Product overview

An entry-level UPS to protect a workstation: line-interactive with automatic voltage regulation and 1200 VA / 650 W.
Technology & protection: it switches to battery the moment the power fails, protects against surges and corrects voltage dips and spikes without drawing on the battery.
Power: 1200 VA for 650 W of usable power — a PC, a monitor and their accessories.
Runtime: about 5 minutes at half load (300 W) — time to save your work and shut down properly.
Outlets: 6 C13 outlets (computer and server power cords).
Ideal, for example, for a desktop PC and its monitor, a small server, a switch or a NAS.
Remember to check how much power your equipment draws and to choose the rating according to the runtime you need.

Frequently asked questions about this product

How long does the BVX1200LI run on battery?
It all depends on what is plugged in: at full load, 650 W, it lasts one minute. That is typical of an entry-level UPS — the lighter the load, the longer the runtime, hence the value of not loading it to its limit.
Why does 1200 VA only give 650 W?
Because the power factor is 0.51: barely half of the apparent power is usable. It is the 650 W figure that you must compare with the combined consumption of your PC, its monitor and its accessories.
Are all six outlets on the BVX1200LI battery-backed?
Yes, all six C13 outlets are powered by the battery — none is limited to surge protection alone. Input is via a C14 inlet, with a 1.22 m cord.
Within what voltage range does the AVR correct without the battery?
Between 140 and 300 V. Within this range, the automatic regulator brings the voltage back to its normal value without drawing on the battery, which thus stays full for real power cuts and wears out less quickly.
How long does the BVX1200LI take to switch to battery?
6 milliseconds at half load, 10 maximum. A computer power supply rides through such a gap without a hitch: the screen does not go off and the session is not interrupted.
Can the BVX1200LI be switched on without mains power?
Yes, cold start is supported: the UPS starts up on its battery alone, with the power cut already under way. Handy for powering a computer back on for a few minutes to retrieve a file.
Does the BVX1200LI connect to a computer?
No, it has no USB port: its status is shown by indicator lights, online or on battery, supplemented by audible alarms when switching to battery, at low battery and on overload. There is therefore no automatic shutdown controlled from the computer.
Is the BVX1200LI noisy next to a desk?
No, it is rated at 40 dBA — the level of a quiet room. It sits on the floor, measures 14 cm wide by 39 cm deep and 19 cm high, and weighs 7.5 kg.
Can the BVX1200LI be rack-mounted?
No, it is a tower format, to be placed on the floor or under a desk. For an IT cabinet, you need a model specified as rack-mountable, with its rails and its height in U.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?
8 hours for a typical recharge, on a 12 V sealed lead-acid battery. After a long power cut, give it the night before relying on full runtime again.
Is the APC Easy UPS BVX1200LI new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document, for a period of 2 years. It absorbs surges of up to 273 joules and meets the EN/IEC 62040-1 and 62040-2 standards. The datasheet covers the rest.
