APC UPS, 600VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, BE600M1 Backup Battery Power Supply, USB Charger, Back-UPS Series Uninterruptible Power Supply

I have two of these. One for my wireless router, hue bridge and cable modem. The other on my desktop...I use the usb connection to shut my desktop down once the ups is low on battery. Although laptops are kinda “UPS” on their own.

or this apc for $63?

600VA / 330W / 7 outlets / 1usb

This one - APC UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector with USB Charger, 600VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (BE600M1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k1WnEb5XMFJTT - is reasonably priced ($60 usd) and can be connected to your synology over usb to shut it down automatically when the battery runs low. Worked well for me.

Electrical in this area is pretty bad, i would recommend this APC Battery Backup.

I would check out NewEgg and look into their gaming rigs.

With a 650w power supply - and that current build - I can say something like this UPS (US link) will keep you going for at least enough time for the system to initiate a safe shutdown.

At least here in the US - it is not unusual to fine 1500VA UPS models for less than $200 here and there - which can offer nearly an hour of run time on a moderate build like that in my experience.

I just got this in the mail today just in case to plug my internet router.

The exact unit you have pictured, no. my shutdown process takes about 5 minutes, you can adjust your shutdown time in settings. I'm using an APC I get about 19-22 min Battery time, we have issues in our basement where my wife trips the breaker so this is sufficient for me to be notified by Unraid (email) when on battery and go flip the breaker back assuming I'm home.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, or if someone would direct me somewhere that might be better suited. Just purchased this UPS Battery and Surge Protector, and while the majority seem to have no issues with it. There are a number of 1* Reviews that cite problems such as fires as a result of the batteries. This appears to be an isolated issue with most UPS that I checked out. Does anyone with experience using UPS have any advice on warning signs to look out for, or ways that I can help prevent/contain fire in the case of spontaenous combustion?

I use this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FWAZEIU - and find myself hoping for a power outage! lol... Seriously, though, the power has glitched several times since I've gotten it - brown outs, flickering and full on power outages - and every time, the printer has kept right on trucking.

Why would you need multiple shutdown signals?

DSM uses NUT to monitor UPS (networkupstools). Any UPS that supports USB HID profile will work.

The UPS you linked to will likely work but I don’t like that it has RJ45 port for comms — often that carries USB 1.1 and it may have issues with 3.0 hub in the nas. Get the one with USB B port.

This one will do just fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU/. Make sure you don’t get the old model without USB comms.

I'm running a setup very similar to OP and have this as my UPS. I've had it for 2 years now and is very reliable. Only have had 1 or 2 finicky issues where it powered off but later discovered my outlet socket was loose so the cable slipped out. After replacing the outlet I haven't had any issues

APC UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector with USB Charger, 600VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (BE600M1)

Pro tip from former network admin. Always plug your console into a UPS battery backup. This will provide clean power and protect from power sags and surges. Power sag/brownouts are really damaging to electronics.

FWIW, I can confirm that this $60 APC works just fine.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5UTmFb04CMKWV

Edit: I say confirm because it's not listed in the supported UPS list, but all features work as expected. You can choose immediate shutdown or wait untill critical battery.

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the replies! Spoke with the landlord and he said he wouldn't mind installing GFCI outlets in the room where my PC, etc. are situated, so I guess that solves my initial problem for the most part. He said though, that since my surge protector has the 'Protect' function, that I shouldn't need to worry about any electronics being fried, despite the 3rd prong not being grounded. Is that true?

If the outlet isn't truly grounded, will the protect function on the surge protector actually work as intended?

Was also reading that something like this might be a good option..

Either your GPU or your motherboard needs to be replaced. Depends on what part those ports are on. I'm leaning toward GPU since you have several monitors.

And by UPS, I don't mean just a surge protector. But an actual battery UPS. If it happens again, the battery gets fried instead of your computer.

Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU

What I meant is that if you're gonna get a new one, you can log in to shut it down while it's on a UPS. You don't need days worth of UPS

Something like this would give you hours to shut down safely

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/

That seems to be the most basic possible protection that Belkin has to offer (just by reading it).

If you are that worried about power surges, loss of power, lightning, dirty power, etc, I'd invest in an apc UPS with a battery backup instead.

I bought this about 4 years ago and it's been working like a champ connected to my wide screen tv, laptop, sound system and my Wii

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=apc+ups+battery+backup&qid=1596981052&sr=8-3

Not a single problem in four years, but I'm sure I'll have to replace the battery in a year or two.

If it’s otherwise working, why don’t you just plug it into a UPS Battery Backup? All rechargeable batteries degrade over time.

It sounds like a power issue to me. Try getting a UPS like this one and run your modem off of that for a while to see if the issue comes up

This should help in future...

Do you think something like this would at the very least give me enough time to shut down and what not?

A "no-power-go-out" box :)

Something like this

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Back-UPS-Battery-Protector-BE550G/dp/B01FWAZEIU?th=1&psc=1

Lots of options though

If that's the case, and the power is coming back quickly then I would agree with other posters and invest in an uninterruptible power supply. A decent one will probably run you about $60-$80 but should assist especially with things like modems. Do keep in mind that units like these are intended only for use for short periods of time, they are basically designed to ensure that you can save your work and log off. If you notice power has not been restored after a few mins, then act accordingly and save anything you're working on.

The best answer is a UPS, Uninterruptible Power Supply, like this Amazon link

Sounds about right. I have had my ONT box replaced one time at my house.

Here is the UPS I have the ONT plugged into. I like that the battery is replaceable (although I haven’t had to replace it).

The UPS made the largest difference in my network stability I hope it does the same for yours.

APC UPS BE600M1, 600VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, Backup Battery Uninterruptible Power Supply with USB Charging Port, APC Back-UPS Series

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YNeOEbWV9CQE8

A 600VA will run you around $60, and should last your setup around 10-15 minutes; if you use the included USB, Win 10 will 'see' it, and treat your system like a laptop, suspending gracefully if the power stays off too long. Not sure how you could tie your NAS into the system, unless Win 10 can tell the NAS to suspend when it does or something - but 10 minutes should give you ample time to reset breakers, etc.

Only pitfalls are that eventually, the battery will wear out (they're usually lead/acid, nothing real fancy), dropping the 'duty time' after a few years, and replacement batteries run around $35. I wouldn't worry about one with "Co-Ax/Phone/RJ-45 Protection"; in fact, some UPS 'Network Wiring Protectors' can actually cause issues, as they can cause your normally-gigabit or better connection to step down to 100 MBit.

Get a good battery backup (power supply) for your phone and internet modem.

No power, no phone, no internet.

Something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU

I just recently bought this for my TS-451+ and it’s worked great so far.

A UPS is probably what you're looking for, something like this. They're usually sold for computers. You would get many phone charges out of one.

Depends on exactly which board you got if you need to update the bios for a 3600X; if it’s a “MAX” board or the box says something like “Ryzen 3000 Desktop Ready” then you don’t need to.

As to your concerns about BIOS updates, I’ve done more BIOS updates than I can count and I’ve never had issues.

The only real possible risk is if you’re in an area that experiences regular power outages. If something happens to the power (lightning strike, power surge, cut power entirely, etc.) in the middle of the update you may be outta luck (dead bios chip) so if you’re in an area with unstable power (or just super worried) then just use a UPS battery backup, like this, to do the update.

Uninterruptible Power Supply is a battery backup for anything that plugs into a wall. You can get them in various sizes. Do all the math make sure you get one with enough power to run your pump for the amount of time you need it to.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU

Any surge protector will do. The one you link above for $6 is a power strip and adds no protection to your electronics. When you purchase one just make sure it says surge protector. $60 seems expensive for a surge protector, i usually spend around $25. For $60 you can get a UPS which offers surge protection and a back up battery. The area I live in has frequent black outs that only last for a few seconds and the UPS prevents my PC, modem and router from cutting off. It's pretty great.

Based on look it looks like this one

>Ah entonces esta marca es mala?

Basicamente es como decir que es una fuente de poder no certificada, te puede salir bien como te puede salir mal, los componentes usados para crearlos han sido los mas baratos del mercado, no esperes algo duradero y que te sirva cuando de verdad lo necesites.

> APC es mala?

Todos los APC que Tengan este diseño son malos, ~~no hay acceso a su bateria y~~ por lo que leí la calidad de componentes usados es deplorable, solo sirve para alimentar que si un router, modem o una antena wisp pero mas allá no es recomendado, ~~CREO que tambien usan baterias propietarias.~~

Antes que siga respondiendo, dime los componentes de tu PC y para que lo usas.

EDIT: Los UPS de baja capacidad de APC si tienen acceso a su bateria, tuve una confusión. Pero mi opinión es la misma, no son buenos pero puede depender del uso que le des (en mi mente, si es para computadoras, monitores, televisores, consolas o similar no son buenos)

What about the BE600M1? Only $20 more. https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/comments/ggmbvd/a_comprehensive_look_at_hardware_for_staking/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf there is only one VPS mentioned, but you made me think of this write up by u/LamboshiNakaghini

I have two of these in my home office:

APC UPS, 600VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, BE600M1 Backup Battery Power Supply, USB Charger, Back-UPS Series Uninterruptible Power Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OcHMFbRG4E87G

So one thing to be careful for is to doublecheck that your MOBO can hook up to your Zen3 via the BIOS. If you have a currently working computer & a flashdrive, grab the MSI Tomahawk (around $250) or any x570 (as the B550 series is promised to eventually work with Zen 3, but not until 2021 as far as the rumor mill goes) that has BIOS flashback capability. Just download the newest BIOS update onto the flashdrive, plug it into the motherboard without the CPU in, and hit the button (there are a few good videos on youtube for this, just search 'how to BIOS FLASHBACK').

​

Note that BIOS Flashback is something you'll usually on find on higher end MOBOs, so you will have to shell out a bit for that. Also, I'd highly recommend buying an Uninterruptible Power Supply (Don't buy the one in the link provided, just giving it as an example https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=sr_1_4?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Computer+Uninterruptible+Power+Supply+Units&qid=1604898378&s=pc&sr=1-4&ts_id=764572 )

Buying one of these means that if you are flashing the new BIOS and the power for whatever reason goes out, you don't accidentally brick yourself because the BIOS was corrupted. If your board is high-end enough that it has a BIOS backup, you don't need to worry about this. Again, not necessary, just recommended. As a guy who lives in the tropical south of the US, though, with a guaranteed thunderstorm every day, they're just really nice to have in general.

​

Finally, if you really wanna spring for a higher end board, like the Asus Dark Hero (confirmed), or (unconfirmed) the newest Gigabyte Aorus model, these will come with Zen 3 compatibility BIOS when they ship to your door, with a host of other neat features. They will cost you, though- the Dark Hero is supposedly going to cost about $400 USD in the states, and it only goes up from there.

​

As for RAM, Trident Z, Corsair Vengeance/Dominator, or Crucial Ballistix (ranked in performance/price) are usually good. Go for 2x16GB Dual Rank if you can- some of these newer motherboards coming out (like the aforementioned Asus Dark Hero) are coming out with a neat little quirk where either having a 4x8 single rank or (preferred) a 2x16GB dual rank can increase performance between 8-10%. Plus, 32 GB is enough for literally any game you care to name, and will be for a good long while. Even my 250 Skyrim mods can't crack it, and I'm addicted to game modding :D

​

Again, all of these later parts are admittedly higher end parts that I have named, but since we're right on the cusp of effectively a full suite generation, from CPU to motherboard to GPU, some of it is difficult to avoid.

I probably went overboard and got this one. Depending on what you need, you could probably go for a smaller model. If you’re just looking to cover power surges, you don’t need a big battery. If you’re just looking to plug your PS4 in and maybe your modem (so you don’t improperly shut down your PS4 or lose internet), then you might get one with less plugs on the back.

Note that the one I got has 10 plug spots on the back (for my whole home theater), and while all of them are on a surge protector, only 5 of them will run off the battery backup when interrupted. And it runs for something like 1hr10min depending on how much of a load you have plugged in. I do like that it clearly tells you how much power you’re pushing and how many events it has saved you from. But I have a beefy home theater + consoles and I don’t know that I needed the biggest one I got. You could maybe get something like this for half the price, but a lot less battery time and only 5 plugs. Depends on your budget and your needs, I guess. Hope that helps!

Hi! Can someone point me to what to look for to avoid issues on my PC with power surges? I think I need a UPS like this one: https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1T406QU061K0L&dchild=1&keywords=ups+surge+protector&qid=1608303951&sprefix=ups+surg%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-3

The lower powered, smaller battery consumer models are quite reasonably priced.

Of course these aren't going to power your electronics for long but it's enough to make sure you can properly shut them down.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/

I use this for my PC, I don't have a home inverter but our power cuts of often when there is a thunderstorm nearby. Since I have this my PC never shuts down, the power is usually only out for 1 minute or so but the display says it can hold it for 15 min.

You maybe have to get a bigger one depending on your PC but this one is fine for me.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ups&qid=1594309418&sr=8-3

Uninterruptable Power Supply. It's basically a big battery that you plug your modem/router into so that they always get a steady supply of power. If the power goes out entirely, it can keep them running for a few minutes to hours.

If you're just trying to keep the modem/router going through flickers, this will do fine: https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ref=sr_1_12_sspa?keywords=ups&qid=1581017837&sr=8-12-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNjVXRjRHREwyN0NQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTMzMjkzN1VXNzdCRVY2Qk4zJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5MzMxNTgzODFMMFo0VloxWDNRJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

You can get more expensive ones with fancy features and designed to keep your internet going even if the power is out for hours, but if you don't often have long outages, it's probably unnecessary.

this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FWAZEIU - model BE600M1

A bit expensive, but this one probably gets you about a few days on power:https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1500PFCLCD-Sinewave-Outlets-Mini-Tower/dp/B00429N19W

You can also go with this $60 one, but the included USB port doesn't supply enough current.You'd have to run an AC to USB adapter on it.From what I read, this unit should (at least initially) power your Pi for over 3 to 4 hours under full load, or 8 to 12 hours with low usage.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/

​

You'd have to calculate your average power consumption. If under full load you'd have to calculate about \~15W power usage. Under (near) idle, it does about 5W.

If you're looking for a cheap option, to have long battery life under full load, try looking at cheap car batteries, or 12V UPS batteries; connected to one or two cheap 12 to 5V buck converters. It'll require a little soldering work, but is easy to do.
The batteries need to have 15 * 24 = 360Wh capacity. That means a 12V battery with at least 30Ah rated capacity. Most UPS batteries won't do.
Car batteries do.
If your calculations are mostly at idle, perhaps a UPS might do, as the needed power rating will be only 5 * 24 = 120Wh. => 120/12 = 10Ah.
Cheap UPS batteries usually are 10-20Ah, so they might work for mostly passive use case scenarios.

This is interesting, I've never seen a unit like this, but the thing that stands out to me is:

KINDLY NOTE THAT THE POWER STATION CAN NOT BE CHARGE AND USE AT THE SAME TIME.

So if there was a power outage in the middle of the night you'd have to unplug this from the wall and hook it up to your CPAP.

However the fact that it can charge off a car might make it more useful in an extended power outage I don't know.

Also for your consideration would be these continuous power supplies, they stay plugged in and just switch to battery in case of an outage. I have not done the math on these to see how long the battery will last with only a CPAP machine connected during an outage. I work in IT and have used units like these to provide battery backup to computers, so users get a chance to save their work and shut down properly before their computer shuts down. Larger versions of these are used for servers or entire datacenters.

I've been thinking for a while about getting a unit like one of these for my CPAP, so if anyone else has more info I'm all ears.

battery powered cameras aren't a good solution for real security.

also, if they are recording locally, if someone is willing to break in to steal your material, they may snatch the camera off the wall as well.

they're a great convenience if you can't install a proper camera... but in an office environment, i would definitely recommend getting some proper cameras. best part is, real cameras will perform much better, and be cheaper.

if you're even mildly handy you can install a POE camera system in an afternoon.

https://reolink.com/product/rlk8-410b4/ $350 for four cameras and the recorder.

get a UPS to plug the recorder into, and you're done.

https://www.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/ $60

​

if you're just wanting a one off camera, you can get something like this...

https://reolink.com/product/rlc-410w/ $60

and a smaller UPS https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-ST425-Standby-Outlets-Compact/dp/B07GZR981Y/ $43

silly to use a UPS instead of a 12v power supply w/battery, but those are a bit fiddly and expensive off the shelf.

As others have pointed out for most situations it doesn't really matter which you get if you're just trying to fit more plugs. I still like to go with a trusted brand because it's possible to make one that's bad (claim it's rated for high current but overheat if you actually try to draw high current through it).

But if you're plugging in devices that will draw a large load like a heater, air conditioner, toaster, microwave, vacuum cleaner, etc. then you shouldn't plug into a power strip anyway ;)

If you're dealing with sensitive and expensive electronics there are some fancier options including uninterruptible power supplies. Depending on how fancy your PC is this might be a good option - but it might also be overkill. If you do go that route you'll have to also replace the batteries every few years (or sometimes the whole unit if it doesn't have a replaceable battery). The nice thing about them is they're designed to flip over to battery when input voltage is out-of-range, so your devices don't even shut off, but that might be overkill. Lead-acid batteries are less space efficient but a little bit safer IMO.

Finally, don't daisy-chain. If you need more outlets get something that has more outlets ;)

You're probably fine with any power strip you can get in a big box store (I would avoid dollar store and gas station). If you're unsure you can always just search for "<brand name> teardown" and watch a video where someone who knows what their doing rates how well stuff is built.

2 Brands I like:

• APC - They were really good about replacing a defective UPS a few years ago

• Anker - I've been impressed with their build quality and durability, especially for the price

• Tripp Lite - Nothing special but never had a problem with them

Brands I dislike:

• Belkin - I'm still mad about a router that I had back in 2002 and I never forgave them. TBH they're probably fine, though.

Here are a few Anker power strips I use and like:

• 6 outlet

• 12 outlet

Here are a few uninterruptible power supplies that I use and like:

• APC Back-UPS BE600M1 - specs

• APC Back-UPS BE850M2 - specs

• APC Back-UPS Pro BR700G - specs

• APC Back-UPS Pro BX1500M - specs
