Community Reviews

This CyberPower 1500VA UPS is a solid fit for keeping desktop gear and network equipment alive through blips, dips, and short outages. The AVR and battery backup are useful for protecting electronics, and the unit can handle surgey loads better than expected, even miter saw impulses in one setup. The main tradeoff is the simulated sine wave output, which can be fine for many PCs but has caused lag spikes and compatibility concerns with some power supplies and networking gear. Battery replacement is also part of the ownership cost, though replacement cells are available.

  • Desktop builders using modern switching power supplies, because AVR is less important and the unit still covers low and high voltage periods.

  • Networked workstation setups that need clean output, because pure sine wave models stopped lag spikes and play better with modern power supplies.

  • Home office PC owners needing ride-through for brief outages, because it has protected gear against power blips and surge damage.

  • Tool and printer users with high surge loads, because the UPS can handle large impulse draws when its surge rating matches the device.

  • People expecting long runtime from a small backup unit, because battery replacements are frequent and runtime can be only minutes.

  • Users who want pure sine wave output for sensitive electronics, because simulated sine wave can cause buzz and lag spikes.

  • Server owners who need detailed power monitoring, because this model may not output much consumption or voltage information.

  • High-load backup users planning lithium replacement batteries, because SLA-replacement lithium packs may not handle much beyond about 200W.

About $50-60 more for the pure sine wave model when it's on sale. Please don't bash what you don't professionally understand.
What "professionals" base spending 50% more on terms like "play nice"...."supposedly"...and "chances."

Imagine if my doctor, mechanic, even drywall guy used those words. I would instantly know they were far from a PrOfEsSiOnAl. LOL.

Like I said, you do you. But I for one ain't throwing away $50-60 because a monster is supposedly under my bed based on a 3rd hand account gleaned from a reddit thread that he doesn't play nice with the gremlin who lives behind the sofa, and I don't want to take any chances Wink

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw this PC power supply totally blown out by a simulated-sine-wave UPS at Microcenter last night.

I guess it's pretty serious.

Is this the lowest quality 1500VA/900W one? There seems to be several models with the 1500VA/900W.

At double the price. And actually "plays better" or or the hive mind seems to assume it does regardless of any objective evidence? These conversations always tend to devolve into hypotheticals and antidotal accounts.And what exactly is a consumer 'modern electronic' that doesn't tolerate a standard UPS? Last I checked PSU tech hadn't exactly made many major leaps the last decade or two. Not to mention their power output is far better than many people enjoy on the grid yet those same electronics were designed to survive being raw dogged without any line conditioning.
Had issues with a non pure sine wave causing internet to have lag spikes. Replaced with pure sine wave and no issues.

Did it only happen when the UPS was on battery? Because that's the only time it would matter.

Here's the model I'm using in my Cyberpower 1500VA (expired Slickdeal deal, but read the comments about reduced charging voltage.
It's a mixed bag, lower charging voltage profile means the Lithium battery only charges to 90-95% (shorter run-time, but that reduces stress on the internal cells that gives them an overall longer life-span, meaning fewer battery replacements)

Might I also suggest reading the comments about how those batteries (like most LiFePO4s meant as SLA replacements) are only designed to handle a fraction of the current that UPS can draw. To keep within the specs, you wouldn't be able to load the UPS much beyond 200W.

To be fair that is anecdotal at best, some examples of what could have been going on;
-a defective UPS, nothing to do with the sine wave it was outputting.
-you may have solved the issue of a loose wire / connection by removing everything then reassembling. (<- major possibility)
-your router / modem may have been the issue AND your UPS was adding to the problem, the modem being less tolerant of out of spec power, which your UPS was delivering. The new UPS aligned better with that preference, so the problem went away. Again, nothing wave related. ('stacking tolerances' is the concept I am alluding to)
-your perceived internet issues may have been completely unrelated (<- major possibility)
-like someone else mentioned, if you had a 'Line‑Interactive' UPS like this one, the only time your equipment would even see the sine wave would be during an outage, and during an outage, having "spikes" to internet is completely expected and would be nearly impossible to blame on your UPS. The other 99.999% of the time, your internet equipment is going to be feeding off grid power so again, your UPS is not going to matter.

FWIW, if your modem / router cannot tolerate ANY properly functioning UPS....it is the problem That is the weak link unless the UPS was defective, then we are talking about a different problem. Full Stop.

That's an outstanding point. And during an outage, even if your internet was still working (mine normally is), the quality of the connection could still be impacted by the event that caused the power loss, the fact the fiber / cable provider is also likely running their equipment off backup power, and the changes of internet use during the outages, all the equipment connected constantly connecting / disconnecting as power turns on / off. Way too many factors to try and blame the UPS for. Especially since I highly doubt dude was troubleshooting his connection while the grid was down Wink

Another possibility is if the UPS had Ethernet protection that was only designed to handle Fast Ethernet (100mbps). That can cause issues with Gigabit Ethernet, even if everything still links at full speed.

I did consider that too. The "spikes" (actually drops) might be caused by too many devices trying exceed that limit, everything works fine during low usage, say sub 100mbps, but suddenly bottlenecks when it exceeds that...aka when you'd notice any dips like online gaming or streaming.

Way too many factors to instantly blame on the sine wave type.

Bluetti elite 100 for my gaming setup which I got in an August sale for about 300. Elite 300 for my servers. Ecoflow DPU for whole house. FridgePowers for my fridges/freezer.
Thanks, I might need to look into this. I'm guessing it can't handle a gaming pc setup with a laser printer, but I don't think many things can handle a laser printer along with a pc setup. Should be able to handle a rtx 5090 with an odyssey g9 looks like!

If you check your printers spec, should list what is max running ampacity is and max draw or max surge is. Match that with the max surge output of whatever battery you are looking at. I think mine can handle surges to 3600w. Handles my miter saw impulses without issue.
