Description, highlights, and specifications from the retailer feed.
The APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500MS2 is a 1500VA/900W Line-Interactive UPS battery backup and surge protector delivering true pure sine wave output for computers, gaming PCs, routers, external hard drives, and home entertainment electronics. With 10 total outlets — 6 battery backup and surge protection outlets plus 4 surge-only outlets — this UPS protects your entire workstation or home office setup from a single unit. When utility power fails, the BR1500MS2 switches to battery power in as little as 8 milliseconds, delivering clean, pure sine wave output identical to your utility line — so sensitive electronics and Active PFC power supplies run exactly as designed, without the added stress simulated-sine UPS units can cause. Built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects low and high voltage fluctuations instantly without draining the battery, and a 1,080-joule surge energy rating plus coaxial dataline protection guard your network equipment against damaging power surges and spikes. The easy-to-read LCD display shows real-time load and battery status at a glance, and two USB charging ports (Type A + Type C) let you fast-charge phones and tablets directly from the unit. The user-replaceable battery (APC replacement battery APCRBC163, sold separately) lets you extend the life of your UPS without professional service, keeping your battery backup and surge protection performing at full strength for years. Backed by APC's trusted Back-UPS Pro series, a 3-year warranty, a lifetime $500,000 equipment protection policy, and ENERGY STAR certification, the BR1500MS2 is a reliable pure sine wave battery backup for protecting your data, your devices, and your connection to what matters most.
