Good Job Steve! I always find your videos informative. Keep it up!
Great video, definitely informative to the beginners out there!
Good video dude! I subscribed! I didn't know much about UPS systems but now I do thanks to you and your video. Thanks dude, keep up the good work! 👍🏽
I like this video. Pretty straight forward; not a wannabe geek guy trying to appear friendly and fun, or using "up talk" to look tech savvy.
This works, honest and plain english. Nice! thank you
I’ve had an APC unit and it has covered my computer in a couple outages. It’s nice to know what all the numbers mean! Also, had no idea there was an online connection. Great info!
Great video! Keep up the good work! In my case, I am currently shopping for a UPS back-up system for a router/modem/VoIP system...
I love these detailed videos. nice job !!! I just picked a couple of these up from Amazon and im looking to replace my older basic models. The older ones just cant handle the load im putting on them, so hopefully these will fit my needs. I like the pc screen info so you can look at it better. Im assuming there are Mac versions too ?
You have a great radio voice.
lol hes warning us
Dude you literally made my life sooooo much easier thanks
The dog that appeared in the right corner reminded me to subscribe. Love the video.👏
Good video Guru, I am sold!
good video....... you sound like John Goodman
Excellent information. Thanks!
Very informative. Thanks!
Very helpful information...great video!
Thank you so much for your video. It is so helpful for me as I have this in my recording studio.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS!
Thanks for good explaining ups.
Great video, I was debating on whether to install PowerChute or not. I'm still not convinced but I'm mostly concerned as to why I have only 15-20 minutes left if the battery was to take over. I do have a few things plugged in and I just bought it about 10 hours ago. So is it not fully charged even though the indicator on screen says it is? I have the BX1300G.
your videos are very informative. Even though just like you, im more familiar with the technical side of PC's, its still nice to see basic learning videos like these. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated
so glad someone got a video about this.
great video, tnaks for your time to share this info!!!
Very useful video. Thanks a lot.
I am having trouble re-setting my back up APC NS-1080. I have unplugged, re plugged and hit the re-set button in the back with no luck. any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
Very informative, thank you.
Thank you! you answered all questions I had
Hi ,
V nice Video. I have one question about the backup time of ups I have one ups 6kva with built in batteries 12V9AH total batteries are 20 No out put voltage is 240 V I want know at full load how many minutes my UPS will work ?
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Thank you!
nice if you're in an outage-prone area but i'd like to see a backup unit go several hours rather than an hour+. nice vid steve.
So helpful! Thank you so so much!
You have a voice like tupac shakur. Life goes on boy! Rock n roll to the world!
Thank you!
Good stuff man :)
Useful. Thanks you.
nice video. love the intro.
This video is video is very informative. Thank you :)
Thank you! I plan on getting one soon
Quick Question sir would it be ok to plug in my internet modem gaming pc and 144hz monitor to APC Ups? i have the APC Ups 1100li-ms
do the battery backup outlets also have surge protection as the surge only outlets?
after shutdown of pc and you off the ups, do you need to always plug it out of the wall socket? or jsut leave it plugged 24/7 (charging)? im confused some say plug it some say let it plugged
Thank you
What is the function of the Master and Controlled by Master plugs on the back of the unit. I just bought one and have no idea what theyre for exactly.
Hey Steve, I'm looking for a new PC. What brands do you think are good?
Hello,
Appreciate your guidance! First of all, my amateur "clean" power knowledge preceded a recent choice in selecting a UPS and was a purchase made under urgency given the random NE weather. This UPS unit is an Sinewave UPS 850VA 510W PFC setup as back up power for a 650w PSU home office (PC tower power). My ridiculous Q; Could you help clarify the "Greenpower" technology passing power through a Transformer and express how to bypass the constant battery load demand on incoming utility power? Or is it just the inverter which demands a power hungry mode? Translated: Can a UPS be regulated to operate without demanding constant energy? My aim as it would be for anyone, is to maintain affordable energy costs yet have backup power on demand. Perhaps power up the unit in real time when weather conditions become unstable? If my question(s) require further clarity, and it is certain that they will, please advise.
Many Thanks!
Thanks a lot
It has been a bit, would you say the UPS is working well as a pellet stove battery backup?
hahaha! love the way this video started
I have a psu 1000 on my pc this ups works fine for my computer? Thanks
Thanks for the informative video.
What is the noise level on this UPS? Mine has a cooling fan that is as loud as a small plane.
Thanks again.
Same BR1500G
Hi.
In the back of my UPS i can see IN and OUT sockets for internet (maybe for a cat5 wire) what is the usage of these?
( I have read that is for modem protection).
Please answer with step by step details and maybe with pictures if possible.
What to do with these? Which wires i need to connect on IN and which on OUT?
What i want to do is to protect my computer from thunderbolts and such on the winter time.
Is it possible to root the internet connection through the UPS to my computer?
Thank you.
hey thanks a lot, very good information. do all units have replacement batteries and if so, how and when do you know it is time to replace them.
Dennis Behm when it doesn't charge or doesn't last long. The batteries are like 20 bucks a piece, just look up your model on ebay and boom
Thank you for explaining this to me. I think that I need to purchase one of these for my computer. In Houston, during Hurricane weather (i.e., summer), power goes off a lot. This would help. Also, I think that I could take some lights up to my Public Storage unit and use a BB-UPS to light it. YOu think that would work? Have you ever done something like that -- with low watt 9-W new LED bulbs?
I have a 775W PSU. Do I need a 775W or more UPS or could I go with something less? I am running dual GPU setup.
I bought a USB A male to male connector, connected one end to the PC and the other end to a USB A female to RJ-45 male adaptor and connected that end to the UPS... the PC doesn't recognise the UPS.
Do I need to buy a straight RJ-45 male to USB A male adaptor like you've got your self or can I explore alternatives - simply because the cable you have is quite pricey.
Thanks
do i need to plug apc anytime i used my pc? i mean becausecmy pc is conn3cted to the apc so the apc should be plug anytime right?
Very informative instructions for beginners for APC. My question is I have NEXXTECH ULTIMATE 600 w 1000 VA uninterruptible power supply. On the back there is in the middle indicator light for wiring fault.. which is on. When I first turned it on it was beeping turning on and off but as I kept it plugged in it has now stopped. My display shows 100% battery capacity the output 60.0 Hz, output is 0.000 kw, low capacity has a little icon on the left but showing nothing and then in the middle of the screen it has an icon normal output 0% estimated runtime 100 minutes input 125V. Does this seem in good working order? I noticed your load capacity has a scale I can see that mine does have the scale for the amount but it is empty is this worth saving? And can I get the software for this too? I'm also unsure how you would replace the batteries? Been searching for a manual guide for the system as well Been unsuccessful! Thank you so much for your video and your time, looking forward to your response.
Can you put a surge protector/extension on the battery back up?
Can you use this to power up your laptop with power coming from a generator? Generators don’t produce clean energy so would this ups help with the fluctuations of a generator?
I have one of these. No use for it really so my question is. Can I take this outdoors to charge my phones and lipo batteries for rc cars when I'm out at events like racing, or baseball games?
Hi sir , I got APC battery back up from Walt-mart and I would like to know how many hours to charge up to battery? Is it 8 hours or 24 hours to get a full charge.Please let me know as possible .Thank you.
Does the battery meter fall from 5 bars quickly as in to 3 bars within a minute ? (Talking about the digital meter on the ups)
i have ilogic blazer 650va how do i charge it? i forgot how bc i havent used it in a year
Are there any big differences between the Pro (amazon) and NS (Best Buy) models?
Great video. I was wondering if you can hook this up to multiple sources at one time. You showed in the video how to hook it up to your desktop but can you hook it up to two pcs & maybe a tv at the same time?
Stanley Overby probably not a TV but you may find a USB cable splitter.
Great vid
Hey buddy nice info. I have a question. Do I have to turn off the UPS when I am not using my PC, for example at nights when I turn my computer off. Thanks a lot.
I am trying to find the same. I can't find anyone giving answer to that.
You guys ever find out ?
So can I use it as a surge protector and as a backup battery for my PC at the same time??
Good Video Keep it up
Hi Steve!
I have the APC Back UPS 1000
For some reason, my battery is not passing power to the rear “Battery Backup” ports, even though the battery is installed properly and is displaying full on the front LCD panel
Help!
Hey, anyone knows it's better to turn off every day or keeping suspended?? Thank you
Does cyber power have similar software?
I have a Mac and and I'm missing the cord, also when the load is full what do you do?
I have a cyber power 1500va. when I plug in the data cable no window show up I have not found out to open a window for the data.
There was a cd with it . If you have any ideas please let me know. thanks for the video....
hey, I need this to not go below 100v ac to keep my equipment active.... How do I do it?
Good video
I like the older uuints that cannot be hacked from internet or any-other source of input , info to you is also info to others when hacked ! i have never ran internet connection on any back up due to that very reason ! Older units also have a transformer and are better than the switching system used in newer units = smarter units are not always better or safer for long term use ! Just my findings , good video friend !
The intro is gold hahahah
The laptop has a built in battery so you may not need the UPS and let the UPS run the desktop computer longer. My small Tripplite UPS just runs the ADSL modem and the 8-port Links Giga SW. Thank you for a great video !

Can you connect a power strip to the ups?
Please show us how you connect the red and black wires in the back of the UPS to the battery-it's a brand new APC BX1000M-LM60-thanks
If you're going to power a pellet stove with this, make sure the stove doesn't use an induction motor for the exhaust fan, or that the UPS outputs an actual sine-wave and not a setp-sine waveform! Induction motors cannot run on step-sine waveform! Unfortunately those kind of stoves almost always use induction motors and this type of UPS does output step-sine waveform (I got he same).
So if everything ran well with no problems, I would be very surprised. (I hope it did though!)
Luv yer accent! That made the whole video worth the watch :D
Nice
nice video! thank you :)
APNI SAKAL DAKHI HAI
Interesting display, but there are more than just 2 battery outlets, it is the entire left row, the top two on left and the grey ones on the right use a power command feature so that when the pc, which should be getting its power from the master plug, is no longer drawing current above a programmed setting, the other grey plugs turn off. But the are 4 battery outlets and 4 surge only outlets.
Can anyone answer me please How do you reset the event trigger when the power goes out
Does anyone know why it has a external ground screw? I'm thinking it would be for add on units only, but i don't know.
Is the APC unit used instead of or in addition to a surge protector?
Hey! Good video. I subbed.
Quick question. What if I were to plug a power strip on the backup battery outlet on the unit? For example, I plug in a power strip that is feeding a monitor, desktop computer, and a powered external hard drive, into the battery feed outlet. Would it still keep powering flowing to all three pieces of equipment? Obviously it would probably slash the battery time significantly but at least give me time to properly shut it all down?
Thanks!
+TheBlevinsNetwork Yes you can, I do it all the time without problems. Thanks for subbing!
Very nice my friend. Thanks for the response and I will continue to watch your videos. All the best!
+GuruBrew Hi, please could you tell the battery replace number for this UPS XS1300? or send me the link please. Thanks
Great video and voice lol
Upon first install did ur battery flash and beep continuesly? Because I’dk if I have a bad batter
Or there is something I’m missing on the set up. thanks to whomever responds.
Should you keep a ups plugged into electricity 24/7? Will it not shorten its lifespan?
Does the unit have to be showing the litup screen in order to be charging or can I turn off the screen and unit will remain charging or charged or does it completely turns off?
Do you know if this eats up a lot of electricity? Does it affect your electric bill?
Hi can I leave my ups plugged in and on 24/7.
Or should I just leave it plugged in and turned off at the power button
havoc nice..
I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE. I've bought a 1400 APC UPS,
The sound beeps 4 times every 30 seconds. It runs on battery power even though its plugged in a socket till it goes of eventually.
