## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: Very compact lightweight UPS at a really great price for 255 watts of battery protection! - I actually purchased two of these. One to be mounted on a wall to protect my 16-port network switch and POE power injector, the 2nd to protect a computer & monitor. Very simple brick design with both a battery protection side and a surge only side. The surge-only side is always on regardless of the power button state. The on/off power button is back-lit by an LED for indicating power on and also for alarm states. Holding the power button for 2 seconds turns the unit on and the same for turning it off. If power goes out while the unit is on the alarm will beep every 30 seconds and the LED will blink. If only a few minutes of battery remain the alarm will beep twice a second. The beeping can be silenced by tapping the power button twice rapidly. I tested the unit with 200watts of draw and it lasted 2mins 44secs. I'm guessing 100watts would put it at 5mins of battery time. My computer draws 40wattts and monitor 20watts, so that would put it at about 8mins. I did not test the actual charge time from a depleted battery, but the manual and sticker claim 8hrs needed for full charge. When the unit is charging it draws 10.7watts. Once the unit is fully charged it draws 2.1watts to keep the battery maintained at full charge. If you're confused about the spec of 400va and 255w, just ignore the 400 number and use the 255 to determine how much you can plug into the battery side. Plug larger products into the surge only side such as laser printers. This unit does not have a USB port so you can not program it nor monitor it via the downloadable software which you can do with the larger models. Also note the casing has no wall mounting holes nor tabs on it. If you need to wall mount it and don't mind voiding your warranty four screws are easily removed and two holes can be drilled safely away from any internal components. In 3 to 6 years when the battery needs replacement you can easily remove those same four screws and easily disconnect the lead to the battery for swapping. The battery is secured simply by the two casing halves and has no screws, tape, nor glue holding it in place. Hope all this info helps with your purchase decision. Since I am just now placing these in service I will give them a 5 star rating and if something goes south in the next year or two I will come back and edit this review.
Review: Dependable until the built-in battery lasts. - This line of Cyber Power UPS works for about 5 years. After that the internal battery is unable to ride it through power surges. So long as you know that, it is a relatively inexpensive protection for all your computer stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable until the built-in battery lasts.
*by M***R on April 26, 2026*

This line of Cyber Power UPS works for about 5 years. After that the internal battery is unable to ride it through power surges. So long as you know that, it is a relatively inexpensive protection for all your computer stuff.

### ⭐ Battery dies within 30 days - Very common for this product
*by B***O on January 25, 2026*

I never gave a 1 before, bt this product quite simply has a long history of failure. I researched it on ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini. The battery fails within a month & then it is rendered useless. Do not buy this product. Spend the money to buy a proper UPS: If your Amazon Basics UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (400VA/255W) isn’t holding power when the electricity goes out, it means the unit isn’t supplying backup power as it should. There are several possible reasons — some simple to fix, and others that indicate a hardware limitation or failure. Here are the most common causes and what you can check: ✅ 1. Battery Is Dead or Bad The most frequent cause of a UPS not holding power is a worn-out or failed internal battery. Why this happens UPS batteries are sealed lead-acid (SLA) and wear out over time (usually 3–5 years). If the UPS was stored discharged for a long time, the battery may be permanently damaged. Even new units can have a defective battery. What to check Press the power/test button — does it beep or indicate battery status? Some models flash an error code if the battery is bad. If available, check the battery replacement indicator. Solution: Replace the UPS battery (if the model allows it). For this Amazon Basics unit, replacement batteries are typically inexpensive and the case can open to swap the battery. ✅ 2. UPS Was Never Fully Charged If the UPS wasn’t charged long enough before use: It may not have stored enough energy. New units usually need several hours of charge before first use. Solution: Plug it in and let it charge overnight (8–12 hours), then test again. ✅ 3. Load Too High for the UPS Capacity A 400VA/255W UPS is relatively low power — it can handle: A small desktop computer A router/modem A few peripherals … but not high-power devices like: Large monitors Gaming PCs Laser printers Space heaters If the connected load exceeds 255W, the UPS may instantly go into overload protection and drop power. Solution: Reduce the load: Unplug everything except a single device. Test if it still fails. ✅ 4. UPS Is Old or Stored Without Power If the UPS wasn’t used for a long time: The internal battery sulfates and can’t hold charge. Some UPS units lock out battery use after long idle periods. Solution: Recharge it fully and test battery with reduced load — if still no backup time, the battery likely needs replacement. ✅ 5. The Unit Is Defective Sometimes UPS units have internal failures: Faulty battery charger circuit Bad connection between battery and electronics Internal fuse blown Signs of this: No lights or beeps on battery test UPS immediately shuts off when unplugged Strange behavior like rapid blinking Solution: If under warranty, contact Amazon for a return/replacement. ❌ 6. Surge Only Outlets vs. Battery Backup Outlets Some UPS units have two types of outlets: Battery Backup + Surge Protection Surge Protection Only If you plugged devices into the surge-only outlets, they won’t receive backup power when the power fails. Check: On the unit label, make sure your devices are plugged into the battery backup outlets, not the surge-only ones. Quick Troubleshooting Checklist ✔ Make sure device is plugged into the battery-backup outlets ✔ Let it charge for 8–12 hours ✔ Disconnect excess load — try just one device ✔ Press power/test button for status indication ✔ If still not working → likely battery replacement needed When to Replace the Battery Typical UPS batteries (sealed lead-acid) need replacement every 3–5 years. For this Amazon Basics model, replacing the battery is usually possible — the battery inside is a standard size and can be swapped. If you want, tell me: 🔹 What devices are plugged into the UPS 🔹 How old the UPS is 🔹 What the UPS lights/indicators show when the power fails …and I can help you diagnose the problem more precisely.
