Product Features
Technical Overview
This 1500VA/900W line-interactive UPS incorporates automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to boost or trim incoming voltage, maintaining stable output without draining the battery during brownouts or overvoltages. The pure sine wave output matches utility power quality, preventing issues with active PFC power supplies and sensitive electronics. A 1080-joule surge energy rating protects connected equipment from voltage spikes, and an audible alarm alerts users to power events or low battery conditions.
The internal lead-acid battery is user-replaceable, with a typical recharge time of 16 hours after a full discharge. Single-phase 120V input and output align with standard North American power, and the unit carries ENERGY STAR 2.0 certification for energy efficiency. Environmental compliance includes REACH regulations, and the product is backed by a 3-year warranty for the UPS and a 1-year warranty for the battery.
