Product Description

Product Description

APC Back-UPS XS 1500VA LCD 120V Battery Backup The APC 1500VA Back-UPS XS offers high performance protection for your business and office computer systems. It provides abundant battery backup power, allowing you to work through medium and extended length power outages. It also safeguards your equipment from damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility, phone and network lines. A distinguishing feature of the Back-UPS XS is automatic voltage regulation (AVR). AVR instantly adjusts both low and high voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations, saving the battery for power outages when you need it most. Award-winning shutdown software automatically powers down your computer system in the event of an extended power outage. Additional features like audible alarms, LED status indicators, user replaceable battery, push-button circuit breakers and plentiful outlets (including transformer-block spaced outlets) make the Back-UPS XS

2.0 out of 5 stars Has a major flaw, October 8, 2007
By E. Meadows (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The purpose of this unit is to: 1) supply power for a limited time in the event of power problems (blackout, brownout, overvoltage, etc.) so that you can perform a manual, controlled shutdown of your equipment, and 2) perform an automated shutdown (actually, perform a "hibernation" shutdown) if you are not present. But BEWARE: if you have a larger system, one that takes more than two minutes to complete its hibernation "save" process, the UPS will shut power off before the hibernation process is complete leaving you with no checkpoint recovery. You will get a Windows shutdown but any running programs will probably lose data. This is because the time that the UPS allows for hibernaton to complete is FIXED at 2 minutes and there is no way to change this. I discovered this problem during testing and APC's tech support confirmed this limitiation and recommended that I buy one of their "Smart-UPS" systems instead which has an time allowance that can be set. Just test your "time to hibernate" before you buy, and consider what may happen if you upgrade to a larger system down the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Great Unit, August 16, 2009
By Fredrick P. Lackey (Orlando, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I initially purchased this unit because it was available under Amazon Prime and I wanted to save on shipping. However, now it is the ONLY unit that I ever buy. I am responsible for purchasing decisions for our IT/MIS Department and we use this model on EVERY workstation that we have in the company. I also use these on all of my electronics at home (TVs, audio and video components, XBox, PS3, etc., etc., etc.). With over 200 of them in place, at home and at work, they have never failed me. The LCD provides useful information about the amount of time remaining, the load on the battery, and any events that have taken place to impact the unit. They can also be used with the Personal Edition of PowerChute which is very helpful on a computer. Overall, this is a great unit and worth the few dollars more than the ones without a display.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Price., July 3, 2009
By TheShadow (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
The first and foremost function of a UPS is to provide clean power to your systems. The secondary is to provide a short interval to shut down the computer.

A UPS is NOT a generator alternative. You should NOT attempt to run your computer on the UPS longer than it takes to shut the system off.

If you want to run your computer during a total blackout, get a Honda generator.

This unit does what it is supposed to do. It gives you ample time to close any and all applications and shut down your computer. Use it for one system.
