Product Description

The Back-UPS RS offers high performance protection for your business and office computer systems. It provides abundant battery backup power, allowing you to work through medium and extended length power outages. It also safeguards your equipment from damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility, phone and network lines. A distinguishing feature of the Back-UPS RS is automatic voltage regulation (AVR). AVR instantly adjusts both low and high voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations, saving the battery for power outages when you need it most. Award-winning shutdown software automatically powers down your computer system in the event of an extended power outage.

Customer Reviews

great so far
I'm very pleased with how small this unit is for the capacity. I've worked with a number of other units that have been larger and frankly too ugly to be sitting out in an office, this unit is right at home deskside. I think that there's a lot of functionality here for the money.


I'll want to dig deeper into the unit and see if there are any diagnostics. A UPS with a weak battery is a time bomb, so it's good to stay on top of battery health.

Not sexy, but does the job!
Having a UPS is like having a spare tire in your care - you ususally don't think about it until you need it. I've had one of these for two years and so far it's worked perfectly. I recently bought one for my wife's computer and so far it's working perfectly. We haven't experienced any blackouts, but we do get irregular voltage. I recommend plugging the UPS into a good surge protector. The APC UPS has a surge protector built into it, but surge protectors degrade with repeated surges, so why no wear out a $30 surge protector and save the UPS? I highly recommend American Power Conversion UPS's and this BR800BLK model has been great.

Equipment Protection Policy is a SHAM!
Just know going in - if your equipment gets fried, they won't pay you a dime. They will blame it on anything from faulty building wiring to bad grounding and deny your claim. Why don't they just print '$500,000,000,000 WARRANTY' on the box - if they don't intend to stand behind their product? I had one computer system that was wireless and it's only link to electricity was through an APC battery. Lightning struck and it died and started to smell burnt. I sent in the claim and the unit & got what looks like their standard protocol - sorry, no replacement. The system was only worth $200 which is far less than our company spends annually on batteries. I won't use APC again.
