CyberPower GX1500U Setup How to instructions

[@mygiguser]

I have one of those for over 3 years now, and it works very good so far.

Everyone reviews this UPS but no one that I can find explains the setup menu. I would love to see it.

Very good

This UPS (and all others like it) advise against attaching *surge-protected* power strips because you should *_never_* "daisy-chain" surge protectors as they will *not* provide proper surge protection when connected this way. Connecting multiple *non-surge-protected* power strips (e.g., to accommodate odd-sized "wall warts" and other devices) is just fine as long as you do not overload the device.

Awesome information, thank you for sharing! 👍

I bought one 4 days ago, plugged it in to charge it and connect to my Synology after it arrives. My Synology arrived today, so I turned off the GX1500U, unplugged it, and took it to the desk with my new NAS. Then, before plugging it in or anything - POP- followed by a plume of grey smoke coming out of it. Needless to say, I'll be taking it back to BestBuy asap But yeah, that's my first experience with this unit

[@mpxz999]

Return to best buy was simple and pain free. I told them and they said they'd seen a few of those units comeback. It seems extremely popular and well received online though, so this causes me to believe that these problems could be limited to a particular production run of them. Not enough to make me think all are bad. All the same though, I think I'll save up for an Eaton unit so I can sleep without worry lol

I have one on order from BestBuy arriving tomorrow your post and other reviews are making me have second thoughts about this UPS.

Hello, I just bought one of these and plugged it in, it's charging now but the red 'Wiring Fault' light in the back is on. It's not very bright, and the manual says when it's "illuminated" to have your outlet checked. Does that mean there's only an issue if it gets brighter? It looks like yours is on when you have it plugged in. I've also tried multiple outlets and it looks the same. I'm guessing it's fine, but I just want to ask to be on the safe side. If you know and could tell me, it would be really helpful!

Do I understand that my HP laserjet printer should not be attached to this CyberPower backup battery?

[@s.i.m.c.a]

why anyone still uses 108 Wh lead acid bulk ups, when any power generator have same ups functions, more compact, lighter and better capacity and more prolonged battery life?

I now use an ecoflow as a UPS, about the same cost, runtime is longer, only takes an hour to fully charge
