The BVK Series offers AVR to correct voltage fluctuations, USB Charging via USB-C or USB-A ports, LED Brightness controls (via power button), auto-restart when main power recovers after a complete battery discharge, and other controls via the free PowerChute software (for PC's only; Mac OS uses native 'Energy Saver' settings) Review: This passes "unplug/replug UPS - computer stays on test" - where a CyberPower failed. - I bought this UPS to go with a mini PC I have. The PC doesn't have a battery. As a test, I unplugged the UPS, and the PC stayed on. I plugged the UPS back in, and the PC kept running as expected. I initially bought a CyberPower CP850PFCLCD 850VA Sinewave UPS. My PC would would turn off when I plugged the PC back in during this test, and it was repeatable. The monitor stayed on, with no visible power cycling. I got a refund on the CyberPower - as the point of a UPS is for your computer to stay on during an outage (!!!). I initially chose the CyberPower for the sine wave, easily replaced battery, and digital display. This is a line interactive step-approximated sine wave system. The manual says the transfer to battery delay on outage is "6ms typical, 10ms max." The manual says the stepped sine wave is appropriate for computers and peripherals and "is not intended for motor driven equipment," and the input power may be rejected (no mention of any associated hazard). This is fine with me. I actually prefer (a lot) the simple operation of this unit compared to the CyberPower. I don't need all those extra settings the CyberPower has, which I realized when I stepped through them at installation. With the APC, you just charge it for 10 hours, and then plug it in and go. The APC is also smaller (6 3/4" tall vs. 9 1/2"). The APC has a voltage sensitivity setting (low/default) for noisy (voltage range) input voltage, for use with equipment not sensitive to this fluctuation, to avoid switch overs to battery, which shortens battery life. I left it on default, and there have been no switch overs. When I unplug the UPS (power outage) there are initial warning beeps, followed by 4 beeps every 30 seconds. You can mute those beeps with a short press of the power button, and you won't get more beeps until the battery level gets critical. The beeps aren't too loud, and I'll probably leave them going during an outage. There is optional software to control the UPS, which I haven't tested and don't need. Review: Awesome little UPS - Great little UPS, it's already come in handy a variety of times. All 6 outlets are surge/battery backup. I have several UPSs in my office for a variety of equipment and this one is used for my laptop and several external hard drives. I love the flexibility of the software and having the ability to turn off the 'beep' when the power is out. ## Features - 950VA / 480W Line-Interactive UPS battery backup - 6 Outlets (NEMA 5-15R).

The alarm 'mode' can be set via the power button. **Q: How long will this product power my system when the power goes out?** A: The runtime of a battery backup will vary based on the amount of power required by the devices plugged into the battery backup outlets. APC's PowerChute Software details 'Estimated Battery Time' based on the power-draw of your connected devices. **Q: What do I do if my battery backup is not providing the expected backup time?** A: Batteries require recharging after extended outages and can wear faster when put into service without proper recharging or when operated at elevated temperatures. **Q: Will the USB Ports on this battery backup continue to charge devices when the power goes out?** A: Yes, as long as there is battery power in the battery backup, the USB Ports will actively power your Smartphone and other USB-charged devices. **Q: After a prolonged power outage, will this battery backup automatically turn back on once utility power resumes?** A: Yes, the battery backup will automatically turn back on after utility power resumes and the internal battery will begin recharging. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This passes "unplug/replug UPS - computer stays on test" - where a CyberPower failed. *by A***R on January 26, 2024* I bought this UPS to go with a mini PC I have.

I love the flexibility of the software and having the ability to turn off the 'beep' when the power is out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great - beeping is super annoying *by S***K on March 17, 2023* I have two of these in my house, neither are connected directly to a computer. The constant 3 beeps when there's a power outage ever few minutes is super annoying and no way to turn it off. However, it does work as expected. Allowed me to power down my PS5 and computer/equipment safely. I haven't let the backup battery run its course (read: the constant beeping), I turn the unit off once everything's powered down. ## Frequently Bought Together - APC UPS 950VA Line Interactive Battery Backup, BVK950M2 Backup with AVR, 2 USB Charging Ports (Type C/Type A), Back-UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply Black - APC UPS Battery Backup Surge Protector, 425VA Backup Battery Power Supply, BE425M, Black - APC UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 600VA/330 Watts Backup Battery Power Supply, BE600M1 Back-UPS with USB Charger Port --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/456979378-ups-950va-line-interactive-ups-battery-backup-bvk950m2-backup-battery](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/456979378-ups-950va-line-interactive-ups-battery-backup-bvk950m2-backup-battery) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
