This listing is for model CP1500PFCLCD which is NOT simulated sine wave output, but true sine wave.

Its most useful if you have power that flickers on and off occasionally, so your computer will keep running like normal. If you have extended power outages, it gives you time to shut things down gracefully and save anything you may have been working on, but this is less essential now to people who are doing everything in the cloud anyway, compared to decades ago when everything was saved on your own computer. Its also helpful for delivering clean power, so that your electronics hold up better over time and arent subjected to difficult fluctuations.

It's not really meant to keep a computer running for hours is it? Just keep it on for a few minutes to save and close programs and shut down properly?


Why do you need to keep replacing surge protectors?
And batteries for these shouldn't be $150 every three years. They're like $45 I think. And I have seen some Gel batteries (instead of lead acid) that claim to last 5-15 years.

Yeah I was wondering this myself. Not ecoflow specifically, but just in general using a Li-Ion battery backup as a UPS seems like it has much better bang for your buck.
UPS kicks in automatically for any voltage drop. Battery backup requires manual switchover and can't protect against voltage drops. I can't believe I'm actually having to spell this out.

I have an APC UPS Battery Backup Pro and it's only 900W (1500VA). It has a 5090 system along with a pair of KEF Q1 Meta speakers, 4x monitors, WiiM Amp Ultra, PS5 Pro and more all plugged into mine and have had them running at the same time and it works without issues Smilie
Yeah the problem is when you lose power. Runtime with that load is probably 3-5 min max, if that.

Where are folks using these? I stopping paying $150 every three years because they never seemed to make a difference. In fact several times I had power outages near the end of the internal batteries life, and they shut right down with no protection at all. Now I just buy good quality surge protectors and replace them every 5 years.

Yup - that's fine though with me. It gives me enough time to properly shut down the system.

1500va with the 9ah batteries is not enough as Pcs are more power hungry.. need to make 2000vah with 12ah batteries affordable consumer grade for this price

Get a small UPS and plug it into an Ecoflow. Bam, best of all worlds.

I'd not bother with a traditional UPS anymore. Get a cheapo 1 or 2kwh chinese unit.

Same boat - pretty much like clockwork these are dead at 3 years and are working 100% then 0% with no warning. I like having something like this so I can save what I'm doing and then gracefully shut things down. I can then have it run my internet/router for a long time and hopefully the power is back on.

Still... no matter which brand I try, it's almost like they have a timer built in to quit working.

FWIW, my CyberPower 1500VA is dead right now. It's right at 3 years old.

LifePo4 power stations have made these old school UPS's obsolete. I have retired and replaced at least 10 lead acid UPS's this year with 7 power stations, If I lose power now, I can run connected devices for 10 times more hours, No need to shutdown anything. My one power station can run my modem, router, mini PC, a few USB devices, and monitor for at least 30 hours.
Another 1024watt hour station can run my AMD 9950X3D PC for at least 5 hours.

Soon will have a Pecron L5000FLP to power the whole house to go with my 11k watt inverter generator. Still thinking about getting a rack of server batteries and a 12K+ inverter.

The future is here. Don't buy something that will only power devices for 5 min. They are not made to run after power goes out. They were made to safely turn off a computer. Running them low damages the lead acid batteries very quickly.

I am writing this on a HP all in one 24" desktop connected to a Bluetti 288 watt hour power station that is unplugged, PC is using ~15 watts with 10-14 hours of power left. Show a UPS that can do that.
All power station have UPS mode. Most are less than 10ms now.

Had 2 of these fail within a month of opening the box. Quality for what needs to be a rock solid UPS is garbage.
