CyberPower GX1500U Setup How to instructions

In this video we explain n easy to follow step-by-step instructions how to set up a battery backup by CyberPower. Make sure not to connect too many devices to the battery backup, especially no high-powered devices, which would draw too much current from the battery. THis could potentially damage the battery. It would also cause the battery backup to shut down when we need it the most, which would render it useless. For example, to not try to run laser printers, space heaters or vacuum cleaners off of the battery backup.

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

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.

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?

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
