to notice it, because the light was running on the UPS' power & the UPS alarm had been set to silent. I suppose it was at least 5 minutes before I shut down the PC, which I did only because the GEEK SQUAD UPS was very old, and signaling immanent battery failure, & a PC without a monitor is no fun. It was at least another 5 minutes, maybe even 10 before I unplugged the modem & router. This unit gave an estimated runtime of 75 minutes after I unplugged everything but the CFL. Yet, this UPS continued to run my CFL (equivalent to an incandescent 100 watt bulb) for nearly 2 hours. I was able to read with more than enough light until the last 5 minutes, when the unit began beeping. It has a silent mode that defers the audio alarm until then. I am very satisfied with this unit, and expect that with the infrequent loss of power in this neighborhood, its internal battery should last more than another few years (it is 3 already). While it is a bit too low in capacity to run a PC, monitor, speakers, etc., for more than about 15 to 20 minutes, for my application, it works fine. I noticed that my new PC, though much faster than the old one, appears to use much less power. As I need to replace the old GEEK SQUAD 1500 VA UPS, I might consider a CYBERPOWER 1200 VA unit rather than the 1500 VA one. edit: While this unit does not have PURE SINE WAVE WAVEFORM - ACTIVE PFC COMPATIBILTY (see the COMPARE PRODUCTS table), it does run my new Dell PC (bought just this year) just fine -as far as I can tell- from a mere 5 minutes or so. Summary: I leave this unit turned on at all times, and greatly appreciate its SILENT MODE; no more groping around in the dark when the AC power fails, as this runs the CFL for nearly 2 hours, & I suppose it might even last longer if the CFL was the only thing plugged in to it. If I lived in an area where the power fails frequently or for longer durations, I would want a more powerful unit for this purpose, perhaps even a 1500 VA one. This recent outage did last an unusually long time, about 3 ½ hours, and though it was already dark when it started, the important thing is that it did not take me by surprise. I was not suddenly left in the dark, groping for a flashlight. Although the UPS did run out of power after about 1 ½ hours, I was well prepared for it, having plenty of flashlights, lanterns, & fresh D-cells on hand. If I were choosing a UPS for running my PC & monitor, I would definitely want a 1500 VA one, if only because I would want no less than 45 minutes while running on the battery. As of right now, the estimated run time is 36 minutes, though as noted above, my monitor is plugged into another UPS.

I love Cyberpower, well made, great buy

I am using this for my home security DVR/cameras and my home phone. I got to love Cyberpower UPSs since I already have a 1500VA one that I have used on my computer since 2011. Never had a problem, in fact, the battery in the 1500VA is still okay but I know that I may have to probably replace it soon. Since then I have bought a sine wave 1500VA Cyberpower but I have not really used it yet. These all are well made and work as stated, power glitches do not seem to effect the output power at all. The only suggestion I have is that their software should allow monitoring for multiple Cyberpower UPs on one computer. At the present time it allows for just one.. I have to switch the cable from one to the other to monitor its operation and to test them.

The perfect UPS for protecting key electronics, like your cable modem and WiFi routers, and surge protecting things like TVs.

Recommended! For years, we have used UPSes to protect our computers -- we currently have two models, a CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD for my three computers, ink-jet printer and scanner, and a CP850PFCLCD to protect my wife's computer and multifunction ink-jet device. However, when a momentary power blip (sub-second) took our network off the air, I realized that we needed to protect our cable modem and WiFi router. This is increasingly important as we use cloud-based software, like Google Docs, where losing network access could be more than an inconvenience - it might also lose your work. In our house, our cable modem and WiFi router are situated next to our big TV and sound bar, In fact, they were all on the same surge protector -- gotta protect those valuable electronics, especially here in Phoenix, which gets a lot of lightning. We decided to replace the surge protector with those CyberPower CP600LCD. This is a lower-end unit than what we use with our computers; it doesn't put out the pure sine wave electricity, the way the big ones do, but for protecting televisions, routers and modems, that's totally fine. I chose the "LCD" version because our house does get occasional brownouts, and it's nice to be able to see the screen and verify the input voltage. There's one big thing that I don't like about this model: The on/off switch is VERY easy to press accidentally. If you do so, even for a moment, everything turns off instantly. That's bad news, and of course defeats the entire purpose of having a UPS! So what I did is tape a piece of cardboard over the power switch, so that it can't be pressed accidentally. It's a bit ugly, but then again the UPS isn't visible (it sits on top of our soundbar's subwoofer) so nobody will know. Still, I think that CyberPower should have designed this switch to be harder to press accidentally, perhaps with a flip-up cover. By the way, we plugged the cable modem and WiFi router into the battery-protected ports, and the TV and soundbar into the surge-only ports. I'd rather save the battery for the network. Given how little power the modem and router draw, this UPS should keep 'em powered for hours.
