APC UPS 1500VA Sine Wave UPS Battery Backup, BR1500MS2 Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, 10 Outlets, (2) USB Charger Ports

This UPS works very well for my use, powering all the equipment I use on a daily basis. In fact, the power from the UPS seems cleaner than what I get from the grid, even though it's not really conditioning the power, that I'm aware of. I'm merely going off the fact that my analogue receiver's transformer humm is a little quieter and sounds ever so slightly smoother than it usually does, something most people likely wouldn't notice. I've also had no ground loop humming while connecting or disconnecting devices to my mixer, or while using the inverter in the UPS itself.After receiving the UPS, I was able to figure out where the battery door is and open it to connect the battery, then I connected it to power for a couple hours with no load on it, allowing the battery to fully charge as indicated by the UPS, though it likely still had several hours to go until a complete charge was achieved. I then disconnected the UPS from power, receiving the pleasant sound of four beeps every thirty seconds that will probably wake me up at night, a good thing, since I'll transfer the UPS from its battery to another external power source if the power is out longer than a few minutes.After verifying that this worked correctly, I connected my serge protector to the UPS after connecting it to power, which has my equipment connected. One Asus laptop, an audio mixer, wireless headphones, two USB hubs, one of which isn't being used, an old analogue receiver and equalizer for my sound system, a TV which is usually off, an Apple TV, a modem for internet, a computer for my router, a router for a Wi-fi hot spot, and a USB-C charger for my MacBook Pro.Under normal circumstances if I'm not using the receiver, though it's usually on and waiting to be used, I'm probably pulling about 150 watts from the UPS. According to APC's information and calculator, this will probably provide around 45 minutes of run time, so this should give me plenty of time to wait and see if the power is going to stay off, and if so, switch to a larger battery to power the UPS itself. I did test this, and it does work, at least, with a pure signwave inverter. If I need more runtime, I can extend it by powering off everything I'm not using. My receiver and equalizer, for instance.So far, everything is very stable, I've had no difficulties, and I'm anticipating a battery replacement in about three to five years, typical with an SLA battery, as long as you're not deep cycling it and keeping it on a well maintained floating charge most of the time.

Product is very easy to setup and instructions are very clear. The options on information displayed give me the data I am looking for and I included pics on what it shows. This is used for my gaming PC and subwoofer. We get some power fluctuations in my area, so my use for this is to protect from power spikes, as well as battery power for short periods so my PC doesn't shut down unexpectedly. I have a generator and other portable power packs to run home power in case of a full blackout. In the 24 hours this has been up I already have 2 events registered on it (One was my testing it by unplugging the UPS to let it run for a bit on battery power to validate the 30 minutes it estimated, and the other is a valid event for power fluctuation from city power). I am very happy with this so far!
