Product Overview
This battery backup unit keeps your desktop computer, home office gear, or networking equipment running during a power outage — and protects it from surges and voltage swings. It's ideal for systems with modern (Active PFC) power supplies.
A mini-tower UPS with line interactive topology, the CyberPower PFC Sinewave CP1500PFCLCD provides battery backup (using sine wave output) and surge protection for desktop computers, workstations, networking devices, and home entertainment systems requiring active PFC power source compatibility.
The CP1500PFCLCD features an advanced multifunction control panel with a color LCD to quickly confirm status and alerts at-a-glance. The screen tilts for easy viewing when the UPS is placed in a low position such as under a desk. Two USB charge ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) power portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, even during a utility power failure.
The CP1500PFCLCD uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently. The CP1500PFCLCD comes with a three-year warranty (including coverage of batteries) and a $500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee.
Key Features of the CP1500PFCLCD
-
Battery Backup Keeps your equipment running when the power goes out, giving you time to save your work and shut down safely.
Surge Protection Shields your electronics from voltage spikes and power surges before they can cause damage.
Pure Sine Wave Output Delivers clean, utility-grade power — ideal for modern computers with Active PFC power supplies. Reduces electrical noise and prevents compatibility issues.
Color LCD Panel A tiltable (up to 22°) color display gives you an at-a-glance read on battery level, load, and power status — with green, yellow, and red alerts so you always know what's going on.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Smooths out brownouts and voltage swings without touching the battery, so your battery lasts longer and your equipment stays stable.
USB Charging Ports Two built-in USB ports (Type-A and Type-C) keep your phone or tablet charged — even during an outage.
Data Line Protection Guards your network gear against surges traveling through Ethernet cables, not just the power line.
Widely Spaced Outlets Bulky transformer plugs and wall adapters fit without hogging neighboring outlets.
Line Interactive Design Handles minor power fluctuations automatically — no battery drain, no interruptions, no fuss.
ENERGY STAR® Certified Meets government energy-efficiency standards, helping lower your electricity bill and environmental footprint.
GreenPower UPS™ Bypass Technology CyberPower's patented design routes power around the transformer during normal operation, cutting energy use, heat, and noise.
Ultra-Quiet Operation Runs nearly silently — no distracting fan noise in your home office or workspace.
PowerPanel® Business Software Free monitoring and management software for IT teams, with remote access capability. Download here.
3-Year Warranty (Batteries Included) CyberPower covers the full unit — including batteries — for three years. No fine print surprises.
$500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee If a power surge damages your properly connected gear, CyberPower will repair or replace it.
