The biggest "con" with any of the modern UPS units, at least that I'm aware of, is they still use some sort of lead-acid chemistry battery. This means even the very best of them will only last 3-5 years, sometimes even less than that. Why the manufacturers of these devices haven't switched over to the much more voltage-stable lithium iron-phosphate battery chemistry is beyond me. They must own stock in a lead recycling facility, or something?

I just found out that this unit will apparently support the CyberPower RCCARD100 which can be installed in the removable card bay on back and provides a lan port for web app based control. So this would be a huge advantage over the APC sine 1500va unit imo.

I have a router and modem connected … they don’t take up too much power and the battery last like 2.5 hours. Is there any way I can make the battery last longer by messing with the setup on the display?

Would have been nice to see a photo of the rear output with the number of sockets out for devices and whether US and Euro/Schuko outlets are available.

does this revision model have the yellow glue issue that can cause a fire like the older ones? I have the same model as well.

This thing is a BEAST! I just got it yesterday for my rtx 3080 12gb gaming rig and its handiling it like a CHAMP! :)

I was really hoping to see an oscillograph image of the output voltage on battery power. The issue I have is that I've seen multiple contemporary datasheets and Cyberpower supplied user documents for the exact SAME model where the spec for this parameter varies using four different descriptions to describe the output waveform. In particular, the "PFC Sinewave" datasheet seemed written in a way that they could claim it was "certified" to support Active Power Factor Correction PSUs, but never actually came right out and said it was a "pure" sinewave anywhere in the document. That was not reassuring. 1) "Pure Sinewave" 2) "Adaptive Sinewave" 3) "Sinewave" 4) "PFC Sinewave" An image of the output voltage waveform on battery power would really help.

I use this at a remote location to keep it equipment powered during intermittent power outages. Unfortunately this unit will not shut down in time during an extended outage to keep the battery's from being damaged. Ask me how I know.😀

i have this one its fantastic had 4 power surges / blackouts only thing i lost was my internet when this occurred.

3:25 That's because it is. Those printers use your standard, generic USB 2.0 type B connectors as does the CP1500PFCLCD. It's a fairly common type of USB connector for for single purpose hardware to use.

How do I update the firmware of the unit? I see firmware listed on the site under software but not sure if any are applicable for this specific unit. Under the product details of the Cyberpower site I do not see any firmware listed for the specific unit. Just want to make sure I am up to date if updating the firmware is even possible on this. Thanks!

How much noise does it make? If I put this in my bedroom will it be annoying?

Please tell me, does this UPS have GREEN POWER technology? This function shuts down the UPS when there is a low load connected to it. If this feature exists, can it be disabled?

Can I run my WiFi when power outages for days?

Thank you so much. Appreciate the info!

Great vid. You helped me decide to get this unit and after a few months I love the device... however: The software is total garbage. If you don't need the auto-shut down feature (the only real reason to use their software) than you don't need to install their software. If you want to monitor UPS loads and outputs this can all be done with Hardware Info. Hardware info can access all the device data through USB connection without needing the CyberPower software installed (because as I mentioned the cyberPower software is junk). The cyber power monitoring sofware eats up WAY more resources than it has any right too and it has caused system hangs for me.

I found this one for sale on facebook for $60. Is it worth it. ? I have a solar setup so it be nice to hook it up to the batteries 😂.

hi guyz i need to verify i learned that APC ups has a software that turns off the desktop computer when battery is nearly used up which is very handy for me because i might be at work when power outage might happen. now does this cyberpower has this software feature too ? tia

Can you measure how much power this uses while charging?

As long as the ups is plugged in is it okay to turn it off on the switch whenever youre not using your devices

Juat got with this unit how did you go wbout running a self test? Through the software or just pull the plug from the wall?

Any information on running whole house generator when power is out, some models wont power up on generator some will?

How do you find the firware for UPS? I cant find it anywhere

is it actually pure sinewave tho? in the manual it says its adaptive and other people have said that it is NOT a pure sinewave so you cannot plug appliances into it.

How load is the fan and can i plug it on inkjet printer

I have a computer with a power of 1200 watts and some RGB lighting devices. Do you think this device is suitable for me??? Usually the electricity fluctuates and goes a little higher and lower than the standard

Will it come back on when the power comes back?

What if my PC guzzles up more than 1000W? I mean, it doesn't do it all the time but during certain workloads it's very much capable of shooting above that.

Questions 1. If this UPS is fully charged and turned off and is plugged out why does it make the beep sound and won’t come on? It only comes on when it’s plugged into a outlet 2. Should I keep this plugged in in my outlet always? Would it harm the battery and its life cycle? Or do I need to unplug and turn off when not in use? 3. How to use this device to make it lost for atleast 6 years? Because the last time I had one of these it’s only lost alittle over a year

Hi, can you configure this ups to shutdown your pc automatically (lets say when there is 25% ups battery left) in case of a power outage?

There is a new model, Cyberpower PC 1500AVRLCD3.What can you tell me about it, or anyone who purchased one.

How long will this unit power a 850w power supply- pc with 1 monitor?

I have a NVR connected to this unit can i remotely reboot my dvr?

why is it beeping?

Hi there. I bought a second hand OLS1000EC, which is roughly the same . Works like a charm. Only thing is .... The fan is always on ( very loud industrial 80mm, delta style...), noise is simply unbearable. Googled, seems normal... Fan replacement is very tricky to say the least . So on your model can you confirm that during normal operation ( othee than power shortage) this unit is silent with no fan running permanently? 😅

Hi. I just got this, i got a question. How long do i have to charge the ups before it can fully run my gaming pc?

These catch fire easily still like previous models ?

How noisy are the fans on this UPS and do they turn off?

wondering if this bad boy can hold a 4090 with ryzen 9 7950x with a 1300w psu...

3:20 is that usb square connector? I don't have that in my pc nor I ever see one in any pc.

you should be using power panel business

if china goes big then the response will big so protect your system is important and apc cyber back up power needed but any way it kept everything stable and prevent extreme surge

7:57 what case is that?

i love them ok but you buy inverter 8000 watts have up 6 12 volts battery 200 amp lithium and sola panel change battery run much long than those the only thing that can run your fridge stove heater A/C your hold house washer dish water dryer etc ok i have 1100 watts inverter will out do that ok tell me how volt and how watts am putting and how battery i have ok

Who are still using coaxial this days???

This brand is a fire hazard! After about 5 minutes of battery mode, the transformer over heats and starts smoking and lucky that I was testing it so I was able to shut it down before it caught fire. No heat dissipation for the transformer that puts out 900w! Cheap and unsafe design!
