Ensure seamless power to your PC and make certain you have time to safely shut down your system during a longer outage.
Home Networking/VoIP
Keep your smart-home devices connected to your WIFI during power outages and sags.
Personal Electronics
Don’t let the game end when the power goes out. Backup battery power keeps gaming consoles, stereos, and chargers running.
Home Theaters
Protect sensitive televisions, projectors, satellites, and cable boxes from power surges and spikes.

Product: 450VA
Equipment: 2017 27” iMac | 3.4GHz i5 | 40GB Ram | 4GB graphics card
INTRO
I am a freelance motion graphics artist and I work from home often, so I decide to buy this battery backup system (450VA version) as a safeguard in case of a power outage, giving me to time to save and close my projects. I have a 2017 27” iMac and I searched online to find out how much power this computer uses and estimate how long it would take for my computer to shut off. I couldn’t find a definite answer so I decide to purchase and do my own testing. Of course there are many variables in figuring that out as it all depends on the usage and how much power the computer is using at the time of the outage. If you are using your computer for browsing the internet at half of the screen brightness while not watching a video or listening to music, your power consumption will be a lot less than if you were editing heavy animated graphics at full screen brightness while using the speakers.
THE TEST
For my first test I unplugged the battery backup from the wall and started the timer on my phone. On the iMac I had the screen brightness 3 dots away from full brightness and I had Adobe After Effects rendering a 10 second medium complexity animation project at a third of the resolution.
- When I unplugged the battery backup from the wall, I heard 2 beeps - letting me know that the system is now using the battery.
- The two beeps kept repeating every 30 seconds, probably as a reminder that I was still running on battery.
- At 2 mins and 40 secs I heard several beeps - I am assuming that the battery was at 50%
- At 4 minutes several beeps went off and did not stop.
- At 6 minutes and 35 seconds, the iMac shut off by itself.
CONCLUSION
The product seams to be of good built quality, I like that all 8 outlets are surge protected and only 4 of them are battery backed up. At about 6 minutes of power after an outage, that works perfectly for me. I don’t need to be working during a power outage and 6 minutes is plenty of time for me to save my projects and not loose any work done. For the price, that is a small price to pay for huge peace of mind. Now, if you need to be working through a power outage or if you will be using a bigger power load with more equipment using the battery’s power, I would advise for you to get a battery backup system with larger battery capacity.
Top reviews from other countries
The battery has been charged for 15 hours+, When unplugged to test the battery: within 5 seconds the battery goes from 100% to 99% capacity (No load / nothing is plugged in.) 4 minutes later it is at 98% and at about 6 minutes later it is at 96%. When plugged in to the mains the unit goes from 96% to 100% charge in about 4 sec. (that doesn't seem correct at all...)
This unit has a nice "soft Beep" to let you know it is using the battery. I mean "soft" because all other units I've had in the past have had an ear blasting "building is burning down" style beep... There is also an audible switch sound when going from mains to battery power (which I think is nice...)
When plugged in, the power is always jumping from 122 to 123V... For some reason, I thought this unit would have some sort of AVR / Sine wave filter. When it goes to battery power the output is at a stable 120V. To my surprise, the unit says it has a battery life of 4 hours and 15 minutes... (which seems interesting, the box says 52 min., other users say 2 minutes.)
The EC850LCD unit is super light compared to other 750 - 850 VA units. For example, an RBC4 battery used in many other 750VA units is heavier than the EC850LCD...
When the unit is not plugged to the mains, the unit will not turn on. (To me this seems odd, since the unit has been charged for 15+ hours. and still has ~96% battery) While unplugged from the mains the unit also displayed: "EoF" (which it actually means "End of Life.") Knowing that this is supposedly a new battery in a new unit, I hope it was just a glitch somewhere... (UPDATE: Tried this again, about 30 minutes later and the unit turned on and off as expected. )
About the CyberPower "PowerPanel" software:
Well, here comes the fun part...
I installed the software from the website and restarted the computer. Plugged the unit on to the PC via USB... nothing... (Windows 10 did see it and installed drivers, PowerPanel = 0)
Restarted the machine once more with the UPS plugged in to the USB (as you would usually have it )... nothing...
PowerPanel says: "It is not ready." (it is plugged in and it is providing power)
Tried another USB port, same thing... nothing... PowerPanel can't see the UPS...
(UPDATE: I had to change the USB cable and reinstall the software for it to work correctly... It seems to be working ok now...)
Currently, the EC850LCD is hooked up to a very modern PC ( 2019 model, no monitor or other items, just the central unit. ) The LCD screen says the battery will last between 8 - 15 min. max. Currently, it is at a load of 37% on idle. When the PC is doing something more intensive the load goes up to about 47 - 50% . The battery time drops to about 2-4 minutes. This is the lowest battery backup time I've ever had from a UPS unit... (pretty disappointing given the price point and the Brandname. )
Overall, it seems like a "So-so" unit to me. It might be a "good" unit ( take it with a grain of salt ) to other users as long as you skip the software and don't expect it to last more than 8 minutes while on load and on battery. It does have a 3 year warranty that covers the battery should anything go wrong ... BUT I've had other UPS units that have lasted well over 7 years without problems on a single OEM battery. So, only time will tell...
(By the way, other brands usually include a performance test and QC/QA report with the unit. This certifies the unit works as expected. The EC850LCD does not include a QC test report in the box.)
UPDATE:
Sadly, I am returning the EC850LCD due to really poor performance. I plugged in my professional duster and the unit went into "Overload" and it shut itself off. the only item plugged into the unit was the professional duster... nothing else... the unit wouldn't turn on after that... ~ About 15 minutes later it started to work again... but this is not the performance, I want or expect from a UPS...
I would rate this as a do NOT buy...
Lorsque l’appareil est branché et alimenté, il indique un temps de fonctionnement (runtime) estimé de 244 minutes. C’est trompeur car dès qu’on le déconnecte pour simuler une panne, ça tombe à 144 minutes, toujours avec ma charge de 15W. Un point positif: l’estimation que l’appareil fait du temps de fonctionnement est assez précise. Si il indique qu’il reste 100 minutes de fonctionnement, on peut s’y fier. J’apprécie l’affichage LCD qui indique l’état de l’appareil.
Considérant la grosseur de ce UPS, on comprend que la grosseur de la batterie interne est limitée et ne peut faire fonctionner plusieurs appareils sur une longue période. Dans mon cas, 15W représente 1 routeur sans-fil, 1 modem-câble, et 1 interface téléphonique VOIP.
À part la durée un peu courte de fonctionnement de la batterie, il répond à mon besoin. Presque…
What's good about this product?
☑ PRICE: I managed to get it on at a sale price, but I still think it's worth it. CyberPower has a few cheaper models, so consider checking those out because you might not need this high-end one.
☑ EASE OF USE: Just plug it in, turn it on and plug your devices into the UPS. I've had a few quick power outages/fluctuations already and it has worked great.
☑ SOFTWARE: The PowerPanel software is also easy to use. It has a few options to configure on the UPS and you can run health check tests on the UPS.
What's bad about this product?
⚠ NOTHING: It's working great so far, no issues or concerns.

I had a PC and 3 monitors plugged into the Battery backup plugs and a small fan into the surge plug. The UPS would shut completely off when i turned the fan off. I also once experienced a power failure and the UPS just shut off again with an annoying beep. Would not recommend this thing !
