[Hidden-tech] CP1500PFCLCD UPS

[Daniel Belmont]

Elijah --

  I find this to be an interesting discussion as in online reviews I read
several people said
that recently APC's quality had gone down and that is why they were going
with
Cyberpower ...

   How can I put my new UPS through a rigorous test (with regards to the
battery all I have done
so far is charge it and then just make sure it works minimally with a
digital alarm clock) ? Do I
want to force it to battery and then have it run for 30 minutes to an hour ?
what else do I want to
do ?

Thanks much,
Dan
