Non-contractual photos

The visuals on this page are supplied by the manufacturer. They are frequently produced for a whole range — not for the exact model you are viewing: what you see in the photo is never a promise of what is included.

No exchange, return or cancellation will be accepted on the grounds that something seen in a photo (accessory, port, colour, keyboard layout, packaging…) is not found on the delivered product. Only the specifications written on the page are binding for the order.

What the image does not guarantee:

  • Outlets : the number and type of outlets (Schuko, IEC) vary between versions of a single photographed series.
  • Options : LCD display, USB or RJ45 port, SNMP network card and rack kit are supplied only if the specifications say so.
  • Batteries : the additional battery modules photographed next to the UPS are sold separately.
  • Runtime : it depends on the load actually plugged in, never on what the image shows.
  • Colour : one image often serves several colours, and the shade you see depends on studio lighting as much as on your screen settings; the colour sold is the one in the title and the specifications.
  • Props and accessories : the items shown around the product (cables, stands, decorative objects, content displayed on screen) are not included unless explicitly stated.
  • Packaging : boxes, labels and bundles change with the manufacturer's revisions: the packaging delivered may differ from the one in the photo.

What is binding: the product title, this page's technical specifications, the description and, when provided, the manufacturer's PDF datasheet available in the downloads.

Product overview

A compact, affordable UPS to protect the essentials: line-interactive with voltage regulation and 500 VA / 300 W.
Technology & protection: it switches to battery the moment the power fails, protects against surges and corrects voltage fluctuations to deliver stable power.
Power: 500 VA for 300 W of usable power — a light computer workstation.
Outlets: 6 C13 outlets (computer and server power cords).
Quiet operation (40 dB), ideal next to a workstation.
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 much load can you plug into the BV500I?
300 W, for a stated 500 VA. That suits a simple desktop PC with its monitor, or a modem and a small switch: add up the watts printed on your power supplies, never the VA in the product name.
Are all six outlets on the BV500I battery-backed?
Yes, all six C13 outlets are powered by the battery. Input is via a C14 inlet, with a 1.5 m cord: you will need IEC cords for your devices, as there are no household sockets.
What waveform does the BV500I 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 long does the BV500I take to switch to battery?
6 milliseconds typical, 10 maximum. A computer power supply rides through such a gap without a hitch: the session is not interrupted and the screen does not go off.
Within what voltage range does the BV500I run on mains power?
From 170 to 280 V. Within this range, the automatic regulator corrects dips and surges without drawing on the battery, which thus remains available for real power cuts.
How long does it take to recharge the BV500I?
8 hours for a typical recharge, on a sealed lead-acid battery with a stated service life of 3 to 5 years. After a long power cut, give it the night before relying on its full runtime again.
How can you tell that the BV500I has switched to battery?
By an indicator light that distinguishes operation on mains from operation on battery, and by audible alarms: one when switching to battery, another at low battery, and a continuous alarm in the event of overload.
Does the BV500I take up a lot of space on a desk?
No: 9.3 cm high, 16.1 wide, 30.5 deep, weighing 3.9 kg. It is rated at 40 dBA measured at one metre, the level of a quiet room — it slips under a desk without being noticed.
Is the APC Easy UPS BV500I 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 156 joules and meets the EN/IEC 62040-1 and 62040-2 standards. The datasheet covers the rest.
