No one's going to be running an A/C or refrigerator off of a 1000VA battery backup. Not only would it only last a few minutes, the compressor starting up would be too much amperage and it would cut out immediately. Sine wave used to be important for PC power supplies a couple decades ago. Power supplies are built much better nowadays and aren't effected by simulated sine wave. The only things someone might need a pure sine wave UPS for these days are sensitive medical equipment, like CPAP machines, etc. The audiophile community likes to spend money on pure sine wave UPS's and power conditioners, but they've been proven redundant many times, as any decent amplifier already has power conditioning built-in.
The answer is a somewhat annoying "it depends," but generally speaking, yeah, it should be totally fine for any modern desktop computer power supply. No power supply provides AC mains power to the parts; they convert it converts it to DC. In so doing, they have systems for power filtration built in, because the power coming from the grid is never (okay, rarely) 100% perfect.

The primary drawbacks in reality are that the PSU may run less efficiently and generate somewhat more heat. However, in a situation where you'd want a relatively low-capacity UPS like this, it's probably to have time to save your work and shut down or you expect the power will come back in <5min, in which case the efficiency loss is likely to make a big difference.

In other words: I'd be more worried about a power surge or sudden loss of power causing damage to your computer than I would be about a simulated sine wave.

That said: this does not extend to all devices! If you're thinking of putting HiFi audio equipment, machinery, medical devices, or, like, a PDP-11 behind a simulated sine wave UPS: don't.

Quote from mser4fun :
Power went off for a day and therefore, I didn't have internet. To add insult to injury, cell phones weren't working either which I assume was because the power went off for cell towers as well.

I just want to use this for the cable modem and my router. How many hours will this give me in the event of a power shut off?
45 minutes approximately. There is an app that used to come with the old ones, that would tell you the battery status and approximate backup time if the power went out. I had my cable modem and router plugged in. These all last about an hour for those two devices. It's not a long-term power replacement. It's best if the power goes out briefly and then comes back on. You don't have to wait for 5 minutes while the cable modem reconnects.

PRO TIP: If you have older models, where the battery is bad, you don't need to throw it out and spend another $100. Buy the replacement batteries from EBAY. You can watch a youtube video on how to install the batteries (moving the harness to the new replacement batteries(replacement batteries are often very common ones). It's easy and cheap.

Ok there is no shipping and the closest Office Depot is 4 hours away, so is this a YMMV type of deal?
I wasn't able to order it at all, for me it was forcing me to do a store pick up, tried mobile, desktop computer.

I just tried Best Buy price match and they honored it, so I ordered through them, getting it on April 1st.

Thank you. Got two UPS in two different orders + 100% back in rewards batteries. Any idea when you are supposed to get the visa card in the email?

Edit: Looks like 3 business days. Here's what it says:

Within 3 business days you will receive an email with a redemption link from [email protected].


Given that this is a visa card, this effectively makes the UPS $88 - $20 = $68. Thanks.

AVR in a consumer UPS is not very good. I has two states. Buck or boost. Some don't boost until 90volts. Then It boost to 110. Buck. I have one that bucks at 120volts to bring it down to 110. My power goes up to 123 frequently. The Cyberpowers, which can be adjusted don't kick in until 130s. 1
Double conversion UPS' have perfectly flat voltage output constantly. They are expensive.
Some UPS's have problems running off a generator due to harmonic distortion. Some of the Cyberpower pure sinewaves do.

Quote from GregryS :
It really matters if you run a compressor; say on a refrigerator... The stepped wave causes this small compressor to lug. A pure sine wave will not cause a compressor to lug. So if you have a window air conditioning unit as well I would run a pure sine wave on it as well.
"This Samsung oven does a really bad job at smelting bricks of lead ore."

Makes as much since as complaining about a computer battery backup's ability to run an electric motor.....even if it can in theory.

I have used APC UPS for years (15+). I currently have three APC UPS, all simulated sine.
APC1 - Sony 55" LED TV+STRDN1080 AVR running 5.1.2, + Switch, Nvidia Shield + other media devices
APC2 - Gaming PC with GTX1080ti, 27" monitor, some peripherals.(Currently displays 40-60 min power while browsing internet, 1350VA)
APC3 - Synology 4 drive NAS, modem, wifi, switches, POE devices, etc.

Have never had any issue with my devices connected to APC UPS.
Whole point for me is to provide enough power for me to switch them off properly, and to protect against brownouts/surges.
The other day we had a wind storm and I could hear my UPS' switching over to battery, all day. Glad I had that extra protection.

i decided to wait Office depot has the worst customer service and website and will blame you for not doing the order correctly. I even had several generated order numbers only to find out they were never processed and that my paypal has pending charges , what a PIA. Store managers are awful , tried to get them to price match and that was like dealing with some dude in a dark alley or pulling teeth.
Sorry office depot but you SUCK with a capital S

I will wait for a real vendor that can process orders or price match in the future the 900 w with sinewave , theyy usually go for 145

Anyone receive the $20 visa card via email? I know it says it takes a few days. I received next day delivery of my UPS (using it now, seems fine), and my filler item is due on Monday (some scotch tape).

A UPS is designed to keep your computer on long enough so you can turn it off safely or the software it comes with does this for you.

A car battery with an AC inverter works as a portable battery. Inverters are $15 & up.

I use my Ryobi battery with an inverter to keep my router on a few hours.

Should last hours. I use a smaller one on my router, switch, and wifi ap and that lasts hours.

Quote from daviddyer :
You can try to power up your modem and router DIRECTLY with 12V battery. Most modems uses 12V any way. Some routers uses 12V while some uses 19.5V. I used a 12V battery to power up my TM-AC1900 and it worked perfectly.

This is much more efficient than the 12V (or 24V) DC --->120V AC -->12V / 19.5V DC procedure and saved a UPS.
The only reason I use a UPS is so my security system can't be disabled by cutting my power. I have a simple Blink system that runs off batteries, so adding a UPS to my internet modem and router keeps my whole system up in a power outage. I would need the functions of the UPS for this. Unfortunately, this deal is out of stock for delivery or I would probably get one.
