SCHNEIDER APC Back-UPS Pro Premium battery backup and surge protection for your critical devices

Deep analysis of runtime:

Running time is the core indicator for measuring UPS performance. The running time mainly depends on the total load (watts) of the connected devices.

Scenario 1: Entry level home office

*Equipment: * entry-level desktop computer+20 inch monitor+modem+router.

*Load: Approximately 40 watts.

*Performance: * BR1000MS can provide up to 92 minutes of running time; BR1350MS lasts for 110 minutes; BR1500MS2 lasts for 150 minutes.

*Analysis: For low load scenarios, even the entry-level BR1000MS can support over an hour and a half, which is sufficient to cope with most regional power outages.

Scenario 2: Medium sized Workstation (Laptop+Desktop)

*Equipment: * laptop+gateway+modem+router.

*Load: Approximately 79 watts.

*Performance: BR1000MS takes about 53 minutes; BR1350MS takes about 66 minutes; BR1500MS2 takes about 94 minutes.

*Analysis: As the load increases, the battery life decreases, but BR1500MS2 can still provide nearly an hour and a half of support, which is sufficient to complete the current work and backup.

Scenario 3: High load gaming PC

*Equipment: * Gaming PC+24 inch LCD display+external active speaker+modem+router.

*Load: Approximately 240 watts.

*Performance: BR1000MS takes about 16 minutes; BR1350MS takes about 22 minutes; BR1500MS2 takes about 32 minutes.

*Analysis: The instantaneous power consumption of gaming PCs is relatively high. Although the running time is relatively short, a window of 16-32 minutes is crucial for saving game progress and safely exiting the game during power outages. Especially for esports users, power outages may result in account bans, and the backup time during this period has extremely high value.

Scenario 4: Multimedia Entertainment Center

*Equipment: * 42 inch LCD TV+game console.

*Load: Approximately 335 watts.

*Performance: BR1000MS only takes 10 minutes; BR1350MS takes about 14 minutes; BR1500MS2 takes about 21 minutes.

*Analysis: * This is a scenario close to full load. BR1000MS can only provide 10 minutes of support, which is obviously not suitable for this high-power application. This once again emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate UPS model based on the load. For such scenarios, it is recommended to use BR1500MS2 or higher power models.

Installation, maintenance, and certification

Physical dimensions and installation:

Back UPS Pro features a compact tower design. Taking BR1350MS as an example, its dimensions are 10.47 x 3.9 x 14.5 inches and its weight is approximately 22.48 pounds. This size can be easily placed under a desk or on top of a cabinet. The chassis color is black, which is easy to integrate into most office or home environments. Comes with a random 6-foot input cable for easy connection to wall sockets.

Equipment protection and warranty:

APC provides industry-leading device protection policies for the Back UPS Pro series.

BR1000MS&BR1350MS: Provides equipment protection up to $250000.

BR1500MS2: Provides device protection up to $500000.

This means that if the device fails to prevent voltage spikes and damages the devices connected to it, APC will bear the corresponding repair or replacement costs. This policy greatly enhances users' confidence in product security.

In addition, Back UPS Pro comes with a standard 3-year warranty. The battery models are all replaceable designs:

BR1000MS corresponds to the replacement battery APCRBC160

BR1350MS corresponds to the replacement battery APCRBC161

BR1500MS2 corresponds to the replacement battery APCRBC163

Users do not need to purchase a new UPS, they can simply replace the battery pack to extend the lifespan of the equipment, which is an economical and environmentally friendly approach.
