Back-UPS Pro Gaming UPS, 1500VA Sinewave Battery Backup, USB-C Charging & AVR, BGM1500B-US

This was by far the best investment and solved a lot of issues with monitors and computer getting the correct voltages and its well controlled by the APC unit. Plenty of plugs and good spacing. When the power did go out, it kept my computer and router/modems going. This was easy to use and easy to set up with minimal space needed.

El producto es extremadamente pesado, tiene luces que están prendidas todo el tiempo y llegan a ser muy molestas ya que iluminan toda la habitación de forma excesiva, solo se pueden cambiar de color pero no desactivarlas, también hace mucho ruido más que una pc de torre cuando está encendido, para solicitar la devolución el vendedor que es internacional ha pedido que sea en correos mexicanos, los cuales por el peso y al ser una batería no aceptan, ojalá el proceso de devolución fuera mucho más sencillo como otros artículos que basta con llevarlos con una sola guía que tiene una única dirección, sin tener que pagar el envío, me arrepiento mucho de haber hecho esta compra, a ver cuánto tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo tengo que invertir para que me respeten la devolución, si estás leyendo esto si el producto se ve bien estéticamente pero no es funcional ni práctico. No lo recomiendo.

This is the same UPS as the other APC 1500VA unit (BR1500MS2) that is a bit cheaper (sometimes a lot cheaper.) The main difference here is that this has illumination and 2x Type A and 1x Type C versus the other model's 1x Type A and 1x Type C. I did buy this for the lighting, and honestly it is useful as it illuminates the back of the unit. I also disable audible alarms, so the ring changing color to indicate a switch to battery power has also been nice. If you're not looking for an additional USB port or lighting, this isn't worth the extra cost.

Unit smells like it has a circuit board that has popped a capacitor or something, strong electrical odor smell. Although it does work 100% fine, 2 weeks in and the odor going as strong as day 1. APC tech support said that the unit, even though brand new from Amazon was actually physically produced in 2021 and has been sitting. They are going to ship me a brand new unit and I will update when that arrives.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I previously owned a UPS from APC and with my new 5090, it was pulling too much power, overloading the APC when I would render in Blender. This UPS was from a company I was already familiar with, it has monitoring and self testing software available, and had the power load capability I needed. In the video I'm showing you how to change the colors on the back/front and cycling through the screen options. I prefer to have it show the load % (the one I stopped on) as even when the screen dims, the colored ring still loads and adjusts around the screen to give you a visual on the load without having the entire display screen active. There is no way to completely disable the back light that I have found, but red seems to be the least intrusive for light pollution in the house (our bedroom door is nearby so I wanted a light that didn't flood the neighboring rooms). Battery life on it seems acceptable. I've had two loss of power events since installing this (bought it a few months ago) and was able to safely shut down my machine without even passing the 80% batter left mark. Overall a great purchase, especially if you live in an area with unstable power supply like I do (out in the woods with tree interference on lines frequently). Would absolutely recommend this if you have any sensitive equipment that you want to protect. It's pretty beefy and can handle a lot of power flowing through it.
