APC Back-UPS Pro Gaming UPS, 1500VA Sinewave Battery Backup, USB-C Charging & AVR, BGM1500B-US

Works great for my PC
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I previously owned a UPS from APC and with my new 5090, it was pulling too much power, overloading the APC when I would render in Blender. This UPS was from a company I was already familiar with, it has monitoring and self testing software available, and had the power load capability I needed. In the video I’m showing you how to change the colors on the back/front and cycling through the screen options. I prefer to have it show the load % (the one I stopped on) as even when the screen dims, the colored ring still loads and adjusts around the screen to give you a visual on the load without having the entire display screen active.There is no way to completely disable the back light that I have found, but red seems to be the least intrusive for light pollution in the house (our bedroom door is nearby so I wanted a light that didn’t flood the neighboring rooms). Battery life on it seems acceptable. I’ve had two loss of power events since installing this (bought it a few months ago) and was able to safely shut down my machine without even passing the 80% batter left mark. Overall a great purchase, especially if you live in an area with unstable power supply like I do (out in the woods with tree interference on lines frequently). Would absolutely recommend this if you have any sensitive equipment that you want to protect. It’s pretty beefy and can handle a lot of power flowing through it. 

Good for backup power
The APC Battery Backup has been a lifesaver! Since getting this, the power has gone out a couple of times, and it worked flawlessly each time. It kept my gaming setup running smoothly without any interruptions, allowing me to save progress and shut down safely.The setup was straightforward, and the unit is sleek and well-designed, fitting perfectly with my gaming setup. The sinewave technology ensures stable power, which is especially important for sensitive electronics like gaming PCs and consoles.It’s also quiet during operation, which is a huge plus. For the peace of mind and reliability it offers, this UPS is worth every penny. Highly recommend it for gamers or anyone looking to protect their devices from unexpected power outages!

Flawless Operation so far
Setup was a breeze. I’m running a Alienware R16 w/4060Ti graphic card and KTC 166Hz monitor that constantly alarmed my previous UPS. Two low power network devices also connected. Max load so far has not exceeded 42%. Small quirks: LED color control only changes the rear LED lighting. This light was helpful for seeing the plugs during setup but is now constantly on and I see no way of shutting it off. It has an exact match to the color of the R16 lighting. I also wish there was a way to keep the frontal display on constantly while a load is applied (i.e., I’m at my desk). Battery replacement is expected in 3-5 years which is a bit sooner than most. My previous battery lasted 7 years. Smaller than it looks in the pictures; a bit smaller than a half tower.
