APC BACK-UPS BX700U-FR Line-Interactive UPS - 390 W / 700 VA - 3 FR outlets
Compact desktop UPS for a PC and an internet router: runtime of around 8 minutes at half load, time enough to save and shut down cleanly. Light (6.2 kg).
Runtime around 8 min at half load (195 W), 4 min at 70%
All the outlets battery-backed
USB port for automatic system shutdown
Status indicator lights (charge, battery, overload)
Desktop UPS to protect a PC and its internet box: line-interactive with voltage regulation and 700 VA / 390 W. Technology & protection: it takes over on battery the instant the power cuts out, absorbs surges and corrects voltage dips and spikes to deliver stable power. Power: 700 VA for 390 W of usable output — a light computer workstation and its internet box. Runtime: approx. 8 minutes at half load (195 W), 4 minutes at 70% — enough time to save your work and shut down properly. Outlets: 3 French outlets — plug your devices straight in, no adapter needed. Ideal, for example, for a desktop computer, an internet box or a games console. Remember to check how much power your equipment draws and to choose the capacity according to the runtime you need.

Frequently asked questions about this product
Are all three outlets on the BX700U-FR battery-backed?
Yes, all three French outlets are powered by the battery: none is reserved for surge protection only. That is a sensible choice on a 390 W UPS intended for a PC and its broadband modem.
How long does the BX700U-FR run on battery?
8 minutes at 50% load, i.e. 195 W, and 4 minutes at 70%, i.e. 273 W. The transfer is fast: 4 milliseconds typical, imperceptible to a computer.
What does this UPS's AVR correct, and over what range?
It restores the voltage without drawing on the battery, over an input range of 140 to 300 V. This wide range is valuable where the grid varies a lot: the battery does not discharge for a mere voltage dip.
What does the UPS show during a power cut?
An illuminated display distinguishes four states: on-line, on battery, replace battery and overload. Three audible alarms back them up — switch to battery, low-battery threshold, and a continuous tone in the event of overload.
How much power can you really put on this 700 VA unit?
390 W, which means a power factor of 0.55. Add up the watts of the computer tower and the broadband modem, and stay below this ceiling: beyond it, the overload alarm sounds continuously.
What waveform does the BX700U-FR deliver?
An approximated sine wave, built up in steps, not a pure sine wave. Its surge suppressor also absorbs 273 joules.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?
6 hours — faster than the average for the category. The replacement battery has the reference APCRBC110: it is the battery you replace after a few years, not the UPS.
How much space does the BX700U-FR take up, and is it noisy?
115 × 257 × 200 mm and 6.2 kg, with a 1.52 m input cord. It stays below 45 dBA: better placed on the floor than next to the monitor.
What is in the box, and how do you control the UPS?
The UPS and its user manual. A USB port lets you connect the unit to a computer to trigger an automatic system shutdown before the battery runs out.
Is the APC Back-UPS BX700U-FR new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document, for 2 years with repair or replacement. It complies with RoHS and REACH. The datasheet lists all the values.
