Amazon Basics 800VA 450W Standby UPS Battery Backup with Surge Protection

Michelle Ford: I got this to plug in my Starlink router since we have been having a lot of power fluctuations. It has already been put to the test, and I'm happy to say that the battery back up kept my internet uninterrupted. Do note that this does need to charge for 8 hours before you will be able to plug items into the UPS portion. Very happy with the quality especially for the price.

T. Stull: I've bought 6 of these and spread them out through the house for different important electronics. I've been very happy with them.

Today the power went out in my office while I was working. Ok no problem the battery should hold out. The beeping started to let me know the power is off. I checked the breaker & tried to reset it but it wouldn't stay. Within 10 minutes it was rapidly beeping and shut down on me. Unplugged everything in the room. Reset breaker & power was restored. Plugged battery back in and breaker popped again.

I guess I should've bought a warranty but it was probably more than the battery. I guess 1 out of 6 isn't bad.

Stan: Been over a year now and still doing a great job! With too frequent power blips, this unit has saved our network server on numerous occasions! Love the USB connection to see status too!

excudit: Getting the software for this thing is a complicated and inconvenient process. The steps listed in the manual that comes with it do not work. If you open the User Guide in the Product Description section it has links to download the software, but they don’t work either. Instead, they mention the name of the software, PowerMaster +. You need to do an internet search for that name, which leads you to the software developer’s website, and from there you can get the software.

Once you finally get the software downloaded and installed (choose local when it asks local or remote) you have to use a username/password to login. The defaults are admin/admin. When you get everything set up the software does give useful information, on the device itself, the UPS status (Input/Output/Battery) and a log of recent events. There are also menus that let you test the battery, estimate how long your computer will run on battery, and additional settings and reporting tools.

Amazon Customer: J'habite un appartement locatif et la pièce où j'ai installé mon ordinateur est protégé par un disjoncteur de sécurité qui coupait le courant à cause de mon imprimante avec mon ancien appareil. Celui-ci est parfait pour l'usage que j'en fais. J'apprécie le nombre de prises puisque j'ai plusieurs appareils qui y sont branchés.

GPS Spectrum Management: Just opened the UPS, so this is only about User Manual documentation in the section "Connecting to a computer" (on page 9 of both the PDF and printed versions), and working only from the amazon.com webpages.

The B07RWMLKFM webpage did not have any "Technical Specification" section. (BTW, the (first) warranty link on the top of webpage was also useless. It only says contact the vendor (Amazon)!) However, halfway down the webpage there are useful links under the "Product guides and documents" section. The "User Guide" has links to the computer s/w, although it's call "PowerMaster 1.0.5" instead of PowerPanel.

BTW, once you've installed the s/w and opened the app, use "admin" for both username and password (the first time, and, of course, change it within the app. That information can also be discover by clicking on the help icon on the PowerMaster login webpage.

Amazon Customer: Have had this going for about 4 months now. Works on my Unraid server and has successfully worked when we had a few power outages.

AH: Original review (scroll down for revised update)
OK, I appear to be one of the early adopters for this product & so far so good.
I have the 450W 800VA model.
Power cord & plug: right angle plug with the prongs rotated to allow easy access to the 2nd outlet = good. Power cord is about 6 feet = good
Casing is some grade of ABS plastic, it feels & sounds kind of thin, but as I an mot intending this thing to be a foot rest or a doorstop that will get impacts I am not concerned. Plastic finish is pretty good.
The battery comes already connected to the internal power cords - which I did not expect, I was thinking it would ship like APC units do where you open up the battery compartment & connect it yourself, which is a safety in shipping thing, but it was not the case. In the 450W unit you get a 9Ah 12V SLA battery. It looks like a normal standard battery that I can replace at some point in the future when it quits.
Plenty of outlets on this thing, which is a pro & a con. Pro - there are lots of them, con, this makes them pretty close together & so if you have any slightly larger power bricks you are plugging in, you might be forced to use every...
