CyberPower EC850LCD Ecologic UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 850VA/510W, 12 Outlets, ECO Mode, Compact, UL Certified

Works great, good battery life, easy setup, too. You have the choice to hook it up to a computer through a USB port to control the software, but it's not required for it you to use it. Definitely good value for the cost.

My go to for UPS supplies. I have several of these units protecting my most important electronics. I have used these extensively during power outages and I can say with confidence that they will not only protect your electronics, but also keep them running for a brief time. These are not meant to power your whole system for an extended amount of time. This is only so you can safely power down your devices. Another great feature of this device is that when the internal battery reaches its end of life, replacing it is extremely easy. It’s as simple as buying the battery and installing it with only two screws. I would give this CyberPower UPS five stars. It is so easy to use and I like the LCD screen too. Lots of features like overcurrent, undercurrent and voltage etc. protection. Super great price on these too. Unless you’re using a huge amount of wattage, you probably don’t need one of the bigger units. These handle my entire Uplift Desk and Mac mini and tons of other audio equipment Designed flat to easily lay on the floor. It’s also designed so the outlets are spaced apart which makes large plugs easier to use. It is also made to easily replace the battery which is much more difficult on the larger UPS. Hope this review helps you in your choice.

EQUIPMENT Product: 450VA Equipment: 2017 27” iMac | 3.4GHz i5 | 40GB Ram | 4GB graphics card INTRO I am a freelance motion graphics artist and I work from home often, so I decide to buy this battery backup system (450VA version) as a safeguard in case of a power outage, giving me to time to save and close my projects. I have a 2017 27” iMac and I searched online to find out how much power this computer uses and estimate how long it would take for my computer to shut off. I couldn’t find a definite answer so I decide to purchase and do my own testing. Of course there are many variables in figuring that out as it all depends on the usage and how much power the computer is using at the time of the outage. If you are using your computer for browsing the internet at half of the screen brightness while not watching a video or listening to music, your power consumption will be a lot less than if you were editing heavy animated graphics at full screen brightness while using the speakers. THE TEST For my first test I unplugged the battery backup from the wall and started the timer on my phone. On the iMac I had the screen brightness 3 dots away from full brightness and I had Adobe After Effects rendering a 10 second medium complexity animation project at a third of the resolution. - When I unplugged the battery backup from the wall, I heard 2 beeps - letting me know that the system is now using the battery. - The two beeps kept repeating every 30 seconds, probably as a reminder that I was still running on battery. - At 2 mins and 40 secs I heard several beeps - I am assuming that the battery was at 50% - At 4 minutes several beeps went off and did not stop. - At 6 minutes and 35 seconds, the iMac shut off by itself. CONCLUSION The product seams to be of good built quality, I like that all 8 outlets are surge protected and only 4 of them are battery backed up. At about 6 minutes of power after an outage, that works perfectly for me. I don’t need to be working during a power outage and 6 minutes is plenty of time for me to save my projects and not loose any work done. For the price, that is a small price to pay for huge peace of mind. Now, if you need to be working through a power outage or if you will be using a bigger power load with more equipment using the battery’s power, I would advise for you to get a battery backup system with larger battery capacity.

I've been using this a little over a year now, and it has been performing well. I've taken a star off for the PowerPanel software and ECO controlled outlets. The ECO controlled outlets are supposed to shut off power to secondary devices (such as computer speakers) after the computer shuts down. The problem I have is that when my computer is in the process of shutting down or going to sleep, the ECO outlets will shut off and turn back on repeatedly (there's a noticeable click). This happens several times until the computer has fully powered down and then the ECO outlets stay off. I contacted CyberPower about this and was told that my computer is probably turning the USB port off and on. It was recommended that I disable the ECO feature. In any case, it seems like it would have been a logical design to build a time-out of a few seconds into the ECO controller: Don't immediately shut off ECO outlets if the USB connection to computer is interrupted, and don't turn the ECO outlets back on immediately after turning them off if the USB connection is restored, so as to avoid the potentially harmful off-on behavior. Without the ECO feature the PowerPanel software is a bit useless in my situation. You can configure it to shut down the computer automatically after it runs on the battery a certain amount of time or when a certain amount of estimated battery run time is remaining, but the minimum time you can select for either option is 5 minutes. Connected to my battery is the PC tower, one monitor, and two external harddrives (which are powered off most of the time), and whenever the power goes out, I typically have only 5 minutes of power. If I'm home to do things manually, 5 minutes is plenty of time to save my work and shut down, but if I rely on the automatic processes, the battery will most likely run out of power while initiating the shutdown process. I thought I would leave the PowerPanel software in place, as it also provides statistics and diagnostic tools, but I kept getting system notifications that I had 5 minutes or fewer of power remaining. This got annoying fast, so I finally uninstalled the software. Would I buy again? Well, I think I'd prefer something with more battery-supported outlets, and the next time I buy a UPS I'll probably splurge for something with a larger charge capacity, but this has been a very good better-than-nothing budget home UPS. We get a lot of brownouts where I live, so this UPS has already saved me several times. A better CyberPower UPS recently went on sale, and I was tempted to buy it, but decided I didn't need it since my needs haven't outgrown my current UPS and it's still relatively new. Update: 2023.08.24 I bought this UPS in December of 2014, and today it failed while I was sitting at my computer. I think the battery is dead, so I need a replacement, but 8 and a half years has been a been a really good run since quick research suggests 5 years is the median lifespan for a UPS battery.

Muy buen tamaño, me funcionó exelente para un servidor y un HDD.

Parfait! Il fait exactement le service et il fonctionne très bien. Cing étoiles et reçu plusieurs jours avant la date proposée.

This is my first CyberPower UPS and I’m extremely pleased! We often have brownouts and the UPS keeps the power steady and protects our higher value electronics. Also great to have extra power on hand to charge devices during outages. Overall impressed with this UPS for the price!

Excelente produto, tengo 4 meses con el y me ha salvado innumerable ocasiones. Donde vivo es muy común que con cualquier lluvia se vaya la luz o se corte un instante, suficiente para apagarte la computadora. Tengo mi PC gamer con un monitor conectado al aparato y de todas las veces que me ha salvado de cortes de luz yo creo que ya se regresó la inversión. Completamente recomendado.

Compre este modelo después de que varias unidades economicas resultan insuficientes o terminaran muriendo rápidamente, y estoy muy contento con la compra. El diseño es muy practico ya que permite conectar multiples dispositivos con conectores "gordos" que de otra manera terminaría ocupando el espacio de otro enchufe, además permite conectarse a en equipo de cómputo para monitorización directa y no tener que depender de andar interpretando los pitidos cuando algo anda mal, soporta 6 dispositivos protegidos con bateria, y 6 con protección de voltaje, de los cuales 3 se pueden configurar en modo ECO de tal manera que se desactiven si tu PC de sobremesa (en caso de que tengas una) está apagada, optimizando mas el ahorro de Energía. Lo único negativo, es un problema que todos los UPS tienen en México, no tienen garantia por daño a equipos electrónicos, no los culpo, con nuestra "Empresa de Clase Mundial" yo tampoco me animaría a ofrecer este tipo de servicios, pero a final de cuentas es algo que merece comentarse.
