Review Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD 1500VA Smart UPS Battery Back Up

The Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD 1500VA Smart UPS Battery Back Up can handle up to 900W. The battery backup is a 2u rack unit with a 3 Year Warranty and $250,000 Insurance.

Power outages are common, but they can be scary. You’ve worked hard on your network, and the last thing you want is to lose access to your network. That’s why this device is so awesome. It’s like a tiny battery powered alarm that saves you during power surges. The alarm is loud, so you can’t miss it.

I have deployed this unit to a few small business clients with wall mount cabinets. It can easily handle:

Modem
Firewall
48 Port Switch
A few other devices

This UPS powers firewalls and switches to make sure VoIP phones continue to work in a power outage. Have had no problems keeping two 24-port switches and a dozen phones up for an hour. It mounted easily on the rack (it is heavy, as expected) and feels solidly built. I’ve have had no issues with this UPS whatsoever.
