Know before you buy
Yes. The CP1500PFCLCD provides a pure sine wave output, which is specifically designed to be compatible with active PFC power supplies found in most modern gaming desktops and workstations.
The unit features 10 total outlets, but only 5 of them provide battery backup and surge protection. The remaining 5 outlets are surge-only, meaning they will not provide power during an outage.
Yes, the batteries are user-replaceable. The unit uses two 12V/8.5AH sealed lead-acid batteries that you can swap out without needing to replace the entire UPS system.
AVR corrects minor power fluctuations, such as brownouts or over-voltages, without switching to battery power. This helps maintain a stable voltage for your electronics while preserving the lifespan of the internal battery.
Yes, it includes dedicated ports for network (RJ-45) and coaxial cable protection, which helps prevent power surges from traveling through your data or cable lines to damage your connected equipment.
At a full load of 1000 watts, you can expect about 2 minutes of runtime, while a half load of 500 watts will provide approximately 11 minutes. This is generally enough time to safely save your work and shut down your system.
