Great small UPS that's really smart

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a loyal APC customer for years. Again, the APC Back UPS Pro BX1350M did not disappoint. Living in Florida we have our share of power outages and disruptions, a good inexpensive UPS is a must have. For a 1350VA unit it's quite small and the display size is perfect. I highly recommend!

Excellent battery back up
on May 30, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This APC battery backup is an excellent way to back up computers and electronics in a home, home office or at work. It is a vertical form factor, so takes up less space and shows the amount of time in minutes the UPS will provide power. Excellent product and I highly recommend it.

Unfortunate DOA
on May 31, 2018

from Mentor, OH 44060, USA
I received this as part of the APC Power Review program and sadly the one that was sent to me was a DOA. That said, I have never had a DOA UPS from APC before so this is likely just a one-off but cannot offer much insight to the product itself.

Back UPS Pro BX1350
on June 12, 2018
Posted by: CptTom
from TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the battery backup , BX1350M, by FedEx in great shape. The outside box was a bit beat up but well boxed up and protected inside. After removing everything from the box I was surprised that the battery was fully charged and ready to go. All that is needed to do is slide the access cover for the battery off, remove the battery, turn it around and reinstall the battery. In less than 5 minutes I had the battery backup unboxed, monitor and computer connections made and ready to turn it all on. Now I should state that I had a backup from APC before and so I still had the PowerChute software installed so I could skip the step of installing the software. No CD with software comes with the product but it is a small download from APC’s website and installs with ease. This must be done before using the battery backup to make use of the shutdown feature.
A brief explanation of tests I did were on a system with an Intel i7 processor and a nVidia 1080 video card both water cooled. The display is a Dell Ultra Wide Curved 34”. Testing the battery and software was done with the computer at rest in Windows 7 and with the computer working both the CPU and the GPU at 100%. This was done by folding proteins using Folding@Home. The wattage and load while at rest was 165w at 20% load and while folding was at 370w at 45% load.
The first test was at rest and displayed a 28 minute runtime. Unplugging the appliance there was no noticeable loss in power. After 17 min of use on the battery it hit 50% life left and displayed 14 minutes runtime left. At the 29 min mark and 4 min runtime the PowerChute software went into action and powered down the system. With the monitor still on the display showed 11 minutes runtime until the monitor went into powersaver mode giving the battery another 91 minutes. Full recharge with nothing plugged in took a whopping 13 hrs, but then it is lead-acid and not li.
The second test was with FAH running on both the CPU and GPU displaying a runtime of 10 min. Unplugging the appliance exhibited no issues and FAH kept chugging along. At the 6 min and 50 sec mark it hit the 4 minute runtime and PowerChute went into action, shutting down the system. This time, after plugging in the battery backup, I restarted the computer and went back to FAH to see if there would be a difference in time to reach full charge. The time was about the same, minus an hour. Part of the reason I believe is that with such a fast drain left more battery life at the 4 min mark and thus recharge was a bit quicker. Another take away is that you can still use the equipment while recharging without taking a hit on recharge time.
In the end, this is a great product that not only protects equipment from being damaged but will also shut down a computer safely without losing data. If the power requirement are the same or greater than what I used and a few more minutes of runtime Is desired then maybe the 1500 is what one may want instead of the 1350. Whatever the requirement is, be assured that APC’s BX series will do the job.

Quick, easy, great!

from High Desert, Southern California
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received a shiny new BX850 UPS recently. I'm using it to protect a small home office server with critical personal and small business data on it. SInce I live in an isolated area of the high desert, power fluctuations, sags, and outages are common, especially when the wind starts blowing hard. This UPS has already saved my system a couple times. The downloadable software makes it easy to interface and protect the server from prolonged outages. I also like the fact that I can determine how much power the system is consuming. The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) is a very nice feature. My input power varies quite a bit, but the server sees nice steady voltage and the clear, well-illuminated LCD display.lets me know just what is going on. Overall a great product, and it came packed in recyclable cardboard. The package had been banged around enough to partially crush a corner of the box during shipping, but the UPS was in perfect shape. The included setup guide was both comprehensive and very readable. Some other manufacturer hardware documents I've received have been printed in very tiny, low contrast type, and were hard to read. This UPS arrived with readable documents--very refreshing!
In addition to my home use, I am a practicing computer security professional and system designer,and I use UPS systems to protect a major IT Datacenter andlarge network where I work--also out here in the High Desert areas of Southern California.

No frills. Does the job. Occasionally ticks as power company voltage fluctuates. I've used APC products since forever. Great, responsive company and outstanding products.

EXCELlent Product
on May 24, 2019
Posted by: Larry
from Corvallis, Oregon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product really doe's EXCEL at protecting my desktop computer equipment from Line Surges and allowing me to shut down the equipment in an orderly fashion, so all the equipment doesn;t shut down at once and possibly causing a power surge and damaging some sensitive equipment. Also I have used APC UPS's for about 25 years now and have never had one have a failure other than eventually needing a new battery. Really can't say enough about APC products.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
