Review on Redundant UPS APC by Schneider Electric Back-UPS BE850G2-RS by Stanislaw Malkinski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Yes, having bought a UPS, put it stupidly for a day to charge, but then start doing what is written below; If you are interested in how long the UPS will take, to find out the status of the batteries, then follow the instructions below. Install Acronis True Image and make a copy of the system disk, only then connect the UPS, install the proposed software, make the necessary settings, I made it work for as long as possible, by default it turns off like 30% or more precisely 40%. Set the minimum value now, I don’t remember 5% or 10%, maybe less, set the very minimum. Do not forget to ALWAYS turn off any notifications with a sound, you will already hear the crackling of the relay, and the fact that your light went out or the voltage changed, the constant beeping of a dead one will kill ! DISCONNECT! Next, look at the picture where the plugs in the UPS always supply voltage, and the leftmost socket on top and bottom is like a pilot only protection against interference, I connected a laser printer there. If there is no light, then the need for printing is not impressive, but you also need to know the laser printer is a powerful consumer due to which your UPS can simply turn off due to overload. After setting up, unplug the power cord, make sure that your speakers, camera, monitor, computer, router are all working. Now, about the router, read the instructions where you need to turn on the mode so that the UPS works even when there is almost no load. When the computer is turned off, they have a sleep-type mode by default, when you can say no load, how much does the router consume there? penny UPS determines that it is 0 and goes to sleep. This must be turned off. After all the checks, disconnect the USB cable and use Acronis True Image to restore the system from a previously created image. Voila! In my case, it turned out 30 minutes, the computer can work until the batteries are completely depleted, but I wait about 15 minutes, then turn off the computer, the router remains on the smartphone and the Internet and music, well, what can I say, how long the router will work, I don’t know, at most I had 4 hours, they gave light, but not to try

Pros
  • works, does its job.
Cons
  • do not connect via USB, do not put the computer or beech into sleep mode if connected. In general, it’s better not to connect, drivers are installed and you catch the blue screen of death. unplugging the cable then removing the drivers, I honestly don’t know why, but the blue screen of death appears already when, somehow, when accessing disks, then to any devices, and energy saving had to be completely sacrificed. It would be nice not a very old backup made by Acronis True Image after the restoration, God forbid, I did not connect the UPS via USB. the blue screen of death never appeared again!

If you do not expect miracles, then it is quite a normal product.
