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.

That's a good idea, but which do you use? Hard to find a power bank with enough wattage to handle a gaming setup and won't cost an arm, but love this idea.
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.

I mean all UPS have to simulate a sine wave... some do it better than others
Cyberpower makes a version of this with pure sine wave (resembling smooth wall outlet power). It plays much better with the modern electronics power supplies.

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.

I realize there is probably a Reddit thread or Facebook group with a ton of info on the question I'm about to ask, but I'm here now. Would a UPS/AVR like this be "essential" for electronics in a small town in Mexico that experiences semi-regular voltage dips and outages? I'm more worried about protecting the electronics than keeping them running for extended outages. I was leaning toward just surge protection, but Gemini made it sound like an AVR system was necessary.

For things like a desktop PC, I'd recommend a UPS, even one without AVR. AVR is meant to help with periods of continuous low/high voltage (and doesn't rely on the battery). Personally, I don't believe AVR is all that important anymore, as many modern devices use switching PSUs with a wide input range.

Yes, it has. There have been numerous changes in PSU technology. Old double forward, group regulated designs are now pretty much a thing of the past. Using one in a modern PC (which has very little 5V load) would have a good chance of throwing the voltages out of spec. Also, PC PSUs now have PFC (usually Active PFC), which supposedly doesn't always play nice with simulated sinewave (though I can't confirm how often this is true). 20 years ago, PFC was rare on PSUs sold in the US.

BTW, stepped-wave (AKA "simulated sinewave") is generally going to be far worse than what you're getting from the wall.

Still sounds like we are talking about a bunch of hypotheticals gleaned from 3rd party reddit opinions trying to justify their own purchases or UPS companies upselling higher tiers of equipment. Reminds me of the "SeNsItIvE ElEcTrOnIcS" line you always see in the generator threads.

We aren't talking about 100K lab equipment but consumer electronics that are built for most of the world to use....even 3rd world countries with crap power. Not to mention, the PSU of a computer is meant to very robust and half of its job is delivering clean power....even "5V." And since when did PSU's start dying all of a sudden within the last 20 years that we all need pure sine wave or the sun will explode?

But hey, if you want to pay double because of a "supposedly," made up "chances," and whatever "play nice" means....you do you.

I got tired of replacing my batteries every couple of years and the short Op time due to the smaller capacity so I went with one of those lifepo4 power banks. I have a bluetti elite that can run for hours vs 10 minutes and it only cost about 2x more. The power bank is also pure sine wave and can take solar panel inputs. Easier to integrate with my home assistant too.
@KevinC1977
Tell me more about what model lifepo4 you are using? I am also tired of replacing ups batteries that only last a year.

I don't know how much it matters, but if pure sinewave is the dealbreaker then there's an old Tripp Lite SMART1500SLT with pure sinewave for about $40 more on amazon. It doesn't have a screen but that's what I decided to grab instead, a few weeks ago.

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)

After years and dozens of these UPS units I have come to the conclusion they are just worthless. What does 15 minutes really do for you anyway? I moved to a Renogy UPS, 100AH Lithium, and 40A charger. Yes, it cost about $600, but it runs my 330W server and workstation stack, all my POE phones and WIFI, switches, everything. I get about 4 hours at full throttle. I can also add a solar charger next summer. I'm sure I've spent $3000+ on UPS units like this and their related batteries. These products need to shift to lithium, or just die.

CP1500PFCLCD, the pure sine wave model of this, was recently on sale for $190, and occasionally goes on sale for even less. For computer gear it would be a better choice. I have a couple of these at home, and they do require new batteries every 5-10 years, but it worked out well for protecting the gear against power blips and surge damage.

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.

I have a few of these and the batteries all died. Any recommendations on where to buy batteries or is it even worth it?
I just replaced a dozen in all my UPS from battery sharks. Insanely cheap. $15 per SP12-9 battery

and yet simu-sine works just fine in the end. You will get a slight buzz from PFC PSUs....and that's it. Don't overpay for Pure sine if you dont need to

I have 15 year old Cyberpowers that I've replaced the cells on every 5 years. $15 per cell from battery sharks. Lithium are not going to be fast enough to switch over with ATX hold up cap spec (and most PSUs dont meet the 12ms required time as it is)
