Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of APC BR24BP BACK-UPS RS/XS 1500VA 24V Battery For BR1500Customer Review: Expensive, but a real bonus if you have a high powered workstation Summary: 5 Stars
BACKGROUND
I have three of these units, the first one purchased in approximately 2003.
I have two high-end Linux workstations. One is a two cpu dual-core 3.0GHz AMD Opteron with a NVIDIA 8800GT video card and water cooling, the other is a two cpu quad-core 3.0GHz Intel Xenon with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 video card. Using an APC BR1500 UPS and the apcupsd software package on each of the two workstations, both machines had an approximate battery backup period of 12 minutes.
EXPECTATIONS
[1] Increase the battery backup period
[2] Easy interoperability with the BR1500 UPS
RESULTS
[1] With the APC BR24BP, the battery backup period increased from 12 minutes to 45 minutes. That is nearly a factor of four increase, which I felt justified the relatively expensive cost.
[2] It is so easy to connect the BR24BP to the BR1500 UPS. The BR24BP has a built in cable to attaches to a dedicated port on the BR1500. That is the only connection required. Power to charge the BR24BP is provided from the BR1500 via the cable. The BR24BP provides plastic extensions to allow the BR24BP to share the same floor mounting stand with the BR1500.
SUMMARY
I am 100% satisfied with this product. It has met all of my expectations. The casing if of high quality and it perfectly matches the BR1500's color and casing.
AFTERTHOUGHT
I would highly recommend this item to a colleague.
