CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector

The CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD provides 1500VA/1000W uninterruptible power supply protection designed to keep sensitive computer systems, workstations, networking hardware, and telecom gear running safely during electrical disruptions. It uses a sine wave output specifically compatible with Active PFC and conventional power supplies, preventing sudden shutdowns and safeguarding connected electronics from harmful surges.

Equipped with 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets, this unit divides connectivity into six battery backup plus surge-protected ports and six surge-only ports. It connects to wall power using a 5-foot cord fitted with a right-angle, 45-degree offset NEMA 5-15P plug, helping keep adjacent wall outlets accessible. On the front, integrated USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports supply convenient power for mobile devices without consuming standard AC outlets.

Internal Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) handles minor power sags and surges by stabilizing line voltage, allowing equipment to run continuously without constantly switching over to battery operation. The unit is UL safety certified, includes access to free downloadable PowerPanel Management Software for system monitoring, and is backed by a 3-year warranty that includes coverage for the internal battery alongside a $500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee.

While the unit provides 12 AC outlets, keep in mind that only six of them supply battery backup during an outage, with the remaining six serving exclusively as surge protection. The included power cord measures five feet, which limits placement flexibility if your wall outlet is farther away from your workstation setup.

Verdict: This battery backup is a dependable choice for anyone needing clean sine wave power and surge protection for computers, network hubs, and workstations. It delivers ample capacity, versatile outlet options, and solid safety assurances for sensitive home or office hardware.
