Compact Tower UPS for Home and Small Business
The APC BX850M is an 850 VA, 510 watt battery backup designed to protect computers, networking gear and entertainment systems from outages, surges and voltage fluctuations. Its compact tower form factor fits on a desk or shelf while providing eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, four of which deliver battery-backed power with automatic voltage regulation.
Stepped Sine Wave Output with AVR and USB Management
In normal operation the unit corrects input voltages between 88 and 139 V without using the battery, preserving runtime for actual blackouts. The stepped approximated sine wave output keeps attached equipment running during an outage, while the USB port enables monitoring and graceful shutdown through PowerChute Personal Edition software. Surge protection is rated at 1103 joules for both AC and data lines.
2.1 Minutes Runtime at Full 510 Watt Load
At maximum rated load the sealed lead-acid battery provides 2.1 minutes of backup, extending to 8.9 minutes at half load, with a 12 hour recharge cycle. This runtime profile suits users who need just enough time to save work and shut down safely, not those who require extended operation through long outages. Buyers needing longer runtimes at high loads should consider higher-capacity units.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the USB cable so PowerChute can shut down my PC before the battery runs out?
Plug the USB cable into the UPS and your computer, install PowerChute Personal Edition, then configure the shutdown timer to trigger well before the 2.1 minutes at full load or 8.9 minutes at half load.
When will the sealed lead acid battery need replacing and how long does a full recharge take?
Expect three to five years of service; after a complete discharge the battery requires 12 hours to reach full charge again.
What happens if my equipment draws more than 510 watts during an outage?
The UPS will trip its overload protection and cut output because 510 watts is the maximum real power the inverter can supply.
