About CyberPower CP685AVRG AVR UPS System
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
66% liked the battery life, but 34% found it didn't last
I was surprised by the battery life of the UPS, which carried my Windows install through a 4-hour outage.
I used the UPS for a little over 3 years.
I cannot verify the battery longevity as the power has only gone out a couple of times for 10 minutes, but everything survived through it.
I expected the lead-acid battery to last longer, like the ones in a car that should last 4 or 5 years.

80% liked the durable construction
I have been using CyberPower UPS devices for more than 10 years without any problems, indicating their durable construction.

68% found it whisper-quiet, while 32% thought it was loud
The device is whisper-quiet with a fan that only runs when needed.
The unit runs quietly, but occasionally makes a few seconds of buzzing noise, possibly when fixing the power. It makes the fluorescent lights flicker when it does this.
The UPS emits a distinct constant 60hz whine, audible from several meters away in a quiet room and is not as quiet as marketed.
I do not want to be disturbed by the beep sound for indoor use.
69% appreciated the control features, while 31% found them confusing
The UPS has various features, a loud and noticeable alarm tone, solid battery life, and works as a basic power strip.
The control software is buggy and useless.
Every time there has been a power outage, the UPS fails to keep the equipment on until I can safely shut down things myself.
71% praised the high power capacity, while 29% found it insufficient
My older UPS could not keep up with the increased VA capacity of my entire operating system, which includes the router, ATA modem, phone, monitor, and docking station.
The UPS is not working properly even though it is rated at 390 watts.
73% appreciated the response time, while 27% experienced a delay
I noticed that the software indicated that the UPS had 16 minutes of up-time with current load, but it failed after 10 seconds of losing power.
