APC 1600VA Line Interactive UPS

This APC UPS was a major letdown. Even after charging, it didn’t power on. The unit I received was manufactured in February 2022, likely causing the battery to degrade over time.To make matters worse, Amazon’s policy states this product is non-returnable, and now I have to wait 5 days for their investigation. For a critical business need, this delay is unacceptable.Make sure to avoid old stock like this. Always check the manufacturing date or buy from a trusted source to get fresh inventory.Not recommended for critical needs.

Bought it for Rs 12,331.This was tested on my 750 watt Consuming gaming PC. It gives me enough time to safely turn it off.I also tested it for a couple of minutes running a 600 watt mixer grinder and 2 Laptops simultaneously.Must unplug the batter latch and replug back in proper orientation before use. Don't push too hard.It would be good if this was placed on a metal mesh table for heat disspation

UPS stopped working in 6 months. Contacted customer care, they replaced it. Took about a week. Replacement stopped working in next 5 months too. Not following up with them anymore and will count this as my loss and bad product. For referefence, UPS only used as backup of my PC and I have full powe back up in my apartment. UPS only used for few seconds when power switches from mains to backup in case of a powercut.

This works pretty well. I have connected a monitor consuming 20W of power and my PC with a 850W gold rated PSU consuming 650W on peak load. The only problem is battery backup. At full load I get around 2 mins of battery backup and on normal use I get around 5-8 mins of backup.Many users are telling that this is useless but if you do the right things, this is good and can provide upto 900W of power output. After purchasing the UPS, make sure you charge it for 24 hours before use. Charge for 6 hours and then turn it off to let it cool down, again charge and then cool down until 24 hours of total charging time is complete. After that use it and it will work fine. Follow the manual read it fully.

No problems till now. It seamlessly transitions during power cuts. I have connected PS5, 55" Oled tv, router, music system and led bulbs to it. Not sure of total backup because mostly backup power is delivered within max 5 min in my apt. But there is no hiccups or fluctuations. Serves my purpose.

This product seems to be dead. It's not turning ON and the year of manufacture seems to be 2022. So, it's too old model. There are so many same complaints when I checked the reviews. Very disappointed and annoyed. Not recommending this product.

APC is synonymous with UPS technology but with this model they have disappointed me well enough. The batteries have stopped charging after 6 months of period and getting the replacement under warranty is a long wait.So, while I am waiting i am writing this review. I hope this helps others and makes APC a little prompt in their service.And yes, it's a loud one too.

I purchased this APC UPS brand new just yesterday, and it was completely dead out of the box, it doesn’t power on, doesn’t charge, absolutely nothing. On checking the label, I was shocked to see it’s old stock from 2021! Selling 4-year-old units as “new” is not only misleading, it’s outright unethical.To make matters worse, there is no return policy on this product. I had to fight with Amazon just to initiate a return, and they kept pushing me to take it up with APC directly. Why should I chase the manufacturer for a brand new sealed product that’s DOA? This is Amazon’s responsibility as the seller.Extremely disappointed — both with the product and the support experience. Avoid this product unless you want the headache of arguing for a return on a defective, outdated unit.
