They were this price over a year ago. I have two of them; no issues. I like them.

Seems to come for $60 every few months from Costco. It was this price early July as well:

https://slickdeals.net/f/15141154-cyberpower-le850g-ups-battery-backup-with-surge-protection-59-99

I got one and it works fine. Not a sine wave output but fine for consumer electronics. Battery replaceable. Not tested AVR but does make an audible buzz when on battery. Alarm can be silenced in software or button (on demand or generally).

One thing to consider is that this has a very low power factor (0.54), which means that you can run a lot of smaller devices for a long time but you cannot really plug in something too high powered like a server or gaming PC or even 2 of the newer gen game systems actually gaming at the same time.

But for this price (especially on sale), that's not bad. Plus I called call Costco and asked about how the warranty is handled it is through Costco so if it blows in less than 3 years, you can exchange it at Costco and don't have to deal with shipping the unit back to CyberPower.

Can you attach this to a PC and have it automatically shutdown if it's on battery power?

This or an APC unit around the same price like this one?

I know this one is a bit cheaper with more wattage but which brand is better?
APC's definitely the better brand but the equivalent UPS with 850 VA is $105.

The Amazon extended warranty worked well for my last APC - I got a 4 year warranty and my UPS died about 6 months before that and they gave me a prorated refund of about 60% the UPS value. After 3 1/2 years, not bad!

In my experience, the battery will die sooner or later. Can I return this to Costco when the battery dies?
That would be dishonest and an abuse of their return policy as that is normal product life. but you can try doing anything you want and they may take it to make you happy.

Why are UPS not adverised with both a power (watts/VA) and an energy (watt-hours) rating? I care less about the maximum power rating and more about how long it can sustain but you never see those specs advertised.

Comment was talking about how TVs and some electronics are excluded from Costco's generous 'return anytime' policy, but this item might not trigger this return policy limitation.

In the past, you were able to return anything to Costco no matter how long ago you purchased the item, including big-ticket electronics like TVs, monitors, computers, laptops, etc. However, people abused the hell out of that (for example: they would buy TVs then return them a year or two later and then used that returned money to buy the latest model of that TV), so Costco removed those electronics from their return policy. Presently, you can still return all other Costco purchases at any time, but returns of TVs and some specific electronics types are now limited to 90 days after purchase.

The original post you replied to might've been inadvertently ambiguous about warranty/return policy because of the run-on sentence.
Speaking from experience, I literally returned a Cyberpower UPS two weeks ago to Costco. The thing kept tripping so I brought it back with no box. I didn't remember when I bought it so they looked it up. Turns out I bought it in 2012! They checked with a manager and said I was good to go. They returned it and I bought another one in stock that day. I guess time flies lol.

Quote from Lillybulldog :
I need one of these for my modem and separate r7000 nighthawk wireless router, I'm torn because some ups unit reviews state the upc shuts off because power draw is too low and doesn't sense power. Also some ups instructions on Amazon are compatible with some modems and routers. Googling the issue has some article on checking your power draw on the plugs and backs of the modem and making sure they are compatible with the minimum power or somethjng…..Seemed a bit confusing as I don't understand dc to ac and such, I just need my equipment protected and my cameras to to work.
A lot of UPS systems out there have at least some reviews of fire, burning up, sparking. It's only few out of the bunch of random units I've looked. I always click on the negative reviews to see if people's complaints about a product add up. One fire review or picture is enough to ruin any good review for me.
FYI, this is a general comment regarding UPS. I had one that was shutting down my Computer due to low voltage. I replaced with another brand new UPS and same issue. Called a local Electrical company and had my power lines checked and it turned out I had a neutral fault coming from the main power into the house. This is an underground line too. This is a very dangerous condition that could have led to burning my house burning down. Duke Power came out immediately and fixed it. Besides the UPS issue the only other sign was occasional lights flickering on a couple of outlets. Honestly, I probably would have ignored the flickering, it was only due to the UPS issue that I had it checked.

APC makes cheaper UPSes these days. The one you linked is "standby".
The Cyberpower in this thread is "line interactive" with AVR.
