POWERFUL is the best way to describe this "computer"! There's no point in asking it to host a game when it does so well on its own!
As of now, it is March 2016 since I bought mine in August 2008. As of now, I only see the software telling me that the batteries need to be changed, so I would consider the battery life superb for me with no maintenance required. Its state contrasts with another CyberPower unit I had, a CP1000AVR, and another APC unit I had, neither of which lasted close to as long as this one. It is difficult to recall if those units didn't have a line-interactive capability, but I can assure you that the UPS has been excellent with zero maintenance to date.
Around five months ago, I purchased an APC BR1500G to build a high wattage new computer system. I was delayed in my build as a result of my academic duties. While I cannot predict when the power will go out, I use my UPS (four CyberPower 1000s, and the yet unused BR1500) to supply light, power for my receiver (for listening to local radio broadcasts), and power my iPhone and two iPads. Before the hurricane hit, I plugged all five units into the wall in the afternoon of Sep 9th so that they could be fully charged. Because it was twice as heavy as the CyberPower units, I was going to expect great things from it. I expected it to function to its full potential, since it was a new program. On Sep 10th, Hurricane Irma hit Naples in the late afternoon it produced tropical winds of up to 60 mph At about 6 p.m., there were four winds, and the power went out. It is 0030. Trying to prepare the APC for its role for the evening while it was still light, I ran through its setup. I tried, in vain, to coax the unit into power for over an hour. When I tested the battery, I found it fully charged, but when I inserted it in the APC, it remained unresponsive. When the battery cover was cut off and I lay it on its side, I could get power from it, but I had intermittent current from the AC side. Giving up on the APC, I used a CyberPower UPS that I thought was among my newest models. I was able to power three 35W LED lamps and the receiver via CyberPower's first unit for over eight hours the first night I used it. This battery kept going for an additional three hours the second night, while powering the receiver, supplying light, and charging the three iDevices all of which had run low Both the second and third CyberPower units that I tested (one of which was at least three years old) gave similar results. I didn't figure out how to install the fourth UPS until the fifth day after the hurricane was over. It says on the warranty instructions for the BR1500G that the faulty unit should not be returned to the seller but instead sent directly to APC. As a result, I ate my mistake and placed the BR1500 in the refuse bin with all the rest of the hurricane debris (I removed the battery and kept it). We seldom lose power for more than a few seconds during an outage without a hurricane, and most of them last for one minute or less My CyberPower units suffered frequent Brownouts of 2 seconds, so I never really got to test them in use This week I will finish the computer build I began in May during my Thanksgiving break. To me, the CP1500 CyberPower was simply the best choice when it came to backing up the new computer.

I see from the back of your coffee maker that it uses more power than that. As of this morning, I looked up the power consumption for a normal Keurig home brewer and it is 1,500 watts at peak.
APC is the company I will stick with. Despite what it displays on the LCD screen, it doesn't output the power displayed on it. I recently tested it with my voltage meter and found that it indicated 86v, while it stated 120v during an outage. There are 7 volts in this battery. You must not do that. There is a reading of 113 on my meter. It is v. In my opinion, Apple's specs are truer, so I prefer to trust them. I also find the cyberpower menu setting annoying because if my power drops below 100 volts, it should automatically flip on the battery to boost it back to the normal range, but instead it just drops me to 89 or less! Protection is not what you need! It could harm electronics if you do that. Cyber Power will be the last time I buy anything.
With this UPS, I was able to watch my 70" TV and use Roku3 streaming services. It was impossible to use either device following a lightning storm. Earlier this year, I filed a claim with CyberPower under its "Connected Device Policy". A total of about 2 months of emails and information went into the process. While waiting for the TV to be repaired, I obtained it from a professional who noticed that the power supply had failed. My claim was denied on CyberPower's review of the unit, and I was notified accordingly. am not aware of any other possible reason for 2 electrical devices to blow their power supplies, but buyer beware - If you have a connected device policy, you are not protected.
The following problems have been encountered
(1) CyberPower's published specs for this unit can be found at These specs indicate that this unit should be able to power a "Desktop PC + 17" monitor combo For 90 minutes, you'll need a 24-inch LCD monitor. About 500 Watts of power is consumed by such a configuration. As a test, I used a configuration that draws only 180 Watts (measured using Configuration 2 should run when such a configuration exists. Based on a 200 Watt computer and monitor configuration, it works out to 250 minutes (4 hours and 10 minutes). Based on my tests, the running time was approximately 40 minutes The actual cost of CyberPower is less than a sixth of what is advertised. (2) Whenever I disconnect the power from the mains, my digital alarm clock begins to run four times as fast, i. e. , 0 to 24 hours. Due to the delay in time, it advances by one minute roughly every 15 seconds, defeating the purpose of an alarm clock with backup power. A good UPS shouldn't be bought from these companies. The year 2018- Update for Friday, 26 November According to Peter, CyberPower's published specifications contradict the information in the document. In Peter's opinion, for the desktop PC, the running time is 17 hours, 9 minutes An hour is equivalent to six minutes on an 18-inch monitor. What will be done about the information published by CyberPower? It is "no". The alarm clock issue he brought up caused him to claim that it must have been bad design.
This is a rewrite of the original review, which wasn't particularly positive. It turns out this power supply is somewhat fickle when it comes to deciding when it is going to work and when it isn't. Sometimes, depending on how much load it has, the unit will be unable to function as an uninterruptible power supply AT ALL. UPCs that are unreliable are no more useful than ones that don't work at all, so I've downgraded it from two stars "doesn't work as advertised" to one star "doesn't work at all". A word of caution to the buyer I'm not sure if the original review is still available A power supply such as this should not be recommended. Our plan is to use it as a backup in case there is a very short black out or brownout. To sustain power for the backup generator to kick in, it needs to run just long enough to sustain power. To keep the computer power supply running, it must provide sufficient current so that the computer systems are not interrupted by power surges. On the front, there is a convenient display that shows you how much load capacity the unit has. Today, we finally ran a test on it. more than 50% load capacity, it cannot power the two systems that are connected to In other words, while technically it serves as an uninterruptible power supply, it is only able to function on systems that are a tiny fraction of its.
It has a safety hazard. The "no battery" side of a UPS had never needed to be used until now. I was surprised at how a one-inch spark (more like a flame) came out when I attempted to plug into that side. There is no problem with the battery side of this unit. I would not recommend it.
