The APC BR1500G-IN was the only high end UPS I could find for my high end PC, but the reviews on Amazon really don't give you confidence on this product, so I test and address the issues that may keep you from buying this.

APC BR1500G BR1000G 1600VA IN UPS Back UPS Pro
August 2020 Update: UPS started showing F02 Error, and it was just not starting up, and became completely non functional. But I called the Schneider service in India, and within 2 days they arranged for someone to visit my home, he came with a replacement unit with him, then ensured that my unit was faulty, and just swapped the replacement in place, but with the battery of my older UPS as it was UPS that was malfunctioning, not battery. This whole process took 5-10 minutes, so that was probably the best after sales service I've had with a brand. The new unit works perfectly.
Thankyou for helping your audience.I Appreciate your work truly.your way of reviewing is more helpful than a lot of other reviewers.:).
Hey Siddharth ,thx for this Ups review,Can you post the link in description of video how you managed to turn off the fan,I am planning to buy this but if the Fan will Run 24/7 it's a deal breaker for me
I just switched the power on and off a couple of times, and it switched off. There is a proper way of doing that if you google.
TechReflex hey i dont think investing in ups is good.i dont know for sure.i think its better to run it on home sine wave ups.i am running mine on home ups apc pure sinewave running fine.keep in mind if you want more time use a higher kva opt for 1500 watts for home ups.
The power button is hard to press not for some stupid reason but the reason is to protect it from accidental touches which may switch of all your important stuffs without your wish!
We need more people doing ups reviews. In Indian situation, UPS is super necessary. So thanks
Thank you for showing how to open the ups :) without destroying it
I was going to buy one but when I heard about the noise I backed down, I had bad experience with APC being extremely noisy in the past. Thanks for the info.
How loud is on idle ?
Brother what is the difference between inverter ups and PC ups?
What about fan noise?
Plz suggest
My main power cable for CPU is 16amp.
Does it have 16amp socket?
If not what is the solution?
16amp to 6amp converter plug .. its safe because a pc won't use more than 6 amps so 16amps sounds useless for a pc ..
nice review video. thank you
Finally some quality content in India
There is one more model APC Back-UPS BX1100C-IN 1100VA in Amazon. Can you tell me what is the difference
@TechReflex Hello, may I ask whether the RJ45 port connecting the PC and the UPS also double as a USB port for connecting to things like NAS? I can see "USB & Serial" is marked but the shape of the port doesn't seem to be a USB port at all. Thanks!
Hi there, Is this suitable for PS5 and 55" LG G1 , please help me out, Thanks.
No buddy numeric make very good online ups I use 2kv for my gaming rig its very good since numeric is a brand of Legrand switches

You TH-camrs Are Like Corporate Indian is kind of a different market and there a very good brand like numeric,microtek ect they make very good online ups since if you want to clarify go to atm center and look at the ups brand their won't be a single apc shit so don't do false review
@@Startekselva Which numeric model are you using?
go the linus way !! watercool it !
Need Advice : I need a Smart APC UPS for my 4 Rapberry pi's 4 and one Modem. Im located in EU.
Confused on how much wattage of the UPS I should buy, I have a high end gaming rig and here are my specs.
CPU: ryzen 5 3600
RAM: T-force delta 2x8 16gb ddr4 3000mhz
GPU: RTX 2060 SUPER 8gb
PSU: SEASONIC 750W
Do I need a UPS with a wattage higher than my PSU? Any advice would be appreciated!
I think you have only option to buy the reviewed product. This is the only product in indian mkt to give upto865W power, as far as I know.
Can it support a high end pc with processor 12900k, and GPU RTX 3090 ? or should i go for APC BVX2200LI-IN UPS ? Plz suggest, as i dont know much about Power consumption of my PC.
I'm running a CORSAIR 1200W HX SERIES PSU / ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA / Threadripper 3970X 32 & 2 ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 & NAS DS3617xs / DX1215, ASUS 27" Monitor on mine and it's fine
Awesome review
Dear sir, can you send me your PC configurations.
Can this wrk with xbox on x hdr10 games on 4kuhd hdr 10 TV 65" bec m having 600va variant where the moment i switch to hdr games my ups starts blinking red light 🤔....wch one I should go for plzzz suggest 🙏🙏
Yeah
Bro can I buy the USA version because it has more surge protected ports
And use it in India ?
The voltage is different there right
No, the voltage is different between USA and India, it won't work.

Is this ups good enough? U seem to have a better build than this.
Yeah, this will easily cover it
Good Info
Hey I got a question. I bought this UPS for my gaming pc a few weeks ago. What I want to know that, as the power draw from a psu is dynamic. Does the UPS pull it's rated capacity from the grid? Or is it dynamic too? Like this UPS for example, does it pull full 865 watts from the grid all the time or does it pull whatever the psu is pulling? My psu at most only pulls 450 watts at any given time. My system is 9700k and rtx 3070.
865 Watts is what the battery is capable of during its active cycle. This isn't what is always being drawn from the power grid. What ever your Current setup is drawing is what is being drawn from the Power grid.
@@chrisl2090 okay
How much is your battery backup now??
What the load when you play the games and push 3070 to lts potential ? And did this ups working even on full load ?
Power chutt😂
At this cost Why didn't you choose a separate inverter with ups mode just for pc load ?
I have a 1.5Kva inverter also but it usually fails at the time of heavy load i.e. while I am playing game on my PC, I have 850v power supply with 3070ti, I just purchased this UPS and I am still observing it
bought this is in 2018, still no problems yet. It powers my 5K iMac, an additional 24 inch monitor, a ps4, RGB strips and my router. Still gives 70 mins of backup on power cut.
No issues?
Total power draw of all item
PLZZ tell
The tech guy who knows his stuff to the fullest.. ❤
I have BR1500G IN ... Mine has a small problem the battery indicating bar is inconsistent... Its not accurate at all. In 5mins of 220 watt load back up... 2 bars vanish... But gives around 35mins with gtx 1080 running a game so m ok.
Pls dont buy this, Fan noise is too loud and it is not even stopping, i tried everything, The ups is kept in AC room only. i replaced it as well. Please dont buy unless u dont care about the loud noise
Arun Kumar did u have the usb connector
@@bhupendraone yes, I have the whole thing, why?
What else do you suggest then, if not this?
Hello there. I have a RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio
And i7-12700k processor , 32 GB Ram , 6 120 mm fans and a 3 fan liquid cooler .
Can this product give backup ?
Yeah, that should be lower than 850w. May not be able to handle it on full load, but that shouldn't be a serious issue.
@@TechReflex Will APC 2200VA give backup under full load?
@@tushargupta3718 yes.
This is one of the worst product from APC. It cannot be recommended for a gaming PC. 865 watts capacity is just show off! During power outages it cannot handle a load of only 550 watts. The computer simply restarts. Their service quality is very bad. I am very disappointed with this product
Apc service support is worst but numeric ups their support is very good I been in using for more than 10 years my rig total cost 5 lakh numeric powers it very well

Where did the pc videos go you can make pc builds on your channel you should take my advice can you start with 50000 budget gaming pc please
I'm currently using an 1.5 years old ANTEC VP650P V2 PSU for powering a GTX 1060 along with APC BX1100C UPS. Do I need to upgrade my UPS and PSU for powering RTX 2070 or 2080 ? Please suggest
I think you'll be fine with your current PSU.
@@TechReflex ok bro
But 12v 100ah battery and 1kv inverter/ups cost around 16-7k which will give so much better backup na?
Yeah but they don't resume power as quickly as the UPS, and I've had my PC shut down even after having a sufficiently powerful inverter. Plus, the voltage also fluctuates more as compared to a UPS designed for PC, so while I do run my lower end PCs on inverter and rely on them for power backup, for this PC, a proper UPS designed for PC is a better solution.
@@TechReflex Yeah you're right, even the best inverter has lot of delay switching. Top end PC does need top end protection
Hi bhai, I have ryzen 5 3600, 16gb rgb ram, RM 750 corsair Asus b450 motherboard, I want an ups to get some time for turning off my 🖥 whenever my home electrical power cuts.
IMPORTANT - 3 main buttons on this UPS are touch buttons, you don't need to press them, touch the power button for 1 sec to turn UPS on and touch it for 4-5 second to turn it off, same goes with other 2 buttons.
Yeah, I've been using this UPS wrong everyday for 3 years. Surprising that I didn't realize that these are touch buttons after pressing them more than 2000 times.
Seriously ... I have been pressing and holding the power button for the last 2 years or so .. eager to go home and check it out.
10 year old outdated model. Apc didn't refresh this model with better features. It's time for it to be retired now.
Hi, could you provide the method you used to fix the fan always on problem? I am facing the same issue. And the problem is that the UPS does not charge battery while the fan is running, and the fan uses battery power to run.
Hi bro, I have a Cooler master 850 watts silent pro and it is directly plugged into 3 pin 10a socket(without issues). I am only going to use the PC along with 144hz monitor . Now to use them with this ups , Can I use a 15 to 10a converter plug and use it to connect to the same socket? Or should I do a wiring of 2.5mm and have a 16a socket setup? I would really like to know if a convert plug would solve my issue coz the landlord is bit hesitant to do the wiring .please advise
Fan working is based on temperature or it preset?...Nice review
Thanks, it seems to trigger on preset events.
Can this be used for a TV setup, Like a PS5, Sound Bar, Set top Box, WiFi Router, TV, etc etc
Yeah
I stopped watching at the 8-second mark and I'm still asking myself that question
Get a Microtek true double conversation online ups over apc offline line interactive ups.
So no need buy it. For power supply 1000w
Oh no.... just found out i have nasal boulders
Dude! You sound like my doctor! I trust this automatically! No lie! Thank you
Haha
Hahaha
What's that tattoo of on your right shoulder? Why is it hidden? What does it signify? Can we see it?
I knew people would begin to notice at some point. It shall be revealed when the time is right.
I am planning to buy one of olx its a out 4 years old and the seller said it has 5 to 6 minutes backup on an rtx 3080 and 5800x3d and 40mins normal load backup i have an i5 10400 and rx 6600 is 6000rs worth it for this ups
You may have to get the battery changed (may cost 3-4K) and make sure it doesn't show any errors like F02 while starting up.
@@TechReflex thanks for the info
Awesome review, please make video on redmi note 7 pro flash sale live so that we know is it easy to buy or is it fake sale from flipkart.
Hello, will this be able to handle 1000w psu, particularly a 12700k with rtx 3080.
I used power calculator online and maximum wattage of my build is around 820w, and this ups is rated 865w, so will it be fine?
I just need ups for a min before transferring to inverter, or to switch off pc in case of powercut. Also to protect from surges.
Should I go for 2000va instead?
Thanks for this review! Very helpful!
Yeah, I use it with 5950x with 3080 Ti now, and it also has other things connected. Max wattage of your Pc will be more like 600-700w.
@@TechReflex that's a big relief! Where would you recommend i should get this from, as on Amazon its very overpriced currently
@@LSC132 i bought from Amazon, I am not sure where else it's available, you could try looking around.
@@TechReflex what price did you get it for?
Can I just directly plus my pc to wall socket and use in my place current goes like 5 to 6 times a week!!? Does that affects my pc parts and also heard that these days PSU are smart enough to control any voltage change or damage without affecting any parts
Bhai Plz try to make A Video in Hindi Plz Bhai try it...
I have used APC BR1500G-IN but less backup time it is about 1minute . I used only 60% of load. Why is it less backup.
Have same issue. I did fill out a form for support through apc powerchute software... Awaiting Apc support response.
I got the same. 10 minutes at most. I ve filled form, they did not reply, I m in turkey and I purchased it from official retailer.
If you're using it on load, you'll get a 10-15 minute backup only, gaming PCs consume ~500 watts of power, that's a lot, even my inverter at homes doesn't last very long in a load like that.
i need battery backup of 2hour. which one to buy? In my area, electricity goes off for 1.5-2 hour.
Hey bro, I have recently purchased BR1500G. And I have doubt about 'Unit Sensitivity'. There are three General sensitivity, Default, Sensitive Load. What does it mean?
And also thank you for reviewing on this product.
It means how much of a change in voltage it would tolerate from the mains before switching to the battery. You can just keep it on default and forget about it.
@@TechReflex Thank you for the information. 👍
Hey brother, how's the UPS working now? I have a video editing PC with an SMPS of 865 watts. Is it going to be worth it?
in your review the ups can be seen outputting 243V when the input voltage is 243V.For sensitive electronic devices,the safe operating voltage is 200-240V.Do you think your equipments might get damaged if they are subjected to such high voltages (>240V) for a long time?
Being such a costly ups,i think it would have been good if it had the ability to step down such high voltages to safe levels when it exceeded the 240v mark.
looks like it doesn't regulate voltage upto a certain range, i purchased same ups and checked via multimeter
It turns on above 255+ I guess because where I live input voltage is 260+ and this ups stabilize it to 230+
Hey Tech reflex! , Which Ups can I buy for my 750w psu pc , and I will also use a monitor , so pls recommend me a ups! , And reply as fast as possible! ☺️
Can you help brother? I have a rtx 2060/i59600k and i use 750watt cm gold psu. And i have a ups but the problem is when my pc is idle and not using any power it can easily handle power cut but when i play high end games when my gpu and cpu goes above 80% it doesnt handle it. It just restarts my pc so what should i do? Will this ups help that problem?
Bro, MY PSU is XPG CORE Reactor 850Watt. The plug is 16A and not fitting in this UPS as those are 6A sockets. Can you tell me what can be done to fix it.
Hello friend, I'm Brazilian so I didn't understand the language very well, but I have one at home, can I connect the PC and the rest as monitors? I've seen some people say that it can break the source of the PC...
your psu is designed for 240 volts and you're happy with this product which is supplying 243 volts.. how come you can be so reluctant bro
It's not supplying 243V, but getting 243V from the wall. It will be supplying a more stable voltage ofc.
@@TechReflex no offense bro but at 2:38 you showed the output voltage yourself and it's 243. I purchased the same ups today, specs say it should give 230 volts output but upon checking with a multimeter (true rms one) i can see its not 230v constant output when it's on mains power
@@TechReflex can you confirm the output voltage
*can u tell me how this model is working now and is the new APC easy ups models over 1kva are better option for a iMac 27 inch 2020 ?*
Working well, I don't think iMacs consume a lot of power so >1kva should be fine.
Hey, can you help me with the same... I've also this ups 1500 with extra backup unit and an error is appearing, it's an older unit. So I want to know whether it is replaceable now ?
Old unit out of warranty will not be replaced, you can try contacting customer care to see if they can repair it.
Is it possible to connect to two different systems via usb ?
No
Hi, my psu and monitor both have a 15 amp plug which is not fitting in the back of the ups which is probably 6 amp socket. What to do ?
Don't get apc, they are offline ups, even at 17k, they give offline ups. Go for Microtek true double conversation online ups.
@TechReflex can I connect 16 A plug(with adaptor) and use it as long as it doesn't draw more that 865 watts. Please suggest.
Hii
Good sir
Nice video.... I've question though. What is the supply in milliseconds you would need here to last longer with household ups inverter power. Since I Have a zebion ups running at an ups inverter at home to backup the whole house. but my rtx 2080ti ryzen 7 3700x ups seems to shut down the whole pc after main supply COMES BACK( please note during failure pc runs fine just like every other household appliances and I'm gaming too), Even though the remaining household home appliances have been working fine showing no weired signs. What are your thought... certainly I've a video of making my build from scratch. just in case if you wana check.... Any thought 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I believe transfer rate of a ups is what it is called and it ranges between 1200 milliseconds for a build like us 3700x and rtx 2080 ti gaming x trio. It's scary everytime I watch it die. Please answer asap, if you know what is going on. Thanks in advance
How to charge it
How did you connect your PC's PSU to this UPS ? This does not have 16A socket.
@Techreflex Can you give a follow up review for battery backup & service.
how to turn off the fan bro? please tell
And that was a wonderful review.
Thanks
Hi.. Can you suggest a UPS for i7 4th gen, 2gb ddr5 GFX, corsair hydro cooler, corsair vs650 smps.. I wish to connect only the cpu to ups. I am confused between APC BX1100C - APC BR1500G - APC SRC1KI-IN 1KVA and APC SUA1000UXI. When I called APC they suggested SUA1500I-IN
I've just got one today and installed it and I can honestly say that I never even noticed an fan noise at all. They also now don't ship with a mains cable to power the UPS.
Bro now it's price is 17,999 Rs Right now.. I didn't know ke ye 14000 ka bhi milta tha kisi time pe.. Omg .. Offline bhi log 18k ka hi bech rhe hain.. It's a bad value i think.
Yeah price was increased, but I still haven't been able to find an alternative to this.
@@TechReflex yeah same here bro , i want best UPS for my beast pc but everyone is recommending APC 1550VA 865w and people still complain about it. I'm very confused because i can't purchase the best ups. 😕
@@SIDHUYT what did you go for?
can this ups handle RTX 3080 in full load for 5 minutes ? my current ups APC BX1100C is unable to take the load (CPU only). so i have to upgrade my UPS as soon as possible. my cpu power draw is ~ 800 Watt
Yeah that's why I upgraded too
my pc has a 1200 watt smps with 16 amp socket can i plug that into the ups?
Hey Bro, Do I need ups as I already have pure sine wave Inverter that says ups in the name?
Yeah, inverter doesn't instantly resume power many times, and the voltage can also fluctuate a lot more than it would with this UPS. I have a pure sine wave UPS inverter too.
@@TechReflex Can it work with Pure sine wave UPS? I mean we connect all our devices like PC, 4K TV, Router, etc. to this APC UPS and then we plug it into one of our Inverter supply plugs so will get extra protection for our devices but I don't know if its ideal or not...What do you think?
How do I turn off the fan 😭😭
lel. View my comment. :-D
Using the same UPS or changed it? It's fan just refuse to stop after a power cut.
3080ti 12gb oc , 9 5950x , ram 128gb , 2tb ssd , 4hhd, 360mm liquid cool, 32nich 2monitor
Which ups best ? Model?
What ups did you bought bro ?
thank you so much you saved my time
Glad it helped!
The same is costing 21k rupees now. Is it worth should I go for it? I think V guard offers similar ups with pure sinewave at lower cost.
Yeah, this is too expensive now. Not sure about V guard though, I think they generally make inverter UPS which are different from PC UPS.
Good
thank you for this review bro, it was really helpful for me.
Can i plug in uk plug in Indian version... As my cpu have uk plug but my monitor have round plug... Please sir help me out
Get different power cord for ups to Psu connection they're available on Amazon.
Hi Siddharth
can you explain how you turn off the noise of this ups. I bought the same one but the noise is too much.
Isn't there a better option yet?!
Don't think so
Dude what about active PFC compatibility?
We have been trying to reach you about your car warranty.
you are one handsome man Siddharth
Hi pls share extended battery back link
Thank you for the video, That helps
Why there is RJ45 socket at the backside of this UPS, Please reply
USB to RJ45 for the powerchute software to communicate to the UPS
