Battery backup capacity and output

The APC Back-UPS Pro BN1500M2 delivers 1500 VA and 900 W of battery-backed power from a tower form factor. It supplies 120 V AC output and accepts an input range of 88 to 139 V at 60 Hz. Ten NEMA 5-15R outlets provide six battery-backed sockets and four surge-only sockets for connected equipment.

Who this suits and who it does not

Desktop workstations, networking gear and home-office electronics that need continued operation during short outages fit this unit. The 3.12 minute runtime at full load and 11.37 minutes at half load cover brief interruptions only. Buyers who need extended runtime for servers or high-power loads should consider a higher-capacity UPS.

Runtime at full load

At 900 W the battery lasts 3.12 minutes before shutdown, while half load reaches 11.37 minutes. Recharge takes 16 hours and the replaceable cartridge is APCRBC161. LCD status with load and battery bars, dual USB charging ports and coaxial data-line protection complete the feature set.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else to start using it?

The UPS ships with 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, a NEMA 5-15P input cord, one USB Type C and one USB Type A port, coaxial data-line protection and an LCD status display. A replacement battery cartridge APCRBC161 is sold separately for future swaps.

How do I decide between the 1500 VA rating and the 900 W rating when sizing my load?

Use the 900 W figure for the actual equipment load; the 1500 VA rating reflects apparent power. Stay under 900 W total draw to avoid overload.

What does the 3.12 minute full-load run time mean once the UPS is powering my PC and monitor?

At a full 900 W draw the battery lasts 3.12 minutes; at half load it runs 11.37 minutes. Plan for graceful shutdown within the shorter window.
