Superior Equipment and Data Protection
Why buy APC by Schneider Electric?
Over the years, APC has received hundreds of awards worldwide - more than any other UPS manufacturer. Such designations have recognized APC for both its reliable solutions and its overall business performance.
APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 1500
The Back-UPS Pro provides abundant battery backup power, so you can work through medium length power outages. It safeguards your equipment against damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility and data lines. The Back-UPS Pro also features automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which instantly adjusts high and low voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltages.
The Back-UPS Pro also includes unique “green” features, like power-saving outlets that automatically turn off idle peripherals. A high efficiency charging system and “AVR Bypass” also reduce power consumption. With the rest of the Back-UPS Pro’s standard features, this is the perfect unit to protect your productivity from the constant threat of bad power and lost data.

APC by Schneider Electric™ is proud to bring you the first ENERGY STAR® qualified UPS models.
Acknowledged for meeting standardized energy efficiency requirements and passing the program's testing, the selected Smart-UPS and Back-UPS products have been recognized for their abilities to both save customers money while helping to protect the environment.
In addition to delivering significant overall savings and providing critical, reliable functions within small to medium businesses and homes, the Schneider Electric Smart-UPS and Back-UPS were qualified by an independent laboratory on the following criteria to become marked as ENERGY STAR:
Efficiency: UPS products considered must achieve operational efficiency in the top 25 percent of the market, thus allowing customers to realize lower electrical operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
Performance Tested: All UPS products are subject to the EPA's ENERGY STAR test procedure.
Published Results: UPS products must achieve specific test results, including efficiencies at 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent loads, as well as no load losses and other characteristics which are published on the EPA's web site.
Easy-to-use auto shutdown software with power and energy management features.
PowerChute Personal Edition software provides safe system shutdown in the event of an extended power outage and prevents potential data corruption. Designed for exceptional usability, it provides first-time users with optimal protection based on APC industry-leading power management expertise. Users also have the option to tailor PowerChute settings for their individual circumstances. Energy cost and CO2 information provides a greater understanding of the energy consumed by protected equipment and energy plans enable cost savings. Note: Features vary by Back-UPS model and by operating system.
| Back-UPS Features & Benefits | |
|---|---|
| Protection | |
| Boost and Trim Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) | Gives higher application availability by correcting low and high voltage conditions without using the battery (not available on all models). |
| Unattended Shutdown | This ensures that files are saved and the Operating System is properly shut down in the event of a sustained power outage. |
| Ethernet Protection | Shields hardware from damage |
| Addl Surge Protected Outlets | Surge Only outlets offer protection for non-data sensitive equipment like scanners and printers without reducing the unit's available power or battery capacity. This helps to maximize battery power for equipment that needs it most like a computer and monitor. |
| Site wiring fault indicator | Immediately warns you of wiring problems like improper grounds that could cause shocks or prevent the UPS from adequately suppressing surges. (120V units only) |
| Availability | |
| Automatic Self Test | Biweekly testing of all internal components, including the battery, ensures your unit is ready when you need it. |
| Intelligent battery management | Maximizes battery performance, life, and reliability through intelligent, precision charging. |
| Audible alarms | Proactively notifies you of changing UPS and utility power conditions. |
| Easy Overload Recovery | Push-button circuit breaker instead of a standard fuse, eliminates the need to return the unit to the factory for service. |
| Adjustible voltage sensitivity | Provides the ability to adapt the UPS for optimal performance in specific power environments or generator applications. |
| Adjustible voltage-transfer points | Maximizes useful battery life by widening the input voltage window or tightening the output voltage regulation. |
| Convenience | |
| LCD graphics display | Text and mimic diagrams that display modes of operation, system parameters and alarms. |
| Cold-start | You can power on the unit without any input power. This provides temporary emergency battery power when the utility power is out. |
| User replacable batteries | Save time and money by swapping the battery yourself. There is no need to send the unit to a factory service center. |
| Hot Swap Batteries | You can change the battery without powering down your equipment. |

You want the BR24BPG external battery pack if you want to have time to do much of anything before shutting down the computer. It's an external battery pack that plugs into this, and roughly quadruples your run time. That can be very convenient. It's about the same size as the UPS itself. I think it contains the battery that should have been in the product to begin with, but that's what happens with consumer gear.
I'm in a very rural location (on top of an 8,300' mountain), where trees blow down on power lines, and lightning hits a lot. APC replaced an APC-protected motherboard once, without giving me any grief. That bought a lot of my loyalty to the brand.
This box works for me, especially with the external battery pack.
[...]
only downside is when you first plug it in, the fan runs for about 3 hours. but then it does turn off, and I havent heard it since
I like the new design with the black case and LCD display. you can see how many watts everything connected is using right there.
you can also FINALLY mute the speaker when its running off the battery (during a power outage). I have other older models, and they would beep every few seconds when running on battery backup power. so its nice you can mute it now
I would highly recommend this back-ups. once you get over the first 3 hours of listening to the fan (its not insanely loud BTW), I think you will really like it
On the good side: I have a Debian Linux file-server which I use for backups (a 10TB one for multiple copies of each of my machines), and setting up apcupsd was really straightforward and was incredibly functional out of the box. My server is now aware of power failures, politely asks everyone to log off the machine, shuts down all of it daemons, and turns off after a 30-minute buffer provided by the UPS. Then when power is restored it boots right back up! The connection was VERY EASY and WORKS WELL. This is a very nice UPS, and I'm sure that the windows software is similarly functional and powerful.
I also really like the feature which allows you to set how sensitive the UPS is. You can make very small dips in the cause the UPS to kick on if your devices are sensitive to small dips. The UPS only does square-wave approximation, but that shouldn't affect most users.
As a note: this is only rated for 355 Joules!! DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE AS A SURGE PROTECTOR. It will NOT save your devices unless it is a very weak surge. If you do use this device, get a nice, highly rated surge protector with a low clamping voltage and put it between the wall-socket and this UPS. You will be much happier if you do! I lost a pair of speakers before I did the proper research and realized that the surge protection aspect of this device was essentially nil (fortunately it was only a pair of cheap speakers, the UPS functionality saved the computer on the other side, but I'm wary of that as "protection").
I can't figure out why there are so many people with fan noise issues. There must be some problem with a proportion of the units which causes the fan to not turn off after it finishes charging the battery. The fan and the inverter are both pretty noisy when there's a power failure, but I don't really care about the noise when that happens, I'm just happy that the machine is still up!
--Edit note--
I originally pointed out that there was no surge rating listed, but Amazon accepted my change to the technical specifications! So I removed that segment.
