Power Capacity

The APC BX1500M is a line-interactive UPS rated at 1500VA and 900W with a 120V input and output. It provides battery backup and surge protection for desktop computers, networking gear, gaming consoles and smart-home devices during power outages. Ten NEMA 5-15R outlets are split evenly between battery-backed and surge-only receptacles. A USB port enables management and graceful shutdown software.

Suitable Use Cases

This unit suits home-office workers, gamers and connected-home owners who need minutes of runtime to save work or maintain an internet connection when the mains fails. Automatic voltage regulation corrects brownouts and over-voltages between 88V and 139V without draining the battery. Buyers who require longer runtimes for servers or multi-monitor workstations should consider a higher-capacity model. The 16-hour recharge cycle also makes it less suitable for locations with frequent daily outages.

Deciding Specification

The battery delivers 2.8 minutes at the full 900W load and 10.85 minutes at half load. If your equipment draws near the 900W limit, the window to shut down is under three minutes. Verify your actual power draw against these runtime figures before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What input plug does the BX1500M need to connect to a wall circuit?

It uses a NEMA 5-15P plug, which fits a standard 120 V 15 A receptacle.

Will the two outlet groups protect older gear that only needs surge suppression?

Five outlets provide battery backup and surge protection; the other five provide surge protection only, so legacy devices can use the surge-only group.

How can I confirm the UPS is ready after the first charge?

After the 16 hour recharge, the LCD should show the battery at full charge and the self-test will complete without sounding the low-battery alarm.
