This device, an APC Back-UPS Pro model BX1500M, is a great UPS. It does what it is supposed to do, and does so with little fuss or bother (overall). While it is a bit physically larger than many similar capacity (1500VA) UPSes, it is a slim case design that works well under your desk, or on your bookshelf. I have experienced absolutely no operational issues with the UPS over the past couple of weeks. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Have to give a combined star rating
The first time I purchased this it came with leaking batteries so that would definitely be a 1-star rating but the 2nd time the unit was fine and it is performing as it should, therefore a 5-star rating resulting in a combo 3 stars overall.

Back UPS Pro BX1350
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Perfect for Small Office
This UPS has been great for our small office, Keeps the computer and router running long enough in small power outages and will shut down if they go longer. So far it has saved me 3 times not needing to re start all of my programs. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
