FAQs
How long will the APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA run at full load?
Runtime depends on load. At 100W, the unit provides approximately 1 hour 8 minutes of backup runtime. Higher loads will reduce runtime; lower loads will extend it. Consult APC's runtime charts for specific load scenarios.
Can I replace the battery myself?
Yes. The APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA features a user-replaceable battery, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. The replacement battery model is APCRBC166.
What is the difference between the 6 UPS outlets and the 2 surge-only outlets?
The 6 UPS outlets provide both battery backup power and surge protection during mains failures. The 2 surge-only outlets deliver only surge and spike protection but no battery backup, making them suitable for non-critical peripherals.
Does this UPS work with Australian mains voltage?
Yes. The Back-UPS Pro 1600VA operates on 230V and supports 50/60Hz frequency auto-sensing. It is certified for use in Australia with RCM certification and complies with local electrical standards.
What does Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) do?
AVR automatically corrects input voltage fluctuations between 176–294V without using battery power. This stabilisation reduces battery drain during minor voltage variations, extending overall runtime during extended outages.
Is the APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA rack-mountable?
No. This model is tower-format only and is not designed for rack mounting. It is suited for floor or desk placement in offices and server rooms.
What certifications does this UPS hold?
The unit complies with A-Tick, C-Tick, CE, EAC, RCM, TISI, and GS Mark certifications. It also meets EN/IEC 62040 standards for UPS systems.
