Excellent product, please renew deal with CostCo.
Excellent product, easy purchase experience on the web, quick delivery. Still, I miss the days when I could just get one at CostCo when one of the 6 I use die after ~10yrs of use. The price is also much higher than it used to be, possibly due to delivery costs.

APC Back-UPS Pro
Reliable back up battery that I would recommend to a friend. I'm a private customer using the back up battery for non-business purposes. I'm using the product as back up for a desktop computer. I've been using APC back up batteries since around 2014. I'm submitting the review as part of a sweepstakes entry. I am not an employee of Schneider Electric. Pros: well made, replaceable battery, good company; Cons: none

APC BR1500MS2 Purchase/Installation
Unit received 07/01/2024, installed 07/05/2024. Working properly. So far computer and communications equipment has 100% up time. I have installed/used APC products in the past for employers and this was the reason I chose APC for home. Easy setup and it is working well. Instructions are easy to follow. Would recommend expanded instructions if using this unit to manage power spikes for Ethernet cable into/out of UPS unit as it relates to the ground terminal screw. I called APC technical and finally got an explanation what this ground screw is used for, but not much explanation how to connect it to house ground. At this time, I am not using this feature.

Buyer Beware
I know there are a lot of positive reviews about APC and its products but as a first-timer into the UPS space I'm beyond unimpressed. Not only has the unit failed to switch between battery and wall power fast enough to prevent a sudden computer shutdown during an outage on multiple occasions ( the sole purpose for this product existing), but the quality and design of the product need to seriously be reviewed by APC Engineers. I Purchased this product less than three years ago, and in that time I have gone through three units. My first one shut off during a power outage and refused to turn back on. After being sent a replacement free of charge the second unit was dead on arrival, and after receiving a third unit that powered on I thought all was well. Then less than 10 months later I turned off the unit to relocate it in my apartment, and upon trying to turn it back on it started smoking with a horrible odor and set off the fire alarms. I'm almost certain a capacitor blew (Which is toxic) and means I now will have to put up with a 4th unit in less than 3 years. I want to say I'm just seriously unlucky but I've seen numerous reviews and discussions on other sites about this same issue, and customers going through 2-7 units in the lifespan of one battery (3-4 years). This unit has numerous flaws from mosfets cracking from being at the upper limit of their rating, to capacitors blowing from once again being stressed to their upper limit, to the PCB itself being of poor quality and resembling a "90's hand-soldered PCB" quoting a review on amazon with photos to match. For the (Pro) badge and this being APC's most expensive consumer household product I find this to be a disgrace and a cash grab more than a renowned product meant to have any vital/important equipment attached to it. Its ONLY saving grace is the connected equipment insurance policy that comes with the product, but what's the point of buying this product if it just increases the likelihood of damaging your equipment? I'm likely never returning to APC unless they can get this hot mess express turned around. I honestly suggest just a high-end surge protector and a high-quality PC power supply, while it sucks that your pc will still shut off unexpectedly, at least it greatly decreases your chances of failing and damaging sensitive, well-made electronics.

Great so far, definitely recommend over BGM1500B.
I have only had this unit for about a week, but has worked great so far. Much better than the BGM1500B which immediately arc flashed upon first use. I returned that without any issue but could not get the newer version BGM1500B-US at the APC web-site or any of their affiliates that I have heard of (only one affiliate claimed to have them in stock, but I did not want to order from a business that is completely unknown to me).

Great except for the battery hookup experience
Overall, like most APC devices, this is a great device. I have a previous model design for this UPS and I love the newer design except for one thing - the battery hookup. Hooking up the battery on the previous design was much easier, now it requires messing with an actual wire which isn't a bad thing in general, but APC made the wire length awkward, too stiff, and with a very weak outer sheath that is surrounded by sharp plastic. Trying to hook up the battery without damaging the wire was an absolute chore I don't wish to do again.

Great UPS
A UPS is like buying life insurance, you hope it is not used, and so far mine is still on vacation. I like the surge protection for not only my hardware but for my coax and ethernet. It has just the right wattage and backup time for my application. It is also takes less space and is a little lighter than most other UPS. I'm glad I bought it.

Unexpected UPS Failure
I have had this unit since mid-April and it has got the job done on two occasions, but tonight it tripped offline, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. The display indicates only 50% load as I write this review, but when it tripped my computer wasn't being used. I bought this device to prevent this from happening! Any ideas?

A must have if you are prone to power outages.
Some things you don't know you need until you have one, this is one of those things. A must have if you work from home, are a student or an avid gamer in an area prone to power outages. Can power your TV or even a desktop with internet connection as well for anywhere from 94 minutes on, depending on how many items are plugged in and needing the power. It's nice to have the backup even just temporarily to help you get anything you need done in the unfortunate event of an outage. Takes about 24 hours to get a full charge on the unit itself which is fine because the battery stays strong .

Amazing Backup Power!
This backup power supply is awesome. It comes in at a hefty 27 lbs, but it is solid! It came with a systems check to show that all the components were in working order, which gave me a big vote of confidence in this item. There are plenty of plugs for my needs and it is the perfect solution to any kind of power outage, making sure that automated doors and other cameras are still up and running like we need them to. I’m very happy with it and I feel safe and secure knowing that if there is an issue with power, I’ll be covered.

Great Backup Tower
I recently got the APC Back-UPS Pro, 1500VA/865W, Tower, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. This UPS has become an essential part of my home office setup, providing reliable backup power and protection for my electronic devices.
The tower design is sleek and fits perfectly into my workspace without taking up too much room. The LCD display on the front panel gives me all the necessary information about battery status and power levels, making it easy to keep track of its performance.
With 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, I can conveniently connect multiple devices at once. It's a relief to know that my desktop computer, gaming console, and other electronics are all protected during power outages and voltage fluctuations. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature ensures a stable power supply, keeping my devices safe from harm.
The inclusion of USB Type A + C ports is a thoughtful addition. I can charge my mobile devices or connect other USB-powered accessories without any hassle. It's a versatile feature that eliminates the need for extra adapters or cables.
One standout feature is the user-replaceable battery. When it's time for a replacement, I can easily do it myself without requiring professional assistance. It saves me time and money while ensuring that my UPS remains operational and protecting my devices.
I've been impressed by the performance of the APC Back-UPS Pro. During power outages, it keeps my devices running smoothly until power is restored or I can safely shut them down. It has provided me with peace of mind, preventing data loss and damage to my electronics on multiple occasions.
In conclusion, its def worth the money and the peace of mind my stuff wouldn't be all messaged up

Sooo handy!
I have worked from home for 10+ years and live in the country so we lose power pretty often and when I don’t have power or internet I of course can’t work. I lose my progress and calls and all also. With this backup I can save my work and still have enough power and internet to notify my customer and management also. And then if it’s not off for hours I have enough backup to continue working until it comes back on also. It’s such a convenient thing to have for anyone but esp if you’re working from home or even in general period it’s awesome to have. And when you live in the country and lose power and internet often often like we do also. Super handy!

Excellent UPS for home network setup!
I'm a computer enthusiast who runs a home server, NAS, and PoE networking gear for multiple APs and it's very important to me to have my computing gear stay online as much as possible because I self-host a lot of services, including my home automation system, Home Assistant. In particular, I don't want my NAS hard drives losing power suddenly in the middle of writes in case my home power flickers. I've been looking to upgrade my UPS for a while and was excited to get the opportunity to test out the APC Back-UPS Pro. I couldn't be happier with this UPS as an upgrade for my home network setup!
The 1500VA capacity of the Back-UPS Pro is fantastic, which more than doubles my previous UPS's capacity. Not only that, it looks great under my desk and resembles a small desktop tower computer. I love the LCD display that shows information about power status, load and battery runtime time. It has 10 standard power connectors on the back, 5 of those connectors are battery backed, and the other 5 are surge protection only. I love that this UPS features AVR to smooth out voltage fluctuations to help my various power supplies last longer.
I love that I can hook up this UPS to my Linux server via the included data cable and interface with Network UPS Tools (NUT) to customize power loss alerts and gracefully shutdown my entire infrastructure if it's been on battery power for too long. I wish I didn't have to special special cable to get this to work though. My absolute favorite part about this setup is that I can hook up NUT to Home Assistant and Grafana to graph my entire network's power usage over time!
Overall, I'm super-happy with this UPS – It has tons of power ports, the LCD screen is very handy, it features AVR, and has a huge 1500VA capacity that should keep my system up and running for many minutes in the event of power failure. This is hands-down the best UPS I've ever owned!

Beefy Backup BR1500MS2
Purchased this unit to protect key computing devices, to include a Synology DS1520+. The total load, according to the APC front panel, is one bar. So, with the little equipment I have hooked up, this should run for quite awhile. However, on a test run (pulled the plug to simulate an outage), the unit drops from 78-minutes to 58-minutes runtime within 30-seconds and the battery monitor dropped from 5-bars to 3-bars in the same amount of time. This was quite surprising, given this is only hooked up to four devices and a minimal draw. I didn't let it go beyond a minute / minute and 1/2 as it seemed to settle at 58-minutes and I didn't want to needlessly cause long term drain on the battery. On a positive note, this interfaces beautifully with the Synology, it automatically alerted me, and was prepared to shutdown to preserve data. So, all things considered, the battery in the APC or it's suspiciously rapid drain makes me wary on how long this will hold out on standby, but it seems to work and given these facts I'd say worth a solid 4-stars. Could be better if the drain wasn't as bad, but pleasantly adequate.

Power Outage and Unsafe Voltage Levels Solved!
I got this APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA/900W Tower to protect and provide battery backup for all of my office devices during thunderstorms and power outages and it works great! With 10x NEMA 5-15R outlets and USB Type A + C ports I'm able to plug all my devices in including 2 monitors, 2 laptops, 2 bluetooth headsets, wireless keyboard, cable modem, wifi router, and charging cords for cellphones, tablets, etc. And the other day when I did experience a power outage it did keep all the devices in my office up and running until power came back within a few hours. The LCD display also provided the handy battery backup level status I needed and I found it also had a "mute" button to disable the beeping that most units like these send out during outages that was very handy during my last power outage.
With this Back-UPS Pro i'll never have to worry about power outages or unsafe voltage levels effecting any of my powered devices in my office ever again! Thank-you APC! 5 Stars!!

I've used a back-up for years but this is hands down my new favorite thanks to the combination of ease and features. The user replaced battery is a "must" for longer term use and the features, functions and other input/output configurations are perfect for either serious home use or small business, at home/remote work etc... Living in Florida and doing some remote work time to time means afternoon thunderstorms and power surges that can disrupt or cause the loss of hours of work - this provides instant coverage to support a collective save and shut down without worry. Ample ability to connect most electronics including computer, router, monitor/tv and more, simple visual display and intuitive connections.

Love APC backups
I have been using APC backups for about 15 years and have never looked back. This is another great addition and is used in our living room setup. It does not last anywhere near as long as it is advertised for but that is to be expected based on load. We use it for cases that the power trips, so that we can shut everything down correctly and safely.

Runtime
I have a cable modem, phone base, and NAS (Synology DS216j) plugged into it.
I noticed the NAS causes the load to vary depending on CPU load, fan speed, etc. This may explain the runtime variations another reported.
I would like to have some sort of network management to monitor the unit in more detail, as the USB interface is connected to the NAS, but at this price range I see as a great value.

Not all Battery/Surge outlets work
The top right battery/surge outlet had my wireless router plugged in because it was so long I didn't want to block other battery backup outlets, this way it only blocked the surge only outlets which I don't use. On the right the top outlet is labeled batter/surge and the rest on the right are surge only. I had two power outages and lost connectivity - I couldn't figure out why until I moved the wireless router to one of the outlets on the left. So this unit has issues in how the outlets are configured. I wanted to contact technical support but they are closed on the weekend and I work during the week.

User replaceable battery and provides enough power
I used to have a different version of UPS battery backup but this one is an upgraded model that has much more features and power than my previous one. I love the fact that the battery is user removable/replaceable as eventually this part requires a replacement. UPS is an important equipment to protect electronics devices from power surge as this product regulates and stabilizes the power. It also provides power when there is no electricity for up to 6 hours. Additionally, it allows you to add an external battery pack to add more juice. This UPS has 900W or 1500VA capacity with 10 outlets, USB A/C, coaxial and gigabit data ports. I connected to the main router/modem and all of my audio systems /TV. When power is out, my internet will still be available. Make sure to connect the internal battery cable before the first use. It comes with a 3 years manufacturer warranty. This is one of the battery UPS backups that may last for a long time.

Strong Battery life!
Plugged it multiple sources to this UPS; Computer/TV/Audio Receiver/Cable Modem. Since I didn't have a power outage to test, I pulled the power. This did not disappoint. No temporary power loss and maintained it's battery life as needed until I plugged it back in from a brief amount of time. Great alternative to a standard power strip, especially when you don't want interruptions.

Best back up power tower
When we have power outages, which we get quite a lot in our area, electronics can get ruined with power surges. I've had that happen go me. I've decided to get this power tower to protect my electronics from getting damaged.
Whenever we have power outages, internet goes out which makes me stop my work. With the tower, I can connect my modem to it and have uninterrupted internet service.
When I am working and power goes out , everything goes out. With this power tower I can plug everything in and it can keep running for some time. Phones and tablets can get charged fully quickly as well as other battery operated electronics.
The power tower comes with 10 outlets, automatic voltage regulator, USB Type A + C ports. The tower has clear LCD screen.
Wonderful battery backup.

I have used APC backups for years now and this one is just as reliable as the previous ones I have used. It is easy to get set up and running. Failover is flawless. I would expect it to be a little more wallet-friendly for the feature set but it isn’t quite overpriced. There are more affordable options. It does the job well and can have a pretty decent load on it. All in all it’s a solid addition to any office.
