Overview
- The APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA/960W is a line interactive UPS that provides dependable power protection for business and home environments. With 1600VA capacity and 960W output, it delivers sufficient backup power for servers, computers, routers, and external storage devices. The unit features six UPS-protected outlets and two surge-only outlets, allowing you to prioritise which devices receive battery backup during a power outage.
The built-in automatic voltage regulation (AVR) protects connected equipment from voltage fluctuations without drawing battery power, extending overall runtime. The user-replaceable battery design minimises long-term ownership costs and simplifies maintenance. At 100W load, the UPS provides approximately 68 minutes of runtime, allowing IT staff and business users sufficient time to safely shut down systems or transfer workload to alternative infrastructure.
Dual USB ports enable device communication for automated shutdown procedures and monitoring software integration. The LCD display with audible alarms provides clear visibility of power status, battery health, and load conditions. Operating across 50/60 Hz networks with automatic frequency sensing, this UPS is suited for businesses with diverse geographical locations across Australia.

FAQs
How long will the APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA provide backup power?
Runtime depends on the load connected. At 100W, the UPS provides approximately 1 hour 18 minutes of backup time. At maximum load (960W), runtime is approximately 3 minutes 36 seconds. This provides sufficient time to save work and gracefully shut down systems during a power outage.
What is the difference between UPS-protected and surge-protected outlets?
This UPS has 6 outlets with full UPS battery backup and surge protection, and 2 outlets with surge protection only. Connect critical devices (servers, computers, routers) to UPS-protected outlets and non-critical devices (monitors, printers) to surge-only outlets to maximise runtime.
Can the battery be replaced by the user?
Yes. The APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA features a user-replaceable battery, reducing long-term maintenance costs. The replacement battery model is APCRBC163. Battery replacement does not require technical expertise or professional service.
Does the UPS include monitoring software?
The UPS features dual USB ports (Type A and Type C) that enable connection to computers for monitoring and automated shutdown. Compatible software allows real-time status monitoring and graceful shutdown of connected systems during extended power loss.
What does automatic voltage regulation (AVR) do?
AVR automatically corrects voltage fluctuations without drawing battery power. This protects connected equipment from brown-outs and voltage spikes, reducing reliance on battery backup during unstable mains power and extending overall runtime.
Is the APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA rack-mountable?
No, this model is a tower-form unit designed for placement on or under desks and in server rooms. It is not suitable for standard 19-inch equipment racks.
What input voltage does this UPS require?
The UPS operates at 230V AC with a maximum input current of 10A. It automatically senses 50/60 Hz mains frequency and accepts input voltage between 176–294V, providing protection across Australian power conditions.
What warranty does the APC Back-UPS Pro 1600VA include?
The unit includes a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
