Cyberpower CP1350AVRLCD - $90+tax @ Costco instore
 

My first post, so please be gentle.

In my local Costco they had the Cyberpower CP1350AVRLCD in stock for $89.99 + tax, labeled as Cyberpower CST1300AL. The bottom of the item shows "Model 1350VA: CP1350AVRLCD" The front shows "CyberPower 1350AVR". Item on Costco's website. [costco.com]

So as far as I can tell it's the same thing.

Newegg.com has it for $130 shipped w/ promo code: LINK [newegg.com]

Amazon.com has it for $130 via Prime: LINK [amazon.com]

Product info from CyberPowerSystems.com [cyberpowersystems.com]

Features
GreenPower UPS
Intelligent LCD Diagnostic Display: The innovative front panel LCD can be used to display detailed information on the UPS status and current power conditions. The LCD displays 11 different diagnostics: Input voltage level, Output voltage level, Automatic voltage regulator, Runtime estimate, Load level, Power frequency, On battery, Overload, Fault, Battery capacity, and Silent mode.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) - Incoming AC power is electronically regulated for dips and spikes AVR takes this irregular AC power and converts it into a consistent Sinewave so sensitive electronic equipment can achieve its optimal performance.

EMI/RFI - Provides shielding against electromagnetic interference & radio frequency signals. Most commonly, this is used to prevent line noise or “humming” that occurs over telephone lines or stereo electronics.
Transformer-spaced Outlets - Widely spaced outlets allow you to conveniently add large transformer-based plugs without compromising the utility of other outlets.


USB Connectivity - HID compliant USB port enables full integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.


PowerPanel PE ™ Smart Management Software – In event of a power outage, PowerPanel PE will not only save your open files and will also “Hibernate” your PC to increase the run-time on the UPS unit. PowerPanel is quickly and easily installed on any Windows-based PC and is designed to utilize minimal system resources. Diagnostic screens give immediate visuals of the UPS’s status, and also include the following features: Silent operation mode, configurable system notifications, automatic self tests, adjustable high/low voltage warnings, event/data logging, and scheduled shutdowns.


LED Indicators - LED status lights indicate Power-On and wiring faults.
Audible Alarms - Audible tones identify when the unit is running off battery power, unit overloads and low battery.

not the same model poster

,,,,,

OP's original post clearly explains that the actual model # from manufacturer is different than the costco model #. Costco is known for using different model numbers for electronics at the request of the manufacturers. The CST1300AL and CP1350AVRLCD appear to be identical based on the display and the specs Costco lists on their site.

That is correct. Also, even though this is actually a repost. I am very thankful as it has been 3+ months since the last post of this and have been unsure if it was still sold there. I have been debating reactivating my CostCo membership as mine is 8 miles away from me(a long distance in a college town). I think this has convinced me. TU + Rep.

You guys think this will run a 50" plasma and receiver? I have one for my htpc (850AVR), but it pretty much just does the HTPC, xbox, and blu-ray.

What would the point be in doing that? To condition the line or so you can watch TV for 1 extra minute when the power goes out. lol

Two reasons: If the power is off for less than 30 seconds you are not affected. If it is more than 30 seconds, you can see to cleanly shut off the thin-client or DVD player you are using to watch content. My thin-client loops and tries to reconnect to the server when it is powered off. I need the power button on the remote to be hit within 3 seconds when it displays the menu or it starts up again. Also, if it loses power or the switch on the device itself is used, it has to reload drivers on start-up.

That's worth $80? Seems like you might be too lazy ;)

I have one of these, saved my PC after recent brown outs which fried some other stuff in the apartment. The UPS itself died after a while, and replacement was hassle free. With 2 emails I had a shipping label to send back the defective unit and a replacement on the way.

I have 5 UPC's, IMHO it is cheap insurance. I have one on each of my 3 home theater (AKA TV) setups. One more for desktop computer, router, monitor etc., and the last one for Ooma Hub, Modem, and 2 cordless telephone systems. The reason they warranty $25,000 of connected equipment failure, is that is about as likely as the connected equipment getting struck directly by lightning.

I was hoping: 1.) this would clean the power from my generator and (2.) this would give me a minute to run out to the garage when the breaker trips and get it back online before everything shuts down. The circuit my entertainment center is on is also in my kitchen, and while I know that isn't ideal because it occasionally trips, I can't afford to change that around right now.

Now will you answer my question? :rolleyes:

note: some power supplies require PFC/pure sine wave when running on battery.
if u have one, u'll need Cyberpower's PFC Sinewave Series vs Intelligent LCD Series, which uses simulated sine wave when running on battery
e.g. 1350va model = CP1350PFCLCD (PFC/pure sine) vs CP1350AVRLCD (simulated)

To answer your question: yes, absolutely. Even an older plasma with high power draw and a high end receiver will get a solid 5 to 10 minutes on this unit if that is all you have connected to the battery backup portion.

Thanks and imaginary reps! ;)

No problem and imaginary "your welcome".

Thats the problem I keep running into. Anyone have this with a Corsair HX series PSU?

Thanks OP

Yes it will. I have the same unit I purchase from costco couple years ago (which I'd started a thread on back in 2011 when Costco first started carrying this UPS). It is powering my 65" plasma TV, an HTPC with 4 HDD and cablecard tuner, and high end Denon receiver. The point is to protect the equipment, not to run it. My HTPC is set to power down after two minutes of being on UPS power.

It will run all of the above for about 5-8 minutes, provided the TV is not on a pure white screen.

PS I used this UPS to charge my cell phone and run my fish tank's filter when hurricane Sandy hit and I lost power for 6 days. Not continuously of course. Ran it on and off and it lasted the 6 days. I have two of them.

Same here. This thing has been posted at least a couple times before, but I've yet to see the PFC version on sale, which is the one I need.

I have one of these with a corsair HX1200 psu, works just fine

I have this model hooked up to a PC with a PFC type power supply, and have found that as long as it's set up to power everything down in 1 minute, there is no problem. The issue occurs when it's on battery power, not when there is low or high voltage where the AVR circuitry kicks in. Many people have temporary power blips (less than 1 minute) and for that, this will really help.

I run a APC J25 model with a 55" LED TV, Yamaha HTR-7065, Panny BD and cablebox. It won't hold it for more than a few minutes but as said, it protects them from brownouts and gives me a chance to switch them off..

Living in Tampa Bay and being subjected to TECO's regular brown-outs, this is an absolute must. I lost a 3 month old LCD Tv a few years back as TECO subjected me to 3 succesive brownouts in 2 minutes. At the 3rd brownout, the TV's PSU gave up. Luckily Philips replaced it under warranty.

The LCD TV and HTB unit in my bedroom are on a same J25. Both gotten when WorstBuy had them for $99.

I rather replace a $99 UPS than $1500 worth of electronic equipment. With TECO's track record, almost everything electronic in the house is on one UPS or another.

While not a "pure" sine wave generator, their emulation tech is advanced enough to not damage APFC power supplies. Solid units. I use the 1500VA version on an HX1050 Gold.

hasn't it been this price for the past several years?

FYI the battery in a UPS will wear out, usually after 2-3 years, but they are replaceable. This should be common knowledge, but just in case...

This is the Costco Regular Price All time i have 2 of these

Yes, It is at this price for months since I look at it.

The APC J25 is great for HT use. In fact, the deal you got from BB was probably posted by me. It's been the ONLY deal I ever posted. LOL

* As long as you don't try to run the Active PFC for longer than a couple of minutes on the UPS and only when neccessary; meaning: under proper usage.

I got one in January 2012 and the other one last month from BB when they had it at that price again. Based on my experiences with the 1st one I decided to upgrade my bedroom setup from a APC BE550 to a J25.

My main workstation UPS just died. Guess I better make a trip to Costco this week and get thet Cyberpower one. Beats the Tripplite 550 for $40 at Staples. We use the Tripplite 350 at work ( we buy them by the dozen literally and I swear they don't last as long as a comparable APC. Also they don't have a removable battery making disposal more of a hassle.

I wish Belkin had not left the UPS biz. Being in Tampa Bay, mine generally died within 2.5 years so well within the warranty period. Belkin would send me a new one for the cost of me shipping the old one back. Most of th time the new ones would be a bit powerful as well. :)

I have this hook up in my room and the other day i turn on the AC unit with TV and pc running as well. This thing started to beep with an alert then 30 later it shuts off. why is that? my unity power never went out.
