APC 2200VA Line Interactive UPS

UPS is good but Stopped working after 1 yr 6 months of Use, after sale service was difficult, faced difficulty in logging the repair call, later call logged and service done. Now UPS working fine.

I have been using APC UPS for more than two decades but this is worst ever APC UPS I ever purchased. Before buying this I was using BR1500g-in model which was having some board issue and too sensitive to power fluctuations. So, I purchased this BVX2200 model seeing its robust look and higher VA capacity. To my extreme dismay this UPS did not even give 50% of the backup capacity and within 6 months gave problems. It started with some click sound during backup until loud violent ticking sound occurred. This is when I called APC customer care and logged the complaint. It was replaced thankfully due to the warranty but I had a bitter experience.

I use it with a ps5 pro, 4k oled monitor 32 inch 165hz and some rgb lights and it easily handles the load. Does not let the equipment turn off and is not loud. Has a beep only when the light goes and when it comes back. Pretty good for console gaming setup.

The UPS itself works, but I'm having a hard time installing it because I have a high configuration PC and it uses a 16A outlet adapter connected to 1000w PSU. The problem is that, all the outlets in the UPS are 6A and I cannot connect my 16A outlet in the UPS. I had few options, to connect the PSU outlet with a 16A - 6A converter, or use a surge protector, or use a .75 mm² wire with 6A outlet & C13 cord, but all these have a high chance of short circuit and catching fire due to overheating. I atleast need a 6A outlet 1.5mm² C13 cord but it is not readily available anywhere. After everything that I could try, I tried returning UPS back but Amazon customer care straight up denied, it was only 5-6 days and I believe that return window should be atleast 7 days. The service from Amazon was very disappointing and it's the first time ever for me after using Amazon for my needs in years of use. And I didn't expected APCs UPS to not provide a 16A outlet as it should have that only since they make their products with American plug standards then why this is made with 6A outlet. I wish I could really be helped, since I'm still trying to find a solution. Edit: I ordered a new wire online - as described, I couldn't get a wire of my preference so I had to resort to a thinner cable, so I got this one from Fedus and connected my PC with the UPS and it's working just fine for now. I'm not sure how much load it can handle with a heavy PC build that I have but *fingers crossed* I have high hopes. It has saved my PC to get fried like 5 times in the last 2 months so I'm satisfied with it for now. But I really hope they send wires with the UPS so that noone has to go through struggle of finding the right one for themselves for higher voltage consumption. For anyone interested, I'm using a Fedus wire - C13 0.85mm² 16A outlet. This was my only option at the end. I hope whomsoever is reading this doesn't get trouble. I do not hate the quality of the product, infact it's one of the best I've ever used and *touchwood* great quality. I only had issues with wires and sorting it to match the voltage so I could avoid potential short circuit. Thanks!

No noise, 'noise' aka fan sound will be there when there are no currents. Supports my system with I5 13600k, AMD 6700xt with 800W PSU along with monitor. Haven't been able to test backup time as I received this product today itself but it doesn't take a genius to know that as long as you have enough time to save and shut down your PC, thats good enough especially since you don't get good UPS for high end systems unless you install an inverter. You need an 3 pin 16A adapter or a 16A 3 pin power outlet to plug this in as this UPS has a big pin usually seen in Ovens and Fridges. Overall worth it as I didn't find many 'trusted' 2200va/1200W UPS out there, so easy purchase for me and also 2 of my friends are using the same products for their PC while one of them is using AMD 6800XT GPU. Hope this helps my gamer counterparts out there.

This isnt a cheap product at all .. but why the hell the battery died in within just 1 year ... . Could not even back it up for 2 minutes after power cut ...

I am using this UPS for my 1000W PSU PC and its good backup is good but there are few thing that i don't like: 1. the beep is too loud 2. Its high maintenance (you need to turn it off and disconnect from the socket otherwise it will stay heated/overheated sometime on 0% load. So i have to shutit down completely and disconnect from the power socket every night) 3. For input they have a Huge plug/Top and for output all ports are small (i had to buy one converter to use my Huge PSU Plug/Top with it) 4. When the whole pc is off, and power goes out, it sends too much volts to the PSU THAT the PSU makes loud POPPING noises with very bad burning smell (I don't know it's the UPS or PSU, but this only happens when the whole pc is off, UPS is on and UPS switches from Direct power supply to backup)

This is a purchase that was needed because the power company of Uttarakhand in Dehradun is delivering a dismall product with at least 2 powercuts a day. But the product it self is just what I needed. I run a 3D printer that needs a whooping 1300 W to operate at its peak. I've managed to throttle the printer down to 90% or 1170 W and the APC 2200VA just handles that. So now my printer can run 24/7 Make in India.
