I like this video. Pretty straight forward; not a wannabe geek guy trying to appear friendly and fun, or using "up talk" to look tech savvy. This works, honest and plain english. Nice! thank you
I’ve had an APC unit and it has covered my computer in a couple outages. It’s nice to know what all the numbers mean! Also, had no idea there was an online connection. Great info!
If you're going to power a pellet stove with this, make sure the stove doesn't use an induction motor for the exhaust fan, or that the UPS outputs an actual sine-wave and not a setp-sine waveform! Induction motors cannot run on step-sine waveform! Unfortunately those kind of stoves almost always use induction motors and this type of UPS does output step-sine waveform (I got he same). So if everything ran well with no problems, I would be very surprised. (I hope it did though!)
Interesting display, but there are more than just 2 battery outlets, it is the entire left row, the top two on left and the grey ones on the right use a power command feature so that when the pc, which should be getting its power from the master plug, is no longer drawing current above a programmed setting, the other grey plugs turn off. But the are 4 battery outlets and 4 surge only outlets.
Hey buddy nice info. I have a question. Do I have to turn off the UPS when I am not using my PC, for example at nights when I turn my computer off. Thanks a lot.
I love these detailed videos. nice job !!! I just picked a couple of these up from Amazon and im looking to replace my older basic models. The older ones just cant handle the load im putting on them, so hopefully these will fit my needs. I like the pc screen info so you can look at it better. Im assuming there are Mac versions too ?
after shutdown of pc and you off the ups, do you need to always plug it out of the wall socket? or jsut leave it plugged 24/7 (charging)? im confused some say plug it some say let it plugged
your videos are very informative. Even though just like you, im more familiar with the technical side of PC's, its still nice to see basic learning videos like these. Thanks
I like the older uuints that cannot be hacked from internet or any-other source of input , info to you is also info to others when hacked ! i have never ran internet connection on any back up due to that very reason ! Older units also have a transformer and are better than the switching system used in newer units = smarter units are not always better or safer for long term use ! Just my findings , good video friend !
My grandfathers friends brother on my dad's side says that APC for ups's is a good brand, and he was in the computer type of line of work type of deal.
I have a cyber power 1500va. when I plug in the data cable no window show up I have not found out to open a window for the data. There was a cd with it . If you have any ideas please let me know. thanks for the video....
Very informative instructions for beginners for APC. My question is I have NEXXTECH ULTIMATE 600 w 1000 VA uninterruptible power supply. On the back there is in the middle indicator light for wiring fault.. which is on. When I first turned it on it was beeping turning on and off but as I kept it plugged in it has now stopped. My display shows 100% battery capacity the output 60.0 Hz, output is 0.000 kw, low capacity has a little icon on the left but showing nothing and then in the middle of the screen it has an icon normal output 0% estimated runtime 100 minutes input 125V. Does this seem in good working order? I noticed your load capacity has a scale I can see that mine does have the scale for the amount but it is empty is this worth saving? And can I get the software for this too? I'm also unsure how you would replace the batteries? Been searching for a manual guide for the system as well Been unsuccessful! Thank you so much for your video and your time, looking forward to your response.
Thank you for explaining this to me. I think that I need to purchase one of these for my computer. In Houston, during Hurricane weather (i.e., summer), power goes off a lot. This would help. Also, I think that I could take some lights up to my Public Storage unit and use a BB-UPS to light it. YOu think that would work? Have you ever done something like that -- with low watt 9-W new LED bulbs?
Great video sir, two questions please. 1. this thing needs to be plugged in permanently to the outlet? and 2. the internal battery will only charge automatically when the unit is plugged in to the outlet? Thanks.
1. Yes think of it as a power strip with surge protection. It also has a power button. If it's not plugged in it will run on battery until dead. 2. Simple answer: yes. He doesn't give justice the the program. There is a lot more you can do.
I am having trouble re-setting my back up APC NS-1080. I have unplugged, re plugged and hit the re-set button in the back with no luck. any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
I like the external battery approach. A UPS daisy chain should work in theory, since if you unplug the chain from AC, the first UPS in the chain will start providing AC power to the next in line, until it's battery fails. Then the next UPS in line kicks in until your down to the last UPS which your PC or whatever is plugged into, which will continue until its battery is finished. Talk about a Rube Goldberg though. :)
I thought so too ... before I tried it. It didn't work. Because as it seems UPSes cannot run off of step-sine waveform. And the problem is that almost all affordable UPSes do output step-sine waveform (Line-interactive and Offline types). The secondary UPSes detect this as "dirty power" and start drawing power from the battery even though power is applied by the other UPS. So as the mains power cuts off, all of the UPSes on the chain will switch to battery power. (I've tried that personally) In order for this to work, you have to either use really cheap UPSes that don't have the "dirty power" detection circuitry, or some expensive UPSes that do output an actual sine-wave waveform. Those do exist. They are called On-line UPSes. Almost all On-line UPSes do output true sine-wave (No, it's actually all of them, it's integral part of their functionality). The last UPS on the chain can be form the normal type that outputs step-sine (Line-interactive, or Offline, the later are of the cheap type)
If I just used my Bluetti EB3A power station with UPS mode on, and plugged my Spectrum modem/router into the AC outlet on it, I would have wifi even in a power outage (that didn't effect Spectrum)? 🤔
If you’re using the monitor only for the laptop which has a screen, you can stretch your battery by only plugging the laptop into the battery circuit. Should about double your minutes.
Hi Steve! I have the APC Back UPS 1000 For some reason, my battery is not passing power to the rear “Battery Backup” ports, even though the battery is installed properly and is displaying full on the front LCD panel Help!
Hi , V nice Video. I have one question about the backup time of ups I have one ups 6kva with built in batteries 12V9AH total batteries are 20 No out put voltage is 240 V I want know at full load how many minutes my UPS will work ?
The laptop has a built in battery so you may not need the UPS and let the UPS run the desktop computer longer. My small Tripplite UPS just runs the ADSL modem and the 8-port Links Giga SW. Thank you for a great video ! Eyes UP and lights down, tjl Sent by Win7Pro64 w/ADSL
I have one of these. No use for it really so my question is. Can I take this outdoors to charge my phones and lipo batteries for rc cars when I'm out at events like racing, or baseball games?
Hi sir , I got APC battery back up from Walt-mart and I would like to know how many hours to charge up to battery? Is it 8 hours or 24 hours to get a full charge.Please let me know as possible .Thank you.
I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE. I've bought a 1400 APC UPS, The sound beeps 4 times every 30 seconds. It runs on battery power even though its plugged in a socket till it goes of eventually.
Can you use this to power up your laptop with power coming from a generator? Generators don’t produce clean energy so would this ups help with the fluctuations of a generator?
I just bought one, I live in NY, power is very reliable BUT every so often there's a slight brown out which really messes up my modem, printer, Wifi and streaming box. Frankly, I'm sick of rebooting everything, it takes about half hour or more by the time everything comes back on. Anything that keeps these things alive for 10 minutes is worth the price. Tired of my wife calling me at work and trying to walk her through all the re-boot process over the phone.
Does the unit have to be showing the litup screen in order to be charging or can I turn off the screen and unit will remain charging or charged or does it completely turns off?
Hello, Appreciate your guidance! First of all, my amateur "clean" power knowledge preceded a recent choice in selecting a UPS and was a purchase made under urgency given the random NE weather. This UPS unit is an Sinewave UPS 850VA 510W PFC setup as back up power for a 650w PSU home office (PC tower power). My ridiculous Q; Could you help clarify the "Greenpower" technology passing power through a Transformer and express how to bypass the constant battery load demand on incoming utility power? Or is it just the inverter which demands a power hungry mode? Translated: Can a UPS be regulated to operate without demanding constant energy? My aim as it would be for anyone, is to maintain affordable energy costs yet have backup power on demand. Perhaps power up the unit in real time when weather conditions become unstable? If my question(s) require further clarity, and it is certain that they will, please advise. Many Thanks!
Hi. In the back of my UPS i can see IN and OUT sockets for internet (maybe for a cat5 wire) what is the usage of these? ( I have read that is for modem protection). Please answer with step by step details and maybe with pictures if possible. What to do with these? Which wires i need to connect on IN and which on OUT? What i want to do is to protect my computer from thunderbolts and such on the winter time. Is it possible to root the internet connection through the UPS to my computer? Thank you.
I bought a USB A male to male connector, connected one end to the PC and the other end to a USB A female to RJ-45 male adaptor and connected that end to the UPS... the PC doesn't recognise the UPS. Do I need to buy a straight RJ-45 male to USB A male adaptor like you've got your self or can I explore alternatives - simply because the cable you have is quite pricey. Thanks
I want to replace the battery of this power supply because it can't power my needs anymore. But I have one problem.... I don't know how to remove the battery :( . Can you make a video? Maybe in your spare time....
Great video, I was debating on whether to install PowerChute or not. I'm still not convinced but I'm mostly concerned as to why I have only 15-20 minutes left if the battery was to take over. I do have a few things plugged in and I just bought it about 10 hours ago. So is it not fully charged even though the indicator on screen says it is? I have the BX1300G.
Which is the best practice for the UPS after the connected computer is shut down? 1) Turn off the UPS but let the UPS still plugged to main outlet (keep charging the battery) 2) Turn off the UPS and also disconnect it from main outlet (the battery would discharge slowly in this state) 3) Let the UPS keep turned on.

Liked! Question: Is it okay to plug the APC BR1000G Back-UPS Pro 1000 Uninterruptible Power Supply on a 220V socket? I lived in the Philippines, and I'm planning to order this on the link you provided on this video.
Great video. I was wondering if you can hook this up to multiple sources at one time. You showed in the video how to hook it up to your desktop but can you hook it up to two pcs & maybe a tv at the same time?
Hi Guru, the estimate runtime was at 111 minutes and when you unpluged it it chute very fast at ninety something. If you let it go it will ran out of juice in less than 5 to ten minutes. It happend to me with my 1300. I had replacement at costco and had the same probleme. Try to let it go without repluging and tell me if it is normal. I think that if it estimate 111 minutes it should last at least 2 hours our an hour and a half.
As the battery's get older they tend to not last as long. The on-board computer updates at intervals on a curve over time so there will be discrepancy's as it recalculates on current conditions.
Just so you know you're supposed to have the sensitivity to 60 percent (or 3 lines) on the load capacity bar. That's what the manual recommends for PCs. The way you have it set up is technically wrong. It would be nice if you touch on the subject and while you're at it show how to properly set up the sensitivity levels. Good video anyway.
Well a computer usually never runs at the max amount of wattage and if it does then you need to get a bigger one. The amount of watts on a power supply doesn't mean it's pulling that amount of watts constantly it's just how much It can pull. There programs to show you how much watts you are using and most likely your not using 1000 watts. But I do recommend in getting one bigger than 1000 if you running a computer because if you want to overclock you need to add more watts to that part which means more watts getting pulled from the wall. And if you want to power a monitor(s) you will also need to put that into calculation. Hope this helps :D
Even 8 years later this video still provides valuable information

What is the noise level on this UPS? Mine has a cooling fan that is as loud as a small plane.
Thanks again.

Thank you! you answered all questions I had
Is APC ups good quality compare to other brand? I want to buy one but don't know which brand is good

The voice sounds like he is warning you.
hey thanks a lot, very good information. do all units have replacement batteries and if so, how and when do you know it is time to replace them.
Dennis Behm when it doesn't charge or doesn't last long. The batteries are like 20 bucks a piece, just look up your model on ebay and boom
Can you put a surge protector/extension on the battery back up?
I have a cyber power 1500va. when I plug in the data cable no window show up I have not found out to open a window for the data.
There was a cd with it . If you have any ideas please let me know. thanks for the video....
So can I use it as a surge protector and as a backup battery for my PC at the same time??
Should you keep a ups plugged into electricity 24/7? Will it not shorten its lifespan?

Hi.
In the back of my UPS i can see IN and OUT sockets for internet (maybe for a cat5 wire) what is the usage of these?
( I have read that is for modem protection).
Please answer with step by step details and maybe with pictures if possible.
What to do with these? Which wires i need to connect on IN and which on OUT?
What i want to do is to protect my computer from thunderbolts and such on the winter time.
Is it possible to root the internet connection through the UPS to my computer?
Thank you.
Can this battery backup be used without attaching a computer/laptop and downloading software? Or do I actually have to install the software?
It has been a bit, would you say the UPS is working well as a pellet stove battery backup?
Does the battery meter fall from 5 bars quickly as in to 3 bars within a minute ? (Talking about the digital meter on the ups)
I bought a USB A male to male connector, connected one end to the PC and the other end to a USB A female to RJ-45 male adaptor and connected that end to the UPS... the PC doesn't recognise the UPS.
Do I need to buy a straight RJ-45 male to USB A male adaptor like you've got your self or can I explore alternatives - simply because the cable you have is quite pricey.
Thanks
I want to replace the battery of this power supply because it can't power my needs anymore. But I have one problem.... I don't know how to remove the battery :( . Can you make a video? Maybe in your spare time....
all the plugs on the left side are for battery back up not just the 2 on the bottom. right side is only surge protected
Does it charge when it’s plugged in?
Great video, I was debating on whether to install PowerChute or not. I'm still not convinced but I'm mostly concerned as to why I have only 15-20 minutes left if the battery was to take over.

Great video. I was wondering if you can hook this up to multiple sources at one time. You showed in the video how to hook it up to your desktop but can you hook it up to two pcs & maybe a tv at the same time?
Stanley Overby probably not a TV but you may find a USB cable splitter.

As the battery's get older they tend to not last as long. The on-board computer updates at intervals on a curve over time so there will be discrepancy's as it recalculates on current conditions.
It's okey to charge your phone in this battery backup?

if my computer power supply is 1000 watt does it need 1000 watt battery supply surge protection?
Well a computer usually never runs at the max amount of wattage and if it does then you need to get a bigger one. The amount of watts on a power supply doesn't mean it's pulling that amount of watts constantly it's just how much It can pull. There programs to show you how much watts you are using and most likely your not using 1000 watts. But I do recommend in getting one bigger than 1000 if you running a computer because if you want to overclock you need to add more watts to that part which means more watts getting pulled from the wall. And if you want to power a monitor(s) you will also need to put that into calculation. Hope this helps :D
Are there any solar systems that recharge UPS's like this?
I have a Mac and and I'm missing the cord, also when the load is full what do you do?
