Huge 2 battery Unit I love it so much I bought it again!
Huge. I will update in a few months. I received today and wanted to share my experience and provide tips.First, I did not notice ANY odor upon opening the box.Second, It is huge in comparison to APC units I have bought in the past. I was an APC fan until the unit internal systems broke down and would not work with new batteries. I Wanted to try different and narrowed this down to Tripp-Lite and Cyber-Power 1500.Tripp-Lite is 900 watts. I am running:-Intel I-7 core processor-power supply is dynamic 850 WATTS-32 GBs Ram-Windows 10-DELL 24 inch LED monitor-Yamaha Quad speaker with subwooferOutput is at 10%Out Watts 90, which is minimalEstimate backup is roughly 56-60 minutes, which is plenty, given I have a Kohler 20RES 20,000 K (with 200 watt entire house transformer) Generator. I live in Ohio in the country and my local company just randomly tested power and disconnected several homes without warning. I was on the computer when everything when dark. Not good. Then recently, our transform caught on fire. again without warning, and yes, I was computer. I am lucky my computer works at all, hence, reason for generator and buying this unit.Tips:-I recommend before installing, to look at batteries. just unscrew bottom and gingerly pull the front cover off but not too far because wires are connected. You will noticed TWO batteries are required. The support page for Tripp Lite will suggest (as well as in the manual), RBC 51 (two batteries). I suggest you search for RBC 5 battery set. Much cheaper (less than a single RBC 51). Also, I recommend you attempt to pull out batteries to experience the difficulty to replace these batteries. Not bad, but a little tricky.-the surge/battery protect outlets are on the right side (if you are facing the back side of unit), the non-battery outlets with surge protection only are on left side of unit.-Inside the box, the Smart 1500 comes with power (3 prong ground non-brick) cord, a 6 foot USB communication Port cord which needs to be longer (like 8-10 foot). Also, I attempted to use the existing USB port cord from my old APC unit and the computer did not recognize the Trip-Lite unit. This could have been fluke but when I used the 6 foot USB Port cord, it worked and showed in tool bar right side icon, charging. Keep in mind it also would show red x as though battery was not recognized. There is no software and no warranty card in English (it was Española).-when you test the unit, it will drop to 86% battery after testing. Just hold the test button for two seconds. Use mute button to cycle screen like output voltage, output load percent, Etc. when you unit test itself, it automatically will show estimated runtime. It will take about 8 hours to fully restore battery after plugged in so no worries.-Instead of installing software, use Windows, Linux, Mac power manager. Go to Control Panel or equivalent, go to hardware, go to power options go to ;change plan;. Look close and find: Change Advance Power Settings.; Now, scroll all the way to bottom until you see battery;. Click on the plus sign and make sure you set critical battery warning or equivalent if using other operating systems, to &shut down.The battery will charge in about 8-10 hours after you plug in. I will update when the next outage occurs and I will update in terms of when the batteries need replaced (supposedly not for 3 years).I hope this helps for now.Update: 6/19/20. I bought the Tripp lite UPS almost 5 years ago. I replaced the batteries once after about 3 years. The unit recently died. I was downloading Windows V2004 when everything shut off. I freaked out. The unit showed it had full battery charge but the unit would not turn on. So I unplugged everything and plug the PC and Accessories into a surge. Windows, thank God, kept downloading the huge update. I am grateful it did not shut off during install. OMG. I called Tripp*Lite and talked to a human being, which is nice. He was very helpful. He said the unit died and replacement of batteries would not help. So I purchased another 1500 LCDT. This unit works great during power outage. I mean i have had others that did not switch over fast enough. This unit has worked like a charm for 5 years. I have had several power outages and it just works. I know this is expensive but worth it. When I called the company I talked to a human being who was quite helpful. I love Tripp-Lite!

An Early Review
I have the 1500LCDX with the extended runtime battery. Two of them actually, located in my entertainment center.After unboxing and connection to mains power for testing, both units both came up correctly on startup, detected the extended batteries when the appropriate settings change were made and properly updated their respective estimated runtime accordingly. There was some initial high speed fan noise from both on startup, which is normal behavior – the same behavior you will see when the units go to battery power from mains – followed a few minutes later by low volume audible fan noise comparable to that of a PC.After fully charging both units I placed them into service.The low volume fan noise mentioned above was concerning at first as it was clearly audible in a quiet room. However, it was only loud enough to be heard during very (as in ‘very’) quiet passages while playing music and was inaudible when watching TV or movies. That said, even the low-level fan noise completely disappeared later on as the house was cooled by the AC later in the day. As I write this both units are running and are audibly silent and have been so for the past two days.On power off test, under load, both units immediately transferred to battery power and estimated runtime accurately adjusted based on the load being carried. The load from 75-inch Sony Bravia connected to Unit A was maintained without any evidence the UPS had switched over. Estimated runtime on Unit A updated to 110 minutes – very close to what I had estimated prior to the test.In terms of build quality, these don’t match the APC products of similar spec I have running elsewhere in my home (powering servers and development machines), but so far, they are performing up to my expectations and are significantly less expensive.If something changes, I will update this review. Suffice to say, if you see reviews stating these UPS units fail on switch to battery, have anomalous estimated runtime information being displayed, or are inordinately noisy, I can conclusively state this has not been my experience.

Buen producto, hasta el momento todo bien, ya que pase el tiempo actualizo la opinión. No es muy ruidoso pero ya se veráUpdate 3 meses después:- En general silencioso, pero genera un ruido de alta frecuencia algo molesto, solo si estas a un lado del ups lo puedes escuchar, por lo que recomiendo distancia.- Aguantó bien dos cortes de corriente dándome un par de horas ( con solo un modem, switch y un disco duro en red conectados) para seguir operando desde mi laptop.- Tiende a ponerse algo tibio tirandole a caliente en operación normal, por lo que lo tienen que ubicar en un lugar ventilado.- En mi caso, se presentó un comportamiento inusual. Cada cierto tiempo el ups amanecía apagado ( batería en 0 ) aun cuando la energía estaba operando. Sé de antemano que en esa ubicación hay cortes nocturnos algo frecuentes ( digamos una vez por semana ) y duran de 1 a 2 horas por lo que asumo que el UPS gastaba toda la batería y al regresar la electricidad no podía encender ( no tengo ninguna PC conectada por lo que no puedo mandarle la orden de apagado al UPS ). Compre un UPS Cyberpower y no ha presentado este comportamiento, tal vez falla mía por no investigar antes el comportamiento de este UPS.Cambie la unidad a una ubicación con suministro mas estable ( ya que funciona correctamente cuando hay cortes ) y donde tengo más control sobre el apagado.

Compré este No Break (1500VA) para proteger mi PC, Monitor, Pantalla y Xbox One. Sin ningún problema soporta lo antes mencionando tomando en cuenta que XBOX Y PC Juntos consumen gran cantidad de energía. Hasta 40 minutos de energía teniendo conectada la PC con fuente de alimentación de 750 watts, Pantalla Samsung 40 “LCD, Monitor Asus 27 “, Xbox One y el módem para la conexión de internet. El proveedor da 3 años de garantía para las baterias , algo que es muy aceptable. Soporta conexión USB que es una función muy útil para controlar el No Break. Viene con una entrada coaxial que protege los equipos conectados al módem del servicio de internet. Lo recomiendo ampliamente ya que con 3,500 de inversión en este aparato seguramente no compro más que la fuente de poder de mi PC. No duden en que es una buena opción para proteger y prevenir daños por falla eléctrica y tormentas eléctricas. Yo vivo en la ciudad de México y por las tormentas eléctricas se me ha dañado una Xbox 360 y los puertos Ethernet y usb de una PC. El envió es por parte de amazon así que no hay nada que decir más que rápido como siempre.
