Back-UPS Pro BR1600MI

Replaced a cyber power, expensive but you get what you pay for with the batteries. Nice and quiet, high capacity and really quiet. No software anymore, web panel, works well enough.

I puchased this for my fusebox for my router as we are going to lose analogue lines next year I though it was time to get one so at least we can use our phone in an emergency! The only thing is that it is too big to fit in our fuse box, so now this lives on our telly/AV gear as I am sick and tired of having to wait for our Android TV box and Kodi box to reboot when the power goes out for a second. The runtime is something like 530 minutes at 0% load, which is 8.83 hours so quite a long time!!

Arrived faulty - Battery terminal is missing/broken and therefore the unit will not charge. No exchange option, No courier pick-up option, the APC support link is geared to USA customers - This is a heavy item, why should I be expected to take it to the Post Office.

Good product from APC as always, small in size so will fit under desk, the price is expensive but worth it to save your computer, easy to setup, you may need to buy more power leads if connecting more than one thing,

I purchased it in September 2022, and it worked fine until October 2025, when it suddenly crashed with no apparent reason. After a long exchange of emails with resetting advice, since there is no possibility of telephone support, I was informed that UPS replacement was the next step, without any attempt to find the fault and repair the device. When I asked about the service, the answer came as: "Thank you for your reply. We apologize; we only process an in-warranty replacement." This means that even a minor fault after 2 years means scrapping the device and buying a new one. One thing is certain - my next purchase will not be from Schneider Electric.

I have been using this for 2 years and it has worked well. Had multiple power cuts during this time and this has automatically protected my PC data. I should have bought this many years ago !

Brilliant slim box that fits perfectly behind our htpc furniture. Has enough power for home server, all of htpc and Internet routers.

Purchased to handle the rare split second power cuts we get in our area. Connected only to my Qidi Plus 4 3D printer. It will power the Qidi Plus 4 for only 7 minutes when the printer is at full power. It is also disappointing to see the 5 bar battery charge level indicator drop from 5 bars to just 3 the very second the unit is activated. Useful menu items like power being drawn etc. Very heavy and extremely well made. Very clever battery shipment case. Not connected during shipping, remove the cover, pull the battery out and reverse it. Up and running in seconds. It doesn't come with the mains connection cable because you use your piece of equipments mains cable and then use the included C14 cables to plug the UPS into your equipment.
