APC Back-UPS RS 500 230V UPS

The APC BR500CI-AS is a tower style uninterruptible power supply that delivers 500 volt-ampere, 300 watt backup power to keep your desktop computer, modem, router, or point of sale terminal running when electricity cuts out. Designed for 230 volt regions, it connects up to three devices through IEC C13 outlets, providing both battery backup and surge protection.

Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects low or high voltage without drawing on the battery, so everyday fluctuations do not shorten runtime or battery life. The 6 to 10 millisecond transfer time keeps sensitive electronics powered without noticeable interruption, preventing unexpected shutdowns and data loss.

During a surge or lightning strike, the unit absorbs up to 240 joules, safeguarding connected equipment. Clear LED indicators on the front panel show power status, battery level, and fault conditions, while audible alarms give an immediate warning if attention is needed.

The sealed lead acid battery is user replaceable and recharges fully within about ten hours, which means the UPS is ready for the next outage by the next workday. A two-year warranty from APC adds peace of mind.

Because of its compact footprint, the BR500CI-AS fits naturally under a desk, next to a home entertainment center, or beside networking gear in a small office. Remote workers, gamers, small businesses, and anyone who relies on an internet connection during storms or unreliable grid conditions will appreciate the extra time this UPS provides to save work, finish a transaction, or keep communication lines open.
