CyberPower 1350VA AVR Series UPS

[@TrustMacintosh]

My computer is something I can't afford to lose. We all have so much irreplaceable data in them. Once my setup is complete I'm gonna invest in one too. Power outages are very common in California and being able to properly shut down all the main stuff after a power outage is great. Education 101 via Tomas, great work man.

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks for stopping by to show some luv mang!

I purchased 4 of these from Costco for $99.99 each. I like them a lot better than the APC's I've owned over the years.

[@apost8not]

...and Costco is still selling this same UPS in the same box for the same price 3 years later. Just picked one up to replace an old APC.

[@jimscimonetti1457]

I cannot figure out how to keep the display in “Always on” mode. I wish I would have gotten the other model with the 3 individual switches. It is more straightforward and easier to do. I don’t like these “one button does 100 different functions if you click thought the confusing menus correctly.” But this was an excellent investment and you got your at a good price.

[@unlyricallyrics4152]

Just bought one of these (1100va), very good video with useful information. Thanks!

[@MrAbdel119]

There's a recycling depot right at the end of my street and i pick up discarded tech on the weekly(CRT TV's, Stereos, Computer Monitors, etc.) to fix up and sell for a quick buck and i recently picked up 2 of these UPS's. Plugged them in as soon as i got home and to my surprise they both powered up without issue. After some quick tests i figured the batteries inside were dead so i replaced the batteries on both of them and voila! Two almost new UPS's. Decided to keep these for myself and the wife since brand new ones would've run me around $125 each. People throw out stuff without even trying to see what the issue is.

[@DanielTheCooliest]

The batteries will go bad after 3 years of use or so apparently, but most people don't know how to replace the battery I believe. Your skills definitely make the most out of what is there.

[@sheilagraham2747]

Liked your video! It would have been useful to actually see you connect the equipment to the UPS device.

[@demonhunter20]

I have one of those running in 2024. I just replaced the two old batteries for new ones. It works great.

[@TomasVillegas]

Nice, that’s an awesome way to extend the life of a pretty great product.

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Love CyberPower UPS compared to the other brand.Got mine a few years ago and the dual usb in the from is so useful.

[@CUAUHTEMOCVEGATORRES]

I would love to watch how it perfom in certain situations but way longer like reaching its limits.

[@Jglabel262]

I’m assuming this would also be useful in a storm. Say we get a hurricane and power goes off. No where to charge your phone in your town and you have no generate. You could use this to charge devices in emergency?

[@DanielTheCooliest]

Is it normal for these units to produce a running noise? Mine is brand new and makes a slight hum/buzz noise when it is plugged into the wall and my pc and monitor. It isn't loud but I wanted to see if it was standard in UPS to make a running noise.

[@chris4869]

Your UPS should not make any noises unless it's running off battery. The fan will kick in when it's on battery power but it should be off under normal power.

[@kevinfaller3812]

A new LX1325GU is approx. $140. The replacement batteries are anywhere from $90 to over $200.

[@paikfamilyinpv]

I recently bought this and was trying it out. I unplugged it after it was fully charged and plugged my iPhone and the machine beeps every minute or two. Any idea what I could have done wrong? Thank you

[@donaldstephensen8654]

So I'm just running a small fan why does it beep about every 10 seconds?? Thanks

[@Nocatsmusic]

looks like they updated it since i got mine, wish i had the usb...

[@RonAskey]

Is this compatible with generator power?

[@boredreindeer5602]

I’m listening to that thing right now because my power was mysteriously shut off, neighbors don’t have power either. Also the power light on mine is broken, it’s flickering and does not work most of the time.

[@canoopsy]

Very cool, could be a very useful item for power failures/outages. Something I could definitely make use of!

[@TomasVillegas]

I don't know what took me so long to get it. I'm happy I did.

[@Mircea1997]

who can help me calculate?i totally consume 400w, is a 550w ups good?

[@dan_gutierrez]

Thanks for the video the instruction manual was not clearly explaining the back part of the device. Surge vs Power

[@TomasVillegas]

Glad this helped. 👍

[@JO9OH4Tech]

Always swear I'm going to get one of these and never do. Awesome video!

[@TomasVillegas]

Jo Olmedo I know! It took my wife to get me one before I finally caved. Thanks for the comment man!

[@danacowe6102]

Tomas, "Wiring Fault" refers to the power that the UPS is plugged into. Not the devices that are plugged into the UPS. Most often, the "Wiring Fault" indicator will catch a missing Ground on the AC outlet that the UPS is plugged into. As, DIY'ers (non-electricians) will often install a three-prong AC outlet, without actually grounding that third prong.

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks for the info.

[@robcicca]

How do you stop it from beeping when there is a power failure?

[@ianmc87]

Wondering the same. The beeping sound is really annoying.

[@debyzwierlein-carter487]

Maybe try pressing on the power button for a few seconds? I just bought one but haven’t tried it out yet. Thank you for the video. Very helpful.

[@robcicca]

I eventually figured out how to go into the menu system and select mute. Someone on youtube shows how to do it too.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

do all the ports on the back still work when the batteries fail, or just the surge side ports?

[@TomasVillegas]

Yes. They will continue to work.

[@mmmmgood7318]

My things keep turning off when the power goes out? I thought this would keep them on?

[@darylbest8757]

Very helpful video ! Using this product to protect my recoring studio

[@TomasVillegas]

It'll work great for that 👍

[@thebuddha4208]

I found mine at Costco it was only 99 bucks did I get a good deal

[@MindHunger]

Thanks, you helped make my decision, I'm buying one of those!

[@TomasVillegas]

Awesome, glad I could help 👍

[@kevintsai3350]

Does this unit make a high pitch whirring noise after you shut down the ups? mine does. is this normal? it's hard to sleep with that sound. but when i keep the ups turned on, it's completely silent. is this normal?

[@TomasVillegas]

Mine is silent still.

[@intactgreen7564]

Great vid! Does yours make a buzzing noise when unplugged from the wall outlet?

[@TomasVillegas]

It does not.

Great video and is amazing too see your improve vid by vid excelente Tomas

[@jeannieflaherty2881]

Why does my cyber power beep? When power goes out it beeps randomly during outage

[@sandresstudios]

Most brands do the same thing, it's to warn you to start saving your document and then you should shut off the PC. That way you don't lose what you were working on.

[@thebuddha4208]

It took me a while but now I have three of them you can keep your TV Internet and some lights running for about an hour

[@mattgonzalez]

Awesome man! I really want one of these. My power went out the other day because it's so hot here and I lost about 10 minutes worth of edit :(. Need one of these

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks for stopping by man! Appreciate it

[@tianhaodavidhu6235]

Good video. I also want to hear your opinion on the usb charging ports.

[@TomasVillegas]

+Td Lee they are fantastic, output 2A in both.

[@tianhaodavidhu6235]

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they were accurately rated.

[@IainBryce]

Great video man. Very good idea to have a UPS in the house :)

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks Iain!

[@orionpax3535]

How loud is this UPS?

[@TomasVillegas]

Not loud at all. Even under load.

[@mustafaaljanabi4818]

is this for mac, and it is good for heavy duty ?

[@TomasVillegas]

It's a consumer rated battery backup, so it works with pretty much any in-home tech.

[@TheAppleuser101]

Great video Tomas!

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks!

[@febles83]

acabas de hacer una venta amigo

[@thebuddha4208]

There is a way to stop it from beeping constantly just look it up on KZbin cyber power house how to stop the beeping

[@chandrasekhar7708]

why spend huge amount on this? instead you can go on inverter with adding little amount

[@Ragnar215]

And also the best way to actually test it out just unplug it from the wall that’s what I did back up battery checked in everything stayed on

[@TomasVillegas]

Sure, but I wanted to see if loss at the source would be protected.

[@alexandersala-u9n]

How many hours you have to charged

[@TomasVillegas]

Depends on the load.

[@anexonel]

Hella dope video man!

[@zakielangel]

is this gona be enougth for a 1000 wats gold plus gamer PC?? 2019??

[@rikimbili]

yes as long as all components dont draw more than 810W from the UPS

[@Jarhead6]

Nice! We could had use that on deployments lol!

[@TomasVillegas]

Jarhead6 yeah but it's as heavy as a 240 with tripod, I'm not humpin' this thing through the desert! Hahaha!

[@Jarhead6]

Tomas Villegas LOL PFC UP!!!

[@ckenig]

great video! thank you

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks!

[@jaylemiere7283]

We need stuff like this i hate generators cause they are so loud if i had this i would have to worry so much about a hurricane or power going out

[@CrazyRiGuy]

The difference is that a generator is much more cost-effective and works for longer periods.

[@OgDj2024]

Could this unit be used for other electronics, electrical power to a fish tank for instance?

[@CalikingZX]

J Patterson i was just thinking that

[@CalikingZX]

Filters , heater and airpumps.. Id say it will last 10 mins at most

[@OgDj2024]

NismoZTuner thank you

[@boxertest]

Thanks for the info :-)

[@damienlambert8054]

Very cool

[@shelby50411]

The problem with ups are that they fail after only couple yrs due to batt life....

[@TomasVillegas]

I still have this one and it's working well.

[@BluntForceTrauma666]

1:48 "...it's one _hell_ of a produc,t 'cause it is _HEAVY..._" Seriously? Or is it actually due to the two 12v AGM LEAD acid batteries that are stacked together inside it? Pointless, unsubstantiated comment...

[@TomasVillegas]

So sorry.

[@BluntForceTrauma666]

Yeah? Me too. But I think I should clarify. I've had a CP1500 LCD something or other running for YEARS and it has pretty much run so well that I have barely even thought about it. **HOWEVER,** just a few weeks ago the power went out for a brief moment and when it came back on, apparently it's batteries were done, but I had not been given ANY kind of prior warning. No beeping, no alarm, no indicators OF ANY KIND on that nice, big, backlit LCD. Still, no biggie, it just needs two new batteries. Correct? Well, I've owned _numerous_ APC UPS's and since those idiots can't seem to implement a decent battery charging algorithm, and/or don't understand the concept of a "float charge" those units absolutely COOK their batteries in record time. Every single one of them. EXCEPT, when their batteries failed, the rest of the unit continued to function minimally at least as just a surge protector. An "outlet-strip" with an intensely annoying, screamingly long alarm beep. No harm no foul, I suppose. So, I was super happy that my CP1500 ran "flawlessly" for so long. Or so I thought. I wasn't present when the power recently went out, but when I did get home, I soon noticed a continuous "click-click-click..." noise. I eventually tracked down the source of the sound. Yep, it was my CP1500 clicking, with it's blank LCD AND ALL THE ATTACHED DEVICES with all their bright green LED's _endlessly_ turning ON-off-ON-off-ON-off, remaining in each state for just about one second. The attached devices were a dual-WAN router, a 2.4/5.0Ghz wireless access point, a Western Digital 4TB NAS "My Cloud" device and a nice desktop PC. To make a short story endless, that incessant ON-off-ON-off-ON-off bullshit had apparently been going on for HOURS and HOURS before I got home and I ultimately found that my "beloved CyberPower 1500" had bricked my router, trashed all the disks in my WDEX4, and destroyed the Seagate hard drive in my PC. Think about it: In one single hour, those devices were briefly powered on and then off, 1800 times. If my neighbor's memory serves hiim correctly, this went on for SIX fucking HOURS before I got home. *SO:* Not only did this PIECE OF SHIT trash my main hard drive but it also took out my fucking drive BACKUPS as well. I lost a SHITLOAD of irreplaceable data/projects/pictures/documents/e-mails (shall I go on?), EVEN THOUGH I made every attempt to do things "the right way": Power all critical devices using a surge-protector/UPS and make frequent backups. I've NEVER seen such amateurish engineering and/or lack of proper field-testing IN MY LIFE. Presumably all because of the SHITTY (so-called) engineering done in India and Chinese manufacturing. Oh, and the giant, rotting cherry on top, covered in green mold? I was DENIED any of that $300,000 warranty BULLSHIT because this was "not a surge related incident." **YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED** Yes, I'm SERIOUSLY fucking *PISSED OFF* about all of this...

[@mortalstorm]

Yep, the retarded charging circuits in many of these units are practically useless, and in particular, as you mentioned, the APC's. I've taken to using a separate trickle charging unit to keep the batteries fresh. Yeah, it's a bit more of a chore, but the tradeoff is a longer lasting battery you need not have to worry about for a an extended period of time. The old Belkins probably had the best internal charging circuitry for home UPS's. I have an old F6C650 that's still running like a champ after 10 years of use. I just swap out the battery every six months or so, to desulfate it. BTW, those "warranties" put out by the UPS industry is as useless as the charging circuits in their units. I don't know of anyone who has been successful in actually collecting on it. If you ever took the time to read the fine print covered in these warranties, you'll find a maze of hoops you need to jump through to even stand a chance of being successful.

As soon as I saw that mac I laughed my ass off, Let that shit die so you can upgrade to a real desktop...

U poor bro?
