The BR1500LCD is a robust 1500 VA/865 W line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to deliver dependable power protection for home offices, small businesses and IT workstations. With a capacity of 1500 VA it ensures that critical equipment—servers, network gear, storage devices and peripherals—remain operational through power dips, blackouts and fluctuations.
One of the key strengths of the BR1500LCD is its advanced Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) which stabilises incoming voltage without relying solely on the battery. This means fewer instances of battery usage and longer overall runtime. When utility power fails, the unit seamlessly switches to battery backup with a typical transfer time of just 6 ms, keeping equipment running without interruption.
The UPS features a front-panel LCD display that gives clear real-time insight into load percentage, remaining battery time, input/output voltage and operating mode. This transparency helps users manage power loads effectively and plan for eventualities. On the output side, the device offers several battery-protected outlets as well as additional surge-only outlets — differentiating between truly critical gear and lesser devices.
In terms of build and lifecycle, the BR1500LCD uses a maintenance-free sealed lead-acid battery, user-replaceable when required, and supports cold-start capability (which allows equipment to boot from battery alone when utility power is absent). Surge protection is comprehensive, with full multistage filtering and data-line protection to guard against spikes and disturbances. Estimated backup time at half load is around 10-12 minutes, giving ample window for safe system shutdown or switchover to generator power in many scenarios.
For environments where uptime and equipment safety are non-negotiable, the BR1500LCD is an excellent choice. Whether you run a busy workstation, a compact server room or a home entertainment setup that cannot tolerate data loss or interruption, this UPS offers a blend of performance, reliability and visibility. Best of all, when sourced from Chicago Computer Supply, you're dealt with a trusted vendor offering genuine units and responsive support.
