Capacity and outlets

The APC BR1500MS delivers 1500 VA and 900 watts of sine-wave battery backup through ten NEMA 5-15R outlets. Six outlets supply both battery backup and surge protection while the remaining four provide surge protection only. A USB Type-C port and a standard USB port share 3 A of charging power for phones or tablets. The unit targets desktop workstations, networking gear and active-PFC power supplies that require pure sine-wave output during an outage.

Sustained-load behaviour

At full 900-watt load the internal sealed lead-acid battery provides approximately four minutes of runtime, enough for an orderly shutdown rather than continued operation. Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects input fluctuations between 88 and 147 volts without switching to battery, preserving runtime for genuine blackouts. Recharging the battery after a discharge takes roughly sixteen hours, so the UPS is sized for occasional events rather than frequent deep cycling.

Thermals noise and power

The UPS operates from a 120-volt, 60-hertz supply via a NEMA 5-15P plug and meets ENERGY STAR 2.0, FCC Part 15 Class B, NOM and TUV C-US approvals. Audible alarms signal on-battery status, low battery and overload conditions. The user-replaceable APCRBC163 cartridge is hot-swappable, allowing battery service without powering down connected equipment. No liquid-cooling or high-flow fans are present; the unit relies on passive convection and a low-speed internal fan for thermal management.

Questions about this item

How quiet is the APC BR1500MS when it runs on battery all day?

The unit is designed for home and office use with an ENERGY STAR V2.0 rating and automatic voltage regulation that reduces unnecessary battery cycling, keeping fan activity low during normal operation.

Which devices must I already have to connect to the BR1500MS for it to protect them?

You need equipment with NEMA 5-15P plugs; the UPS provides six battery-backup outlets and four surge-only outlets, plus one USB-C and one USB-A port sharing 3 A for charging phones or tablets.

Will the sine-wave output work with my older PC that has an active-PFC power supply?

Yes, the pure sine-wave output on battery is compatible with modern computers using active-PFC power supplies and also supports legacy equipment through the surge-only outlets.
