APC Easy UPS BVX BVX700LI Line-Interactive UPS - 360 W / 700 VA - 4 C13 outlets
Entry-level UPS, compact and quiet (40 dB), to protect a light computer workstation. Battery life around 6 minutes at half load, time enough to shut down cleanly.
Battery life around 6 min at half load (180 W), 2 min at 70%
Compact format, not rackable (floor-standing tower)
An entry-level UPS to protect a computer workstation: line-interactive with voltage regulation and 700 VA / 360 W. Technology & protection: it switches to battery the moment the power fails, protects against surges and corrects voltage fluctuations to deliver stable power. Power: 700 VA for 360 W of usable power — a light computer workstation. Runtime: about 6 minutes at half load (180 W) — time to save your work and shut down properly. Outlets: 4 C13 outlets (computer and server power cords). Ideal, for example, for a desktop PC, a monitor or a small switch. 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 BVX700LI run on battery?
6 minutes at 50% load, i.e. 180 W, and only 2 minutes at 70%, i.e. 252 W. The drop is steep: on this UPS, every watt plugged in beyond half the rated power costs a great deal of runtime.
Which outlets does the BVX700LI have?
Four C13 outlets, the format used by computer and server power cords, with one C14 inlet. You will need IEC cords: there are no household sockets on this unit.
What does the AVR regulator correct, and over what range?
It restores the voltage without drawing on the battery, over an input range of 140 to 300 V. That is a very wide window: on mains that fluctuate a lot, the battery is not called upon for a mere voltage dip.
What waveform does the BVX700LI deliver?
A stepped approximation to a sine wave, built up in steps, not a pure sine wave. That is the usual choice in this entry-level range; if your equipment explicitly requires a pure sine wave, opt for a model that specifies one.
How much load can this 700 VA unit really take?
360 W. It is this wattage that you must compare with your equipment: a light computer setup, a broadband router, a recorder. Stay well below it to keep a useful runtime.
How much space does the BVX700LI take up, and is it noisy?
9.8 cm wide, 31 cm deep and 13.8 cm high, weighing 4.2 kg: one of the most compact in its category. It is rated at 40 dBA and cannot be rack-mounted — it is a tower model to be placed on the floor.
What frequency does the UPS operate at?
It automatically detects an input of 50 or 60 Hz ±5 Hz and outputs the same frequency at ±1 Hz, synchronised with the mains. This wide input tolerance avoids needless switchovers on unstable mains.
Is the APC Easy UPS BVX700LI new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document, for a period of 2 years. It is a line-interactive model: it regulates the voltage continuously, instead of simply switching to battery like an offline unit. The datasheet covers the rest.
