This battery backup unit is designed to preserve your system settings, DVRs, Media Center PCs, and more. View larger.
The Belkin PureAV Battery Backup offers:
  • Up to 40 minutes of battery backup power
  • Eight surge protected outlets
  • 5,500 Joules of surge protection
  • $500,000 Connected Equipment Warranty
With modern home theater components incorporating items such as hard drives, microprocessors, and other delicate circuitry, you will want to protect your equipment from blackouts and power fluctuations that may cause irreparable harm. The Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology maintains constant power delivery to your components to ensure that the memory, settings, and recordings on all your equipment will be saved in the event of a blackout, brownout, or other voltage fluctuation.

Uninterrupted Stable Power, Higher Performance
As a defense against power outages, the PureAV Battery Backup provides uninterrupted backup power to DVRs, Media Center PCs, or any other devices you use in your home theater system. This battery backup unit is designed to preserve your system settings, such as recording times, or keep a hard drive from losing power while in the middle of use. The PureAV Battery Backup uses a 1200VA/640W battery to provide up to 40 minutes of battery backup power.

Unlike most battery backup units that switch to battery backup mode only when a power outage occurs, thereby leaving your system unprotected from constant voltage sags and surges, the PureAV Battery Backup uses proprietary Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) technology that constantly corrects for small voltage fluctuations. AVR technology ensures that you have stable and clean power to all of your equipment at all times. But when a power outage occurs, the PureAV Battery Backup switches to battery backup mode until power is restored or you are able to safely turn off your equipment, thereby saving your equipment from expensive, and possible fatal, damage.

Superior Protection
The PureAV Battery Backup delivers stable clean power through eight surge protected outlets, six which are connect to battery backup. It offers 5,500 joules of surge protection and, in addition to AC power lines, it also protects coaxial-cable, pay-per-view/DSL/telephone, and broadband Ethernet (RJ45) lines. The PureAV Battery Backup also prevents electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from affecting your home theater system.

The Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology is backed by a 3-year product warranty and $500,000 Connected Equipment Warranty.

Product Description

Modern home theater components contain microprocessors, hard drives, and delicate circuitry that can be easily and irreversibly damaged by blackouts and large power fluctuations. The PureAV Battery Backup maintains constant power delivery to your components ensuring that the memory, settings, and recordings on all of your equipment will be saved in the event of a blackout, brownout, or other large - or small - voltage fluctuations.Over time small voltage fluctuations can cause damage to sensitive home theater equipment. Most battery backup units switch to battery backup mode only if a power outage occurs. This leaves your home theater unprotected from constant voltage sags and surges that can damage your equipment. For this reason, the PureAV Battery Backup employs Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Technology to maintain voltage at a constant level without the use of the battery. PureAVs AVR Technology constantly corrects for small voltage fluctuations to provide stable, clean power to all of your equipment

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful value with all the bells & whistles; the real deal!, June 28, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology (Electronics)
As usual I looked everywhere for-and-at this unit, and when I found it on Amazon with Free Shipping (this is a heavy unit) I had to go for it. My main concern was: is this the unit with Ethernet protection? The specs say "yes" but the Customer Image of the rear panel doesn't show it. That pic is WRONG; the unit has RJ45 IN/OUT and the audio alarm rocker on it--it's indeed the latest model.

The total package is large, & heavy at 42lbs so a concern is always "howzit gonna survive shipping" and I was pleased to see it was TRIPLE-BOXED! Actually, an outer box with airbags, then the Belkin shipping box and finally the Retail packaging with the plastic handle & pretty pictures. Still, when I got it apart there were a few tiny scratches on the unit--a very heavy bag with rackmount ears in it had gotten unstuck from the cardboard and was flopping-around in the innermost box with the unit. But the pretty faceplate is covered with a heavy plastic protector so no worries there.

Like the other reviewer, I noticed the 60-cycle hum immediately when I plugged it in--my home theater is very quiet when everything's powered down. I don't expect the hum to be a problem when the TV is on, and my Belkin is 12 feet away at the front of the room in the TV stand, but I'm not sure I'd tolerate it very well if I were only listening to music (but I don't ever do that so it's not a concern for me) or if it were in my other equipment rack that's right behind my viewing position.

The battery was completely drained, and it needed an overnighter to charge-up to full capacity--testing reveals it hums quite a LOT when on battery power, but again this is not a concern for me--I don't want battery power to be able to keep watching; I want it to be able to shut-down my Rear Projection TV so the fan will keep running and cool the lamp first. I also wanted it for my DVR which has a spinning hard drive that needs protection.

Overall I am very pleased, and note the WAF on this is excellent (mine thought it was "pretty"!). A good deal indeed!

3.0 out of 5 stars Audible hum from the unit, March 19, 2007
By 
This review is from: Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology (Electronics)
Purchased this unit recently from another vendor. When powered on it emits a low frequency hum even when no load is connected. Hum is heard only when the room is quiet, but can be irritating for folks that like a quiet room.
Otherwise, the unit looks solidly built, sleek but heavy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice unit, works well but with a minor complaint, June 11, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Belkin PureAV Home Theater Battery Backup with AVR Technology (Electronics)
I did not have a brown outage or lightning interference yet. However I had all my equipment plugged in and turned on when I unplugged the power cable from the wall, I could not see a single glitch, everything worked as if nothing had happened. I also turned off the power in my house and I got the same results. The only draw back of this unit is the amplifier that is built inside it. I did notice that I hear radio interference coming from my 7.1 surround sound system when I crank the volume all the way, and I hear less interference when I am not using this unit. (this only occurs when I blast my 1000 watt sound system). Overall, I am happy with this unit.
