A mini-tower UPS with line interactive topology, the CyberPower AVR Series CP900AVR provides battery backup (using simulated sine wave output) and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems. The CP900AVR uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently. The CP900AVR comes with a three-year warranty (including coverage of batteries) and a $300,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee.

Happy with the product so far. Did lots of research before choosing this CP685AVR to replace my old APC ES 650.Initial setup was easy. Battery was already attached. Charged for 10 hours (they recommended min. 8) and battery was at 100% when turned on. Registration and software setup were straight forward. USB cable was included. Great to have the option to mute the alarm all the time.The UPS is pretty quiet. Its weight is lighter than the old APC.Initiated self-test through the software and everything worked fine. Note that the outlets were a little tight and had to push the plugs in hard. There are enough space between them to accomodate larger adapters and plugs.Will see how long the battery lasts. Hope I won't need to come back with a negative update.

I've been using Cyberpower UPS units for at least 10 years. I've replaced several simply due to age. No real problems with the operation. That said, EVERY unit, from the 500VA/260W to the 1500VA NEEDS TO HAVE A SWITCH to disable the beeper. I have 5 of these units scattered around my house. Any idea what it sounds like when the power goes out in the middle of the night? Yes, I can get out of bed and go around to each one to temporarily mute it. But WHY? How much would it cost to add a simple switch to the side to prevent nuisance alarms??? That is the only complaint I have with the brand.

First of all, before you purchase this device please note the following:1. The device is non-refundable2. The device cannot be returned3. The mute button is not effective, the UPS keeps beeping when not connected to power4. Connecting devices to the UPS is tricky, as you have to be careful to which outlets you are connecting it to so your connected device stays on after the power is lostBesides the 4 comments above, the device seems to function as intended. I’ve connected my router to it, and a week ago we had an outage, and the router stayed on for a few hours.

I live in an area with frequent brownouts. Our other ups kicked onto batteries every time the voltage dipped -this one frequently saves devices from turning off without needing to drain the battery. I expect it will last much longer than other models. It kept a ps5 in sleep mode for hours during a total outage. So far I’m very happy.

It's rather a sad indicator of the time in which we are living. We live in Sacramento California, which despite being the capital of the state does not seem to lend any importance to our local electrical grid. We suffer many more power outages then I ever experienced during the forty years I lived in So. Cal. While this situation doesn't have much of an impact on our lives, it has made for a number of nuisances, e.g. each time we have an outage at my mother-in-law's home, her Ring doorbell goes offline and when the power comes back on the doorbell can't seem to ever reconnect to the WiFi router on its own. She's in her 80's now, so it's necessary for me to get the system re-connected (don't believe what Ring tells you about it will re-connect on its own, this one certainly doesn't). We don't have a smart doorbell (we have a brass cat and it always works after an outage!), but we do have a number of PCs and other devices that are usually online, so an outage that takes out our router is a pain. For my mother-in-law I installed a CyberPower UPS (battery backup) that keeps her router up and running during the outages we experience. It worked so well that I did the same for our home. Now when we lose power our router stays up and working, making it much easier to power down our equipment if needed, avoiding lost settings, etc. So far we haven't had long enough outages that outlasted our UPS's capacity. I'm sure it will happen, but the difference having the UPS for us and mom has been well-worth the expense, and actually the expense is relatively affordable for these small units. My rack-mount UPS for our main PC was expensive by comparison, but it too is a CyberPower branded UPS, as are all of the UPS in our home. I've found CyberPower makes the most reliable UPS for most situations that the average person might have. Long ago when I used their name-brand competitor's UPS they failed on a consistent basis. I was lucky to have just one of their units live long enough to need a replacement battery, while all of our current CyberPower UPS have managed to do their jobs and live to accept replacement batteries when the original batteries came to their end-of-life. We did have to replace two CyberPower units after our home was hit by two different huge power surges. Those units did their jobs and protected our equipment. You cannot ask for more than that!

Es un poco mas grande de lo que esperaba y me tomo por sorpresa el peso, fuera de allí no tengo ninguna queja.Utilizo este UPS para conectar una PC gamer con una fuente de poder de 750w (en carga máxima no los consume pero si se acerca a los 500w) y dos monitores (uno de alta taza de refrescado y un IPS). No he tenido ningún problema.Tenemos algunos dispositivos en casa que general picos de luz constantemente (por uso de resistencias) y que pudieran afectar diversos equipos y este UPS por ahora ha hecho su trabajo de limitar el impacto fielmente. Solo hemos tenido un apagón de no mas de 1 min y funciono de maravilla el respaldo.

I bought the CyberPower CP1500AVRT/BC1500D UPS (1500VA/900W) about a week ago. I went with the 1500VA/900W model because I have a fairly powerful win xp pro system (Dell XPS 710 Red, Intel QX6700 quadcore chip, 4Gb RAM, 1000W power supply/air-cooled, Dell 2407 24" widescreen monitor, 2 internal hard drives (250Mb and 750Mb), 2 internal CD-RW/DVD-RW drives/burners, an internal multi-slot card reader, USB mouse and keyboard. Attached are the following self-powered USB peripherals: 2 printers, 2 external 500Gb hard drives, and an external DVD-RAM drive/burner. The system is used mainly for graphic design and video processing. Only the Dell XPS 710, the Dell 24" monitor, and 1 external 500GB HP hard drive are connected to the CP UPS. All the other powered devices are connected to different outlets via their own non-ups surge suppressors.Using a , I measured the max draw for the connected computer (configured as described above), monitor, and 1 external hard drive to be 352 watts at power-up/boot-up. According to the included CP PowerPanel software, the system typically idles at between 270-280 watts (between 280-290 watts according to the P3 meter). The PowerPanel software fairly consistently displays 16-18 minutes runtime remaining (at idle) when the battery is 100% charged. Obviously, less power-hungry systems can expect longer run times. The fairly compact unit came fully charged, was very easy to setup, and, so far, seems to work exactly as advertised (although, I haven't had a power interruption to test its true mettle yet).I recommend not installing the PowerPanel software from the included disk, but rather going to CP's website and downloading the latest version (free) from there. The software installed easily and does not seem buggy. As best I can tell, the software installs 2 custom background processes, pppeuser.exe and ppped.exe, that use approx. 5.6Mb and 4.8Mb of memory (at idle), respectively.After a near-death experience with a recent power outage, I bought this unit primarily for the ability to automatically/softly shut down my (unattended) computer via windows. My research indicated that this was a solid value for the combination of power, features, and warranty (3 yrs.). The comparable LCD version () adds an external LCD display for about $35.00 extra MSRP (but may sell for at or near same price); otherwise, I think the features are comparable. I didn't feel I needed/wanted the LCD display, since all that information (and more) is available via the software's system tray icon; others may feel differently about that.Giving the unit 5 stars a this point was a no-brainer.
