Review: Quietly effective. Keeps Mac and Peripherals running through power cuts. - UPDATE My UPS has given reliable service and kicked-in immediately when power failures occurred, keeping my computer and peripherals running long enough for me to complete my work and shut down. The unit has been completely reliable throughout. I recently needed to replace the battery and received excellent support in the UK from Schneider Electrics. Probably deserves 5 stars, but not tested for long enough or with enough power failures. I live in a small village where voltage fluctuations and power outages are more common than in urban areas. I decided I needed to protect my iMac, and bought the APC BR900GI based on reviews from different sources. It has been in use for a few weeks, and of course since installing it there have been no power outages to test it. I will need to update this review after the next black out. The unit is larger than I expected and is very solid and seems good quality. No IEC mains power supply cable was supplied with the UPS but luckily I had several spares that I could use. All outputs from the UPS are IEC. I could use one of the two male to female cable supplied with the UPS to replace my iMac's power cable., but I had to buy a separate IEC male plug to 4 way UK plug adapter to connect my peripherals. Setting up the unit was simple. The most difficult part was moving my desk to gain access to the cables and power sockets. My iMac is connected to the Master Outlet, and the 4 way adapter peripherals to the outlet controlled by the Master. When I turn off my iMac it automatically turns off all peripherals after the Mac has shut down completely. The CD software CD supplied with the UPS is for Windows only. For Macs use System Preferences;Energy Saver;UPS. All the necessary adjustments are there. If the UPS is connected to the computer by USB cable the battery status is displayed ion the menu bar. The panel on the UPS tells me the battery is fully charged to run my system for 62 mins, my system is drawing 20% of the maximum power for which it is rated, and the mains supply is currently 241 volts. The UPS is sitting quietly beneath my desk doing what it is supposed to do. UPDATE: Since writing my original review there have been several short power cuts in my village. My UPS has kept my iMac and peripherals running without interruption until the power was restored.
Review: Rock solid UPS unit at fantastic price - I needed a decent yet good value UPS unit to protect my computer and network equipment in the event of a power outage and the 900va version does the job absolutely brilliantly. I particularly want something that in the event of an extended power outage will allow me to shut down the computer and then continue to operate the network switches and clock radio for another few hours. The compact size and shape of this unit means I've easily managed to hide it behind my desk out of sight so you don't even know it's there. When the UPS isn't doing anything (i.e. just running off mains waiting for a power outage) it is completely silent - no fans or anything. When it's running off the battery powering my equipment during a mains outage it does make a noticeable buzzing noise but can easily sleep with it in the same room. I find with it powering two TP-Link Power-Over-Ethernet Switches, one bedside clock/radio and two IP cameras the battery lasts about 3 hours 40 minutes from fully charged to flat. If I have my desktop computer and monitor turned on idling as well then battery life works out at 35 minutes precisely - more than enough time to save work and shut down. My Windows 7 desktop PC treats the UPS in the same way as a laptop would treat it's own battery with no additional software or drivers required (i.e. just use the supplied cable to connect the Data port on the UPS to a spare USB port on your computer, then open the Windows Control Panel > Power Options and you'll see you now have separate settings for mains power and battery power). I haven't bothered installing the supplied PowerChute Personal software as Windows 7's power settings are sufficient for my needs. Some other reviews mention their PC's freezing when running off the UPS power due to the modified sine wave power output. I've not experienced any problems whatsoever. Specs - Corsair RM550 power supply, Intel Core i5 4690 CPU with onboard graphics, 8GB RAM, 1x SSD + 3x 7200rpm hard drives, 22 inch monitor drawing about 85 watts when idle. By default the UPS emits a loud beep every few seconds during a power outage however you can permanently silence it by holding down the mute button on the front panel for a couple of seconds. Although the UPS comes with 2x IEC C14 Male-Female kettle leads for connecting it to a PC or monitor, it does not come with its own mains power cable so you'll need to source one separately. Fortunately I had plenty of kettle leads lying around. Finally, if APC happen to read this there's one feature suggestion I'd like to make for a future version of this product - since as many gadgets these days run off 12v DC anyway (routers, network switches, CCTV cameras etc) can you include a 2.1mm 12v DC socket to run such equipment directly off the battery (and turn off the inverter to save battery if there's nothing wanting to draw power from the 240v sockets) rather than losing efficiency converting the battery up to 240v then back down to 12v again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of audible alarm does this unit have?  Is it a simple beep and it over, or is it like a screeching banshee chasing its prey?**
A: Our model produces a continuous high-pitched beep that wouldn't stop until forced shutdown by depressing the power button for several seconds (like a laptop).

**Q: How long can the battery keep on a 800 watt machine when the power is off?**
A: Just because you have an 800W supply does not mean you are using 800 watts.  I have an 800 watt supply and it typically uses only 90-110W.  However I never got close to the advertised run times even with a brand new battery.  I got about 75-80% of the advertised run times even with a calibrated 30% load.  Also the run time that the machine reports is also a bit optimistic.  When it was new it was claiming around 60 minutes and was getting about 50 at best.  Now that the battery is 3 years old, it only reports about 28 minutes and but only can hang on about 18 minutes.

**Q: Description says surge protection is rated at 355 joules  -- not much protection at that low rate.  Is this correct?  Thanks.**
A: You are correct.  APC's site lists it at 354 joules.  That is pretty low compared to a good power strip at nearly 10 times that rating.  If you live in an area with surge problems (i.e. lightning), then you could plug the UPS into a good power strip first ... or rely on APC's connected equipment protection warranty.

**Q: If the input/output voltage for the addon battery pack is 12vdc, could a deep cycle be used by the unit in theory? The packs that power it are simply sealed wet cells anyway.**
A: The original battery pack is rated at 9Ah. The external battery pack is about 18Ah.  Meaning the charging circuit is designed to manage safely  a 24 Volt 27 Ah  battery set safely. The UPS has a fan which start when required,  so I think you could go up to a couple of 12 Volt 35 Amp AGM type battery in series without any risk but after that size I think  it's too much for this UPS model and will take too much time to fully recharge the batteries and perhaps overheat it.  Also keep in mind if you hook a USB cable to feed UPS status  info to a  computer,   the UPS will report a false reserve time and will force to shut down the computer well before  it's discharged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my simple purposes
*by D***R on 12 August 2019*

Just using this to guard against (probably intentional) power test outages in my department while I'm travelling. Simply backing up a high performance desktop. Very easy to set up physically. I've tried experiments where I've switched off power at the mains and it picked up the slack without any trouble, which is the main thing. Feels solid - looks pretty decent. Allows the alarms to be silenced during sleeping ours. Software user interface could have been simplified (for the home user - if you manage a bunch of computers then the tools for monitoring costs might be more relevant). The link on their software page for Powerchute Personal edition didn't seem to work but their (very responsive) tech support sent me a direct link.
