I own three of these and their 2,000VA 19" rack mount one. These have been awesome (one year of use, lots of power bumps/outages). They have never failed me. Pure sine wave 1,000w is 1,000w. Others rated at 1,000w with modified sine wave, expect 20% less power.
@ChrisDIYerOklahoma, Hey there neighbor, I'm in Oklahoma as well, OKC here. I was wondering about your setup, are you using these all in tandem for extended run time, or all separate? Thanks
The biggest "con" with any of the modern UPS units, at least that I'm aware of, is they still use some sort of lead-acid chemistry battery. This means even the very best of them will only last 3-5 years, sometimes even less than that. Why the manufacturers of these devices haven't switched over to the much more voltage-stable lithium iron-phosphate battery chemistry is beyond me. They must own stock in a lead recycling facility, or something?
Yeah i'm not sure why either. Lithium is expensive. I've seen a couple but they are lithium ion, so it looks like the chemistry is just starting to show up.
@@SystematicHardware - At this stage of the game, lithium iron-phosphate batteries aren't very expensive, especially if you're looking at a UPS as something you'd like to last 5-10 years. At the prices being charged for some of these products, it's unconscionable that they're still using lead-acid batteries.
Have you ever seen a lithium ion battery fire? It can literally burn while submerged underwater. I’ll take that lead acid battery please over lithium ion just for the peace of mind that it won’t burn my house down.😂
Would have been nice to see a photo of the rear output with the number of sockets out for devices and whether US and Euro/Schuko outlets are available.
I was really hoping to see an oscillograph image of the output voltage on battery power. The issue I have is that I've seen multiple contemporary datasheets and Cyberpower supplied user documents for the exact SAME model where the spec for this parameter varies using four different descriptions to describe the output waveform. In particular, the "PFC Sinewave" datasheet seemed written in a way that they could claim it was "certified" to support Active Power Factor Correction PSUs, but never actually came right out and said it was a "pure" sinewave anywhere in the document. That was not reassuring. 1) "Pure Sinewave" 2) "Adaptive Sinewave" 3) "Sinewave" 4) "PFC Sinewave" An image of the output voltage waveform on battery power would really help.
It's amazing how this active pfc vs ups compatibility issue still persist along with online ups never designed with 12cm or bigger fans. 2 of the greatest mysteries of our time :D
I have had 2 of the Cyberpower 1500va/1000w UPS's and I found that at most I get only about 2 years before they DIE! About a week ago my second unit failed and when it does I loose power to everything. I am now replacing the unit with a Goldemate LFP batteries in it. I also plan on adding more LFP batteries to the UPS unit to make the backup time much much longer.
3:25 That's because it is. Those printers use your standard, generic USB 2.0 type B connectors as does the CP1500PFCLCD. It's a fairly common type of USB connector for for single purpose hardware to use.
Did you download the software as shown in this vid for it? I’m assuming it’s worth it since the voltage regulation controls and automatic regulation like he was saying. I’m going to avoid downloading it if it’s fine to do so
@@vader7306question I’m about to purchase this for my gaming rig and was wondering did you download the software that came with it? I was shown in this video or no did you skip it all completely?
I just found out that this unit will apparently support the CyberPower RCCARD100 which can be installed in the removable card bay on back and provides a lan port for web app based control. So this would be a huge advantage over the APC sine 1500va unit imo.
I use this at a remote location to keep it equipment powered during intermittent power outages. Unfortunately this unit will not shut down in time during an extended outage to keep the battery's from being damaged. Ask me how I know.😀
I have a router and modem connected … they don’t take up too much power and the battery last like 2.5 hours. Is there any way I can make the battery last longer by messing with the setup on the display?
They need to at least also start including USB-C cables. I work from home in cyber for the Feds and both my work and personal laptops only have USB-C. The only USB-A I have are on docking stations. Maybe wifi or bluetooth as well as USB-C?
hi guyz i need to verify i learned that APC ups has a software that turns off the desktop computer when battery is nearly used up which is very handy for me because i might be at work when power outage might happen. now does this cyberpower has this software feature too ? tia
Great vid. You helped me decide to get this unit and after a few months I love the device... however: The software is total garbage. If you don't need the auto-shut down feature (the only real reason to use their software) than you don't need to install their software. If you want to monitor UPS loads and outputs this can all be done with Hardware Info. Hardware info can access all the device data through USB connection without needing the CyberPower software installed (because as I mentioned the cyberPower software is junk). The cyber power monitoring sofware eats up WAY more resources than it has any right too and it has caused system hangs for me.
It depends on the circuit. Most 15 amp circuits run at 120v which max wattage is 1800w. So if you are using both units at its max rating, then no. However if you have a 20 amp circuit, then yes. It's max wattage is 2400 watts. If what you have that draws power isn't going to max out a typical 15 amp circuit, then yes you can use two.
is it actually pure sinewave tho? in the manual it says its adaptive and other people have said that it is NOT a pure sinewave so you cannot plug appliances into it.
I was thinking about using an oscilloscope to take a look at the wave, but technically Cyber Power states its a PFC Sinewave, standing for "Power Factor Correction". I'm actually trying to find out what the difference between pure and pfc is now. I might do a video on it.
Straight from the Cyber Power Website (In quotes), "The equipment with active power factor correction (PFC) design requires Pure Sine Wave source. The UPS provides pure sine wave to meet the requirement of the equipment, enhancing system efficiency and saving electricity costs."
Another quote from Cyber Power, "The CyberPower Systems PFC Sinewave UPS safeguards mission-critical server, network, and telecommunications equipment that require seamless pure sine wave power." So i'm feeling more confident of pure sine wave. Still feel like comparing APC and CyberPower with an oscilloscope.

Yes, I have first hand experience on this. If you have a conventional gas generator, these ups units won't be compatible, as they don't like "dirty power". My Champion pure sine wave inverter generator has no problem with all the UPS units at my residence.
Questions 1. If this UPS is fully charged and turned off and is plugged out why does it make the beep sound and won’t come on? It only comes on when it’s plugged into a outlet 2. Should I keep this plugged in in my outlet always? Would it harm the battery and its life cycle? Or do I need to unplug and turn off when not in use? 3. How to use this device to make it lost for atleast 6 years? Because the last time I had one of these it’s only lost alittle over a year
Not sure I understand question 1. If the unit is not plugged into the wall and you turn it on, it should beep at you (assuming the beep is enabled) to notify you of no grid power. For question 2 ups units are primarily lead acid and you don't want to drain them unless absolutely necessary beyond 50%. Leave it plugged into the wall and on is fine. Questions 2 is the answer to question 3.

I read that the v2 models don’t have the glue issue which is what would cause fires. The model with the flip up display are v3 so those should be safe as well.
Hello, does the mute button mute the beep sounds whenever the UPS is on? I would really appreciate your answer since I am tired of not being able to turn off that sound in my current UPS unless I remove parts.
There is an audible fan noise when avr kicks on and when it loses power all together, but in my opinion it isn't that bad. If you want silence when avr kicks on then go with APC
@@SystematicHardware AVR? I'm sorry, I don't really understand what this is. You mean when it switches to battery mode? How often does this AVR turn on?
What if my PC guzzles up more than 1000W? I mean, it doesn't do it all the time but during certain workloads it's very much capable of shooting above that.
The ups will cut power for safety and your computer will insta-shutdown. Unfortunately any ups over a kilowatt is going to be expensive, but worth it depending on how much you lose power intermittently.
Oh, I kinda thought UPS is supposed to be something like more advanced version of power strip, and as such to be able to handle similar amounts of power. I mean, my 12$ power strip from supermarket is capable of handling up to 1800W! Anyway, thanks for clarification, I think I'll stick to my good old, nothing-fancy-about-it power strip that served me pretty well so far, and just keep my eye on any incoming shoddy weather.

I think you'll be ok. Max wattage for that unit is 1000w and I doubt you'll come close to that load. You can get a watt meter and keep an eye on the wattage prior to purchasing, if you want to be sure.
Hi there. I bought a second hand OLS1000EC, which is roughly the same . Works like a charm. Only thing is .... The fan is always on ( very loud industrial 80mm, delta style...), noise is simply unbearable. Googled, seems normal... Fan replacement is very tricky to say the least . So on your model can you confirm that during normal operation ( othee than power shortage) this unit is silent with no fan running permanently? 😅
Sounds like it could be automatic voltage regulation kicking on. On the display - You would be able to see the incoming voltage from the wall and then compare it to the outgoing. If that's the case you can fine tune the voltage range to be less sensitive.
@@SystematicHardwarebeforehand , thanks for answering 👍 si you mean the fan is supposed to kick in like any other UPS in case of battery switching or external current regulation = NOT supposed to be on at ALL TIMES ?

@@burgundyhome7492 That square USB port on the back is "USB B" which is used for USB OTG (devices that have their own power like a printer or your PC). That square port is so the UPS can talk to your computer or NAS over USB and tell the computer how much charge is left in the battery (and the computer or NAS will then decide when it absolutely must shut down before the UPS runs out of battery). The other two USB ports on the front are for charging things.
i dont know i just left mine plugged in went to bed got up started using it next day zero issues with my setups i usually get about 30 minutes to an hour before they shut down as long as im not heavily gaming.
It depends on the load of the PSU at the time of an outage. It should grant enough time to gracefully power down the PC, as that's the intended purpose
if china goes big then the response will big so protect your system is important and apc cyber back up power needed but any way it kept everything stable and prevent extreme surge
I have a computer with a power of 1200 watts and some RGB lighting devices. Do you think this device is suitable for me??? Usually the electricity fluctuates and goes a little higher and lower than the standard
@@MartinShorlek If you look up a power supply calculator regarding your hardware specs, it calls for roughly a 850w power supply. It all comes down to how much power draw your specs pull from the power supply. So even though you have a 1200w power supply doesn't mean a 12900kf and a rtx 3090 ti will draw that much. I think it'll be fine but if you're that concerned and you can spend more money, check out the CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS System. It's max wattage is 1500w which will give you plenty of extra headroom and will come close to maxing out a typical American 15 amp circuit.
I still use some coax with a moca\ethernet converter in remote bedrooms, don't really know if buying the older version with coax would be worth it but that unit has only 900w vs this unit with 1000w???
i love them ok but you buy inverter 8000 watts have up 6 12 volts battery 200 amp lithium and sola panel change battery run much long than those the only thing that can run your fridge stove heater A/C your hold house washer dish water dryer etc ok i have 1100 watts inverter will out do that ok tell me how volt and how watts am putting and how battery i have ok
This brand is a fire hazard! After about 5 minutes of battery mode, the transformer over heats and starts smoking and lucky that I was testing it so I was able to shut it down before it caught fire. No heat dissipation for the transformer that puts out 900w! Cheap and unsafe design!

@@burgundyhome7492 That square USB port on the back is "USB B" which is used for USB OTG (devices that have their own power like a printer or your PC). That square port is so the UPS can talk to your computer or NAS over USB and tell the computer how much charge is left in the battery (and the computer or NAS will then decide when it absolutely must shut down before the UPS runs out of battery). The other two USB ports on the front are for charging things.
this review could have been more in-depth. we didn't even get to see the backside of the unit
Hi. I just got this, i got a question. How long do i have to charge the ups before it can fully run my gaming pc?
Depending on the battery charge, it may take 24 hours or so
i dont know i just left mine plugged in went to bed got up started using it next day zero issues with my setups i usually get about 30 minutes to an hour before they shut down as long as im not heavily gaming.
How long will this unit power a 850w power supply- pc with 1 monitor?
It depends on the load of the PSU at the time of an outage. It should grant enough time to gracefully power down the PC, as that's the intended purpose
I recently bought the 1500, plugged it in to charger the battery but no power in the unit.
Do you have a solution?
you should be using power panel business
if china goes big then the response will big so protect your system is important and apc cyber back up power needed but any way it kept everything stable and prevent extreme surge
If that happens, my UPS unit is the least of my worries!
LOL! Best answer ever!@@SystematicHardware
I have a computer with a power of 1200 watts and some RGB lighting devices. Do you think this device is suitable for me??? Usually the electricity fluctuates and goes a little higher and lower than the standard
What's your computer hardware specifications?
@@SystematicHardware 3090 TI . 12900KF .32GB RAM .CPU COOLER 360 .4 ssd
@@MartinShorlek I think you'll be alright with that Cyberpower unit. Don't go any lower though.
@@SystematicHardware Isn't this a risk?
@@MartinShorlek If you look up a power supply calculator regarding your hardware specs, it calls for roughly a 850w power supply. It all comes down to how much power draw your specs pull from the power supply. So even though you have a 1200w power supply doesn't mean a 12900kf and a rtx 3090 ti will draw that much. I think it'll be fine but if you're that concerned and you can spend more money, check out the CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS System. It's max wattage is 1500w which will give you plenty of extra headroom and will come close to maxing out a typical American 15 amp circuit.
Can I run my WiFi when power outages for days?
7:57 what case is that?
Zalman M3 Plus with PcCOOLER Halo Fans
Who are still using coaxial this days???
I was, but not anymore. Switched to fiber
I still use some coax with a moca\ethernet converter in remote bedrooms, don't really know if buying the older version with coax would be worth it but that unit has only 900w vs this unit with 1000w???
i love them ok but you buy inverter 8000 watts have up 6 12 volts battery 200 amp lithium and sola panel change battery run much long than those the only thing that can run your fridge stove heater A/C your hold house washer dish water dryer etc ok i have 1100 watts inverter will out do that ok tell me how volt and how watts am putting and how battery i have ok
An you would only have $5,000.00++ invested!

This brand is a fire hazard! After about 5 minutes of battery mode, the transformer over heats and starts smoking and lucky that I was testing it so I was able to shut it down before it caught fire. No heat dissipation for the transformer that puts out 900w! Cheap and unsafe design!
