CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS Battery Backup

I purchased this CyberPower UPS to replace the smaller capacity battery UPS unit(APC 450VA Back-UPS (BE450G)) for my main PC (I have 2 of these smaller APC brand UPS units. 1 for the other PC and 1 for my home theater system where they work as intended with much smaller power load needs). The APC unit would only run for about 2 minutes on the main computer, during which time you get a warning siren, then they just stop as the battery runs low. This is OK to just shut down the system if you are sitting at the computer when the power fails. My main computer runs about 10-14 hours a day so this unit gets a real workout. This CyberPower UPS unit has a USB cable that runs to the PC so you can see the current UPS system status(battery charge level etc) as well as review any current/past power interruptions from your PC monitor. The screen show a history of 3 past power conditions: 1-Power outages, 2-Under voltage, 3-Over voltage conditions in 1 of 4 time frames: Last week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks. From this screen you can set the UPS to put your computer into either 'turn off' or 'hibernate' mode(your choice) when the battery gets low. There is also a functional front panel display. On my system I have a 'custom built' computer with 600w PSU, dual core AMD 7850 CPU, 4 GByte Memory, 2 CD/DVD burners and 4 Hitachi 1Tbyte HDDs, a Samsung SyncMaster 2494 24" widescreen 1080p monitor and eVGA GeForce GT 240 GPU on the Battery UPS side. With this power load I get about 18 minutes of run time. I put my printer, 10 external HD drives and other external products on the non-battery side of the CyberPower which are Surge-only protection outlets. This saves battery power during power failures on devices I don't need to keep running. I also love the real time on-screen capability. I live over 1 mile back in the woods off of a gravel and dirt road in the NE Georgia mountains and we get power problems quite often here mostly from tree limbs falling on the power lines. This unit is great for me because I can usually finish what I'm working on and then close my apps before system shutdown. I will definitely purchase other CyberPower units in the future. 05/11/2011 I have purchased another of these units for my Home Theater system about a week ago. I don't know the standby running time since I haven't had a power failure yet. The main reason for this unit was to protect the electronics.

UPDATE 12 DEC 2020: I bought a third one to work from home during COVID19 pandemic. At first I thought it was a oddity but each time there was a power outage or transient event this UPS would just shut off. I noticed my return period was over so I decided to open the case and check it out. I suspected the battery was not connected and sure enough, the positive cable wasn't hooked up. The UPS LCD display shows 100% battery even though the battery wasn't connected. Now that it is connected, it was at 71% which is odd for never having been charged for almost 3+ months. In any case, it works as expected now. if there is no line voltage, the UPS goes into battery mode. Original reviews: CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD 9-Outlet UPS (1000VA/600W) This is my second CyberPower UPS, and I bought this for my home theater system. The other unit I purchased was a much larger UPS for my gaming systems and other electronics. I overestimated the capacity of those systems so I opted for a smaller UPS. In retrospect, I should have gone with the larger unit because the flat screen LCD TV I have consumed quite a bit of power. With a capacity of 600W, the 40" LCD consumes over 100W. The home theater PC takes over 100W as well, so I am already at 50% capacity. This does not allow for much reserve time in case of a power outage, but I mainly wanted extra protection for the sensitive electronics and enough time to shut down the PC to prevent data loss or damage to the components due to brown outs. The 9-outlets are not all connected to the battery backup. I opted to use a surge protector in conjunction with the CyberPower UPS. As with the previous UPS, I did not hook up the USB connection and I did not install the drivers. Don't test the UPS by pulling the cord, but instead you can test it by shutting off the circuit breaker for that outlet. Overall: 5/5 stars, affordable and gets the job done. Highly recommended due to battery backup, automatic voltage regulation/conditioning, and protection from brownouts as well as surges.

I bought this UPS for my HP Proliant ESXi server, NetGear ReadyNAS, and wireless router. The server has two L5520 processors in it, 4 sata drives, an external drive and 18 4 GB sticks of ram to give you an idea of how much equipment i have to power. I have National Grid for electric and my power goes out at least once every three weeks for a few seconds, just long enough to kill my server. I wanted something that was manageable and had enough power to last through a short outage while not draining my bank account. I gave this UPS a shot and its perfect. First off the screen on it is quite nice. It tells you everything you need to know without a computer such as how charged it is, the load its taking, how long it will last, voltage coming in and out. Its really great. The picture on Amazon is exactly the one i have. The pictures can do more justice than me telling you about it. The software that comes with it is okay, just lets you see the same info that's on the front of the UPS. Its good for a workstation but i need the UPS for a server. Instead, use the CentOS PowerPanel Business Edition server CyberPower has available. Its great!!! It's a small Linux server that controls the UPS via a web browser. It has all the automation's you can think of, like powering on and off at scheduled times, certain events and sending alerts via SMS, email and MSN messenger plus a lot more. Right now, mine is set to send a request for a graceful shutdown of all my VM's and ESXi when the powers been out for 30 seconds and when the powers been restored for five minutes, it initiates a power on sequence. Of course my ESXi also boots up critical VM's automatically so i never miss a beat now with this great UPS. It records logs as frequent as every minute and stores them for up to a year. You can even manage the individual outlets on the back through the browser. So how long does this last? With the gear i have attached to it, the gear is using about 26% of the maximum load so it can handle a lot more. I average about 16 minutes of up time with what i have attached. I've unplugged it to see and the time is pretty accurate. That's more than enough time to down a system and still charge a cell phone after in case the powers out for a long time. The battery is nice but the free management software is my biggest plus. I do not know if it works with other brands though as this is my only UPS i have access to. Update: After 4 years, it's still working like the day I got it. My power went out about a month ago and this ran my server, which currently wasn't set to automatically down my servers, for about 12 minutes. I'm only here to buy another for more servers.

This UPS does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it well. Setup is simple, and the LCD screen gives clear, useful information about load, battery status, and runtime. The AVR (automatic voltage regulation) is a huge plus, it keeps things stable without constantly switching to battery power. It’s been reliable during outages and gives enough time to safely shut everything down. It has 5 battery outlets and 4 standard surge outlets, for a total of 9 outlets. It is very heavy for its size which is a good indicator of high quality battery cells. The pure sine wave output definitely gives peace of mind while running expensive equipment. The only downside is the price, it feels a bit high for the capacity. That said, you’re paying for reliability and peace of mind, and it delivers on both.

A few years ago I made sure I had surge protectors for all the important stuff in my house. I had a low end UPS but was so unimpressed with it that I couldn't stomach sinking the money for another one. Like anything in technology, things get better, cheaper and faster. Glenn Reynolds [...] was talking about UPS units and I clicked on the Amazon link. I saw all the new units and their prices and decided to give it another shot. I ordered this one and the CyberPower CP600LCD with this being the more expensive unit. They both arrived the next day which was great. Having two of them, the box weighed enough that it was burdensome but there's not much that can be done about that. I had them unpacked in just a few minutes. I started to hook up the CP1000 and it took about 10 minutes to use all 9 outlets. There was still a charge (about 50%) left so I was up and running. After hooking up the outlets I hooked in the other peripherals all of which took about a grand total of 15 minutes. The packaging emphasizes that it's Windows 7 compatible which I didn't understand (my last UPS didn't have any software). I installed what came with it and low and behold it all made sense. It was incredibly simple to install and once I understood everything, I had absolutely no problem using it. Just to test things, i unplugged the UPS from the outlet to see roughly how long I'd have. 20 minutes into it everything was still up and running fine (keep in mind i have all 9 outlets used and am running a server and several high power peripherals on it). I didn't feel like tempting fate so I unplugged a few of the items (additional monitors, the printer, the neat receipts to name a few 0. I let it run another 15 minutes which I was able to do without any problem. That's only about 1/2 the time it's supposed to provide but the indicators all seemed to point to the fact I had a good bit of time left - confirming that it worked as advertised. The best compliment I can give a product is that if the one I had broke or was lost/stolen, I'd buy another one immediately. After years doubting UPS' value, I'm sold on them. I would absolutely make sure I bought another one and I'd buy this model if I had to get another one (or another higher model CyberPower). Especially when you consider the price, you'll love this is you get one

I've had two of these UPS/battery back-up and surge protectors for over 7 years now. I used them at my business and now at my home (where I use two for one PC, monitor and cable modem). If the power goes out, I have about 10-15 minutes to safely shut down my PC. My router/cable modem should be able to function for at least another 30-45 minutes on the second UPS. This will give me time to access the internet, etc. The trick is to calculate how many watts your equipment is drawing. To translate Amp-Hours (Ah) into usable energy (Watt-Hours, Wh) or power (Watts, W), you multiply Ah by the system Voltage (V) to get Wh (Energy), then divide by time (hours) to get Watts (Power) or use Watts = Volts x Amps (Instantaneous Power). The key is knowing the battery's Voltage, as Ah only measures charge capacity, not total energy. That said, this is a very reliable product. Easy to use/connect. Bonus it includes a cable surge suppressor to protect your router/cable modem. When the power goes out, the device will beep every minute. You can mute it if you'd like on the newer versions. I'd also highly recommend you pay attention to which outlets you hook up your 'mission critical' equipment to - one side is surge protection only and the other side is surge protection AND power back-up. I've been happy with these and can not blame the manufacturer for needing to replace the sealed lead acid battery after three years. Batteries have a certain lifespan, no fault of CyberPower. I used a MightyMax battery as a direct replacement and have had no issues. Over-all, I am very satisfied with these Uninterruptable Power Supplies.

Having this UPS for 6 months now, I thought it was time to write a review. I purchased this to replace a Belkin supply that was a little underpowered for my application. This UPS is protecting my main PC, two monitors, and all-in-one printer, plus other various and sundry gadgets. It arrived from Amazon in fine shape, despite it heft. It's relatively compact, and yes, wall warts would be a problem, but there are little "extension cords" you can get for a buck a piece to convert the wall warts to regular sized plugs. So that isn't an issue for me. The software was painless to install and is running consistently and flawlessly under Windows 7 64 bit, unlike Belkin's software that this replaced. There is a decent amount of information displayed by both the LCD display of the device, and the software. Though, I would have liked to see more logging capability, but that's just me. I can attest to the protective capability of this device. Having a standby generator, I really only need my PC powered for a minute by the UPS until the generator switches over, so the overly-optimistic backup time isn't too much of a concern for me. The reason I can unequivocally recommend this unit is precisely because of my generator. During one blackout, the generator's voltage regulator malfunctioned, causing a 600V surge that lasted almost 30 seconds. The UPS was residing on a circuit that was switched over, and the UPS not only protected all the PC bits, it came through the surge unscathed. Other devices on other circuits weren't so lucky. For the price, you aren't going to find a better UPS.

I bought this in 2022, so here's an almost 2 yr later review(I'm writing the review in 2024) When I initially bought this, I connected it to a Cisco switch, a modem, and a router. I was getting a solid 120 mins(just like it said on the screen). I even debated ordering a second one. 2 yrs later, it shows 70 mins but it gets about 20 minutes. Thankfully, I ran regularly ups battery tests, not through the app but I just cut power to the ups and wait till it's almost dead, then restore power. This was how I noticed that it shows 70 mins of battery time on the load it sense but in almost... if not less than 20 mins, it just DIES! Now here's the thing... if you're buying this ups to have enough time to power off your equipment great! But if you're like me and you're buying it to have about 30 mins to an hour of wifi when the lights go out, you'll be fine for a yr or two, then be ready to buy a replacement. Software: They have a cyber power software called PowerPanel, you get it for free but if you want to be able to set up the mobile app so you can control your ups on your phone, then you'll have to pay $11.99 per year for one ups, about $35 for 3 ups' , etc etc. So why would you want the mobile app?.... so you can get alerts on your phone when things go offline... or when the battery is being discharged, or the ups is almost out of power. Although, you can get around the app by setting up a smtp(mail) and receiving emails instead. Noise: It's pretty quiet when not discharging. However, when it's discharging.... loud beeping(just like any other ups) and what i think is a fan noise. I don't mind. It's alright in the noise sector. Compatibility: you can plug anything into it. It has a regular us outlet. Oh by the way, you cannot plug one ups into another. Recommendation: Personally no. I don't think I'll trust cyberpower ups' again. The fact that it shows 70 mins expected time and only does 20 is insane to me. Cannot be trusted. Here's what I'll say though: 1. If you're someone who just wants 10 mins so you can power everything off and you know enough to setup the smtp alerts, sure, go for it. But if you're not sure how to set up smtp and you're not willing to learn from a YouTube video or sth... then be prepared for the 12 dollar cost. 2. If you want something to actually provide you with battery backup... maybe you're working from home so you want your wifi to last an hour in case of a power outage, DON'T DO IT! DO NOT.... you'll be in for a not so fun surprise. 1 star that it was good in the beginning. Another star for... idk... let me leave it at one

Es un buen producto, claro hay que saber comprar estos aparatos, este CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD por ejemplo es de onda simulada, es decir en un osciloscopio verías la onda escalonada, esto no es recomendable para algunas computadoras con fuentes de poder especializadas que requieren onda sinusoidal suave (ondas, con valles y crestas totalmente suaves y degradados, como las que salen de un generador por inducción). Lo compré para proteger un televisor 55" de 135W y un home teather HK de 150W (con unos periféricos que no suman más de 50W en total), por lo que mi consumo máximo será de 335W y quizá agregue un pequeño subwoofer para home teather de 100W (este no break soporta hasta 600W), así que estoy sobrado y quizá me dé unos 20 minutos de respaldo. Esporádicamente conectaré también una notebook de 35W de consumo, que no es demasiado. Es fácil de configurar y para la mayoría de los casos es suficiente con los arreglos que trae de default, la opción de proteger el cable (o la HDTV-TDT) es un gran plus, y también la protección de red es otro buen plus (recomiendo usar sólo cables de red STP de clase 6 a 8, para la mayoría de los casos es suficiente un STP 6A de cobre puro OFC ~AWG 26 a 23~, que sin problemas maneja redes GB ~hasta 10 si la memoria no me falla~, y frecuencias de hasta 550MHz), no recomiendo loa cables UTP pues pueden recibir algo de interferencia y más en estos tiempos donde estamos invadidos por tantas ondas electromagnéticas que pueden generar interferencias o micro corrientes parásitas. El problema que le veo es el software, no es muy difícil pero no es para usuarios principiantes, en mi caso no lo usaré pues la notebook no estará conectada permanentemente, pero es un punto a considerar para quienes usarán esto por ejemplo en un servidor personal que piensen montar por su cuenta. Espero sea duradero y más por su garantía de 3 años, ojalá no tenga problemas al registrarlo pues el recibo de Amazon no es factura, pero no creo que haya problemas, pues desde la página de cyberpower te redirige a Amazon como una de las opciones de compra en línea. Es de notar que los contactos que dicen que sólo dan protección contra picos (está dividido en contactos con protección y batería y sólo con protección de picos), mantienen la alimentación de corriente aunque el no break esté apagado, ahí pueden conectarse por ejemplo aparatos como el echo dot, Roku, Fire, smart hub y algunos periféricos que no requieran suministro continuo de energía durante los apagones y fallos de red eléctrica, pero sí requieran energía de la red eléctrica 24/7. En cuanto a estética es muy austero, no parece de calidad pero funciona perfectamente y sólo tiene 3 botones al frente, el LCD se lee claramente y es blanco; sin dudas en un tiempo compraré uno de estos para cada televisor de casa.

I'm running a small file server and have been experiencing power glitches during the recent heat waves. The Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCD was on the compatibility list for my Synology NAS, so I went for it. It's a compact but hefty unit, as one would expect considering the built-in lead-acid battery. What surprised me a bit was the solid construction, the number of little extra bonus features, and particularly the usefulness of the front LCD display. Among other information, this gave me an estimate of uptime I could expect under my current load - much longer than I'd hoped for. More good news: compatibility proved to be no problem - when I plugged in the USB connection, my Synology DS920+ immediately recognized the UPS by name. I do think plugging most PCs into a UPS is a bit silly. I only run software that's smart enough not to lose my data in the event of a crash (for example, Scrivener for word processing, instead of Word). But the possibility of a server being interrupted in the middle of a write operation is a worry I can do without. Problem solved.

Funciona muy bien En mi ciudad cuando sube la temperatura hay muchos cortes de luz los cuales a soportado muy bien y me da 20 min en una computadora gamer con 2 monitores

TLDR: Works with my Active PFC PSU (Corsair HX650, SeaSonic X-650W and XFX 650W XXX, it also functions perfectly with the SeaSonic X650), provides roughly 35m of idle battery time, under load this drops to about 10m or less depending on what I am doing (OCCT & FurMark). I purchased this product after looking for a UPS to protect my $2000 PC, at first I spent the first few days researching brands and features, I came to the conclusion that APC was the best but was also much more expensive as a result, Cyberpower was equally good in terms of quality but due to being lesser known they didn't have the premium APC carried but offered near identical product offerings. After I figured out which brand I was settling on I spent a few hours searching up information on Active PFC power supplies and UPS's, most people said they wouldn't work or that I needed to get a pure sinewave UPS offering which would have made the unit cost 50% more. I have an Active PFC (APFC) power supply in my PC, the Corsair HX650, this unit functions correctly with the Cyberpower UPS I purchased, the only people that seem to have issues are those which have power supplies made by Antec (Lower-end models) or Enermax. Upon researching this I found an interesting article on JonnyGuru (http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3964) which based on the first supply was more than enough proof to make me confident in my purchase. I tested this unit with OCCT and Prime95 running and both were causing my PC to shoot up to 150w of usage, I unplugged my PC during these stress tests and nothing shut down, I also tried doing this with FurMark running which causes my usage to go up to around 225w and I still had an estimated run time of 10 minutes with a total charge of 65% on the battery. I am impressed by this to say the least as the battery backup was a secondary feature I wanted and the main feature I purchased this for was it's AVR which is causing my voltage to be stable and not rapidly change from 113v - 123v every minute or so. I have the following PC specifications Intel Core i5 4690k (4.5GHz) Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Corsair HX650 Western Digital Blue 1TB Hard Drive (7.2k RPM) Crucial MX100 128GB SSD BenQ GL2450 24" LED Monitor BenQ GL2460 24" LED Monitor - This PSU has Active PFC - This UPS is not a Pure Sine Wave model - The estimated run time with 225w is between 10 - 14 minutes - The UPS smells like new plastic - The UPS is dead silent except when it is using it's battery which causes a noticeable hum for both the PSU and UPS - The AVR functions correctly and is quiet while doing so! - There is a self test function with the included software download for PowerPlan Personal Edition

Me ha evitado dolores de cabeza, lo recomiendo bastante
