This review is from: APC BR24BP BACK-UPS RS/XS 1500VA 24V Battery For BR1500 (Electronics)

I own 2 APC RS1500 UPS's with BR24BP battery packs attached. The good news: The BR24BP extends the UPS run time exactly as it was designed to do. The bad news: When the BR24BP fails, the UPS hardware and PowerChute software do NOT detect the failure, and the failure of the BP24BP may drain a good battery in the RS1500 UPS rendering the UPS useless in the event of a power outage or event. Even though the BP24BP has failed, the UPS passes the "Self-Test" with the only indication of a problem being a decreasing Battery Capacity and Battery Time in the PowerChute software even though there is not a power outage or event underway.

This review is from: APC BR24BP BACK-UPS RS/XS 1500VA 24V Battery For BR1500 (Electronics)

I purchased this along with the BR1500 last year and so far I have been extremely pleased. When the power goes out, I can get around 1.5 hours of additional runtime from my equipment. This handles quite a bit of equipment. It does take awhile to fully charge after a complete drain and that is expected considering the size of the batteries.

It may seem expensive on paper, but nothing is that expensive considering you are plugging thousands of dollars worth of equipment into it and if you are in the IT industry, uptime is obviously very important. I highly recommend this product as a wonderful compliment to the BR1500.

This is an excellent compliment to the BX1500 or BR1500 UPS. With this battery attached I get several more hours of runtime depending on the load. Definitely worth it for extended use during power outages.
