Product Description
The Back-UPS RS offers high performance protection for your business and office computer systems. It provides abundant battery backup power, allowing you to work through medium and extended length power outages. It also safeguards your equipment from damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility, phone and network lines. A distinguishing feature of the Back-UPS RS is automatic voltage regulation (AVR). AVR instantly adjusts both low and high voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations, saving the battery for power outages when you need it most. Award-winning shutdown software automatically powers down your computer system in the event of an extended power outage.

 APC BR1500LCD Review August 9, 2008
I experienced a power outage within the first month after purchasing the unit. The power went off and on a couple times before going off completely for around 3 hours. It kept power to my DSL modem and router (my desktop computer was off) and also my satellite receiver and TV. It could have powered everything except my TV for over 4 hours. With the TV on it was a little over a half hour. We turned the TV on periodically to check the progress of a baseball game.
The thing I like best is it kept surges from entering my equipment when the power went off and back on a couple times before going off completely.
It certainly has the power to allow normal shutdown of my computer without loss of data if the occasion arises.
I only wish I had been using it over the past few years, since we have had many power outages and surges in my neighborhood. I believe those caused my A/V receiver to fail.
Outstanding Back-up and Great Company August 5, 2008
I have 2 Back-UPS RS 1500's (and an older Back UPS Pro 650 - 5 years old (?) with the original battery) and they have been in service for over 1 year. The performance has been flawless. This area seems to get a fair number of brown outs. Drops in utility power have never created a need to stop working. A few months ago, there was a bad storm that knocked out power. The RS 1500's gave me nearly 30 minutes to complete work and shut the workstations down normally. There was an earlier comment about only having a few minutes to shut down. I suspect that person has an enormous load on their UPS; if that's true, the UPS is undersized for the requirement or a multiple UPS solution may be appropriate.
Over the years I have purchased more than a dozen APC units. I have NEVER had a problem with any of them. Some one mentioned the batteries are expensive. I guess it depends on how you look at it. They ship a new battery to you along with a label to send to old battery back. APC claims the batteries are disposed of in a safe manner. Considering the two way shipping and safe disposal (green if you will), I don't think the cost is excessive.
I read some people love the LED display. To be honest, the only times I have looked at the display were when I first plugged them in so I could see when they were fully charges, and the second time was during the black out to confirm how much time I had.
One should keep in mind APC offers free downloads of new firmware, new software, or new versions of software. I agree with an earlier comment that they have way too many models making the selection process harder than it should be. I don't trust the online "selection wizard" to make the choice for me. I have called the 800 service line more than once to get product advice from a human; I've never been dissatisfied.
Maybe I missed it in other comments, but APC offers an upgrade program. After you have owned your unit for a few years or so, they offer significant discounts to trade your older UPS for new UPS. As I have added hardware in the office and the power needs have increased, the upgrade program has saved money. The old unit is either refurbished for resale or disposed appropriately.
The bottom line for me is that I have used APC products for over 25 years. I've never had a problem. Battery exchanges have always gone smoothly. The upgrade program allows me to get new units that reflect my current needs at a discount. Assuming APC's claims of safe disposal are correct, I feel better knowing the batteries and other pieces aren't in a landfill somewhere. I have no reason to consider any other brand.
Does what it should and lets you keep you informed with data July 19, 2008
This is a fine UPS. The display panel is of great use and supplies a lot of information, much of it trivial but some like trivia. The UPS powers a Mac Pro with 12 gig of ram, 4 hard drives, an LCD monitor, a dsl modem, a router, a telephone, answering machine and a desk lamp, and it still using only 28% of its capacity. I ran my system for just over 15 minutes during a recent blackout before the system warned me I needed to shut down. And... The price is great, half what I paid a couple of years ago for a lesser UPS.
So far so good. July 10, 2008
I bought this about a month ago now and it has gone through at least two power outages without any issues. I have never had a problem with any APC products.
WORKS BETTER THEN BELKIN July 2, 2008
I purchased this a few months ago and all I can say is AWESOME !!!
I have owned the Belkin Universal UPS 1200 for about 4 years and it just crashed on me...Belkin was ok, but with this APC Powerpack your getting the Lexus of UPS Systems...you wont go wrong with the monster :)
