Super helpful the zoom in on the battery connect helped me out a ton bro! Every other video I saw showed it from 3 feet away thanks for an actual tutorial video.

[@jodajackson4489]

Good video but it is advisable to use the network and Coax connections provided by an UPS. A home network may have some vulnerabilities as well as cable internet and or cable / ATSC (OTA) TV.

[@kylenathe2807]

Great video, helped me out a lot!

[@jean-claudecossette6841]

I got the 1000 edition, i'm gonna change it for this one, the 1500 :)

[@FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

I've got a new one to replace the one that I had for many years.

[@PeterMaddison2483]

I came here looking for an explanation on how to connect it up to a PC and other equipment such as a NAS and installing the software and, boy, was I disapointed.

[@FallenTorment]

Where can you get replacement batteries?

[@tcperozi8831]

Lets say I have a modem, router on how long will it last over 5 hrs ?

[@providedjoker2649]

Quick question….does it always need to be on for it to work? Will the items plugged into it still work if the APC is off??

[@wolfshanze5980]

Well "on" is just allowing the power to pass through and the battery to kick-in if needed. Off is off, just like a regular power strip. The battery is never in-use unless the power to the home/office is interrupted or cut-off. You don't wear-down the battery unless the power coming from the wall is interrupted.

[@dillusiv]

Stock ones are 24v 9AH, on my 1500 Backup UPS Pro, are there other models with more juice, 20AH?

[@Galactus_]

Refurbished? That’s the quality assurance test info.

[@kirkd.6371]

Good video but What’s the run time??

[@wolfshanze5980]

5 mins to a couple of hours... there's NO run time without how much of a load you're going to put on it. 5% load, hours, 99% load, minutes.

[@zachS193]

Does the regular battery backup outlets have surge as well?

[@Upgradetech]

Yes both size have the surge but only one size use the battery

[@typerightseesight]

Mine is confusing as sh*t cuz I duno where to play everything in. mines different on the back and theres like left and right ect. lol.

[@chuyavila4423]

How long will the battery last on without being plugged into the wall?, if you were to connect a console like an xbox?

[@Upgradetech]

Only for a few minutes enough to turn the power off. It's hard to calculate the timer because it depends on the voltage connected to the surge.

[@q_m_a_g_a]

It doesn't work for shit lmao it lasts an hour when nothing plugged in, when you plug something in you have just enough time to shut it down 🤦

[@aaronsullivan1628]

I have two APC UPS, a 650 and 1500, and I will advise you away from it. My Back-ups 1500 just died. It is just barely two years old and the battery(s) is in good condition. I contacted APC and they tell me it's out of warranty. Something is malfunctioning and causing it to show dead. I have junked out many APC UPS at Ford where I have worked for almost 30 yrs as an electrician. On the day my 1500 failed, I had junked out two APC UPS at the plant. To say I am disappointed in the company is an understatement. I will take the unit apart, because that's what I do, but I have already ordered a UPS from a CYBER power, and yes I have one of their UPS also. This will be my second. Oh yes, I also work with a great deal of Schneider's other equipment and I won't rave about it.

[@EviLeonhart]

Works in a Sony 65" screen (240V) and a PS5?

[@Upgradetech]

Yes, I have Samsung 65 and a PS5 on it now.

[@kal-elthelast8834]

🤔How do you know when it's loading the battery?

[@Upgradetech]

check the front panel to see if it can see the battery and how full it is or run a test from the front.

[@emperordragon7921]

can u replace these Sealed Pb acid batteries w the newer LiFePO4 batteries?

[@Upgradetech]

You can replace the batteries but I not sure about LifePO4

[@mac11380]

I wouldn't as this unit would not likely have over charge protection that would be required.

[@tripham2850]

Is acid battery be a better back up or generator better idea

[@cartoonlove7386]

What’s the noise level like?

[@wolfshanze5980]

isn't one, it's a battery backup.

[@darrinlong8038]

charge dose not last long when on backup.

[@wolfshanze5980]

100% depends on how much of a load you put on it, as with EVERY UPS on the market. If you stuff a ton of crap on the battery, then it wont last long... if you just have a small desk clock on it, it will run for hours... this is the same with every UPS out there, it's not rocket science.

[@small28]

how many volts is each battery?

[@mac11380]

There are two batteries, each are 12 volts for a total of 24 volts

[@small28]

@@mac11380 Do you know if the batteries are connected to the ups in parallel as 12v or in series as 24v

[@mac11380]

@@small28 24v series

[@small28]

@@mac11380 thank you very much for replying. I appreciate it.

[@darrinlong8038]

if the battery lasted a good 8 hours it be worth it. just my opinion.

[@minibikemadman]

How much draw im looking to get one for my starlink internet..it draws with the heater about 130 or so watts and less with it turned off..just depends what time of year but I figured in the max usage.

[@darrinlong8038]

@@minibikemadman honestly don't know.

[@bruhmoment23123]

You can charge the battery after useing it right

[@Upgradetech]

yes, and you can also replace it if needed.

[@bruhmoment23123]

@@Upgradetech thanks I will probably buy it

[@Fusions-xl3sh]

[@Upgradetech]
