Power and UPS

APC

APC BR1500MS2 Back-UPS Pro

1500VA and 900W, and APC does say pure sine wave here, which puts it in the same conversation as the CyberPower PFC units rather than the cheaper Back-UPS line. The user-replaceable battery is the quiet argument for it: every UPS battery dies in three to five years, and the ones you cannot open become landfill on that schedule. Not tested here yet.

Quick decision

Best for
A desktop, NAS, or small server setup that needs pure sine wave output and a battery the owner can replace.
Avoid if
You only need to keep a router online, need rack mounting, or have a load above its 900W rating.
