Where can you get a 1kW sine wave with LiFePO4 for a few dollars more?

Great deal. This is 1000W, not 900W like some similar units.

I recently got one of these, and it has been great.

In the age of increased PC power budgets...that extra 100W has saved me from hearing the old (not repurposed to the entertainment center) unit's overload alarm!

Where do you use them all?
Anywhere there's an expensive or important electronic device plugged in, I'd prefer to have it behind a UPS. Computers, TVs, network gear, etc all get one.

Thanks, in for one.

I buy probably one of these a year every time they go on sale. Slowly getting all the important areas covered with a UPS, and staggering the battery lifecycles too Smilie

The older models (with two USB-A ports on the front and a non-color screen) had an issue with the adhesive becoming conductive on the circuit boards after a number of years. The new models (with USB-C on the front and color screen) use a different adhesive material.
i need to fix the backlight on the screen on my older ones. any ideas?

I've never understood the "1500VA" concept and how that converts to wattage. Can you expect about 700Wh capacity when the power goes out?

Based on some comments, this is decent/good UPS device. I havent used one before, could someone explain the pros and cons?

I live in an area that has high thunderstorm activity in the spring, summer seasons. If I put my TV, Desktp PC... I avoid surge from a power outage and safely shut them down.

Is that the main benefit? Are there other uses? Thanks for any advice/tips.

does this model have a setting to enable auto power restore after power loss and full battery depletion?

I bought one of these units on the rainforest in 2015 for 139.95 pretax. If I recall correctly the unit lasted roughly 3 years. None of my Cyberpower units have lasted an exceptionally long time beyond the warranty, but they did handle my areas power blips with no issues that I can remember.

After looking into it a bit more around 2022, I ended up switching to APC as my research was showing the quality of components and internals were possibly a bit higher although I'm unsure if that is just anecdotal. I have also heard good things about Eaton, but have no personal experience.

I am currently using an APC BR1500MS2 for my computer rig that was purchased Nov 2022, and it works flawlessly as well. My load is pretty sizable at this point: rtx 3090, 1600 psu, over ten externals in a PDU, 15 internal drives (ssd/nvme/hdd)

Of note, I purchased a BN1500M2 very late 2025, which is a stepped simulated sine wave version, to split the load off my computer setup. The BN model could not handle my areas power merely attaching a very light load (externals, total load less than 325W) without throwing F02 errors pretty frequently. I sent the unit out for RMA and they shipped another unit that exhibited the same symptoms. I ended up replacing it with a BR1500MS2 (pure sine wave version) and have not had any issues since then. FWIW, APC customer service took great care of me.

Nevertheless, this seems like a good price for what appears to be a pure sine wave model and not a simulated stepped version. 50 dollar increase from 11 years ago in todays market with the chip and electronics supply crunches happening all around is a fair shake to me.

Yup, pretty much the main benefit. You're just adding a layer of protection for your devices.A couple of nice pros is that you can plug in your modem and router and still have internet while the power is out (We have terrible cell service so that's the biggest benefit for us), and you can connect your pc to it to automatically shut down if the battery hits x%.

Thanks for the feedback. I saw some say that the lifespan of this particular unit is 3 years and then people change batteries or buy another unit. Is that normal for UPS devices? What happens if I keep using them longer than their typical life span... say 5-7years? Would it just drain faster or would it not provide surge protection anymore?

Yes but feasibly only enough to get to the closest save point and to close out the game cleanly. In a gaming scenario, GPU will absolutely drain UPS like no other.
Seriously- I lost my Stellar Blade save game data due to my over-confidence in the run-time estimate.

I run mine until the battery needs to be replaced; for my current batch (all APC) it's been 9 years or more before I had to replace a battery.

You will have less time on battery backup as the batteries age and lose capacity. The batteries can last 8+ years if you keep the unit cool and don't load it too heavily. Though when they get that old the batteries tend to swell and become a PITA to remove.
