Hello, Since this unit is Simulated Sine Wave ...
Hello,
Since this unit is Simulated Sine Wave will it be able to power my G Tech External Hard Drives for about 10 minutes? That is of course depending on how many hard drives I have connected. Usually 3-5. Or will I need a Pure Sine Wave unit? Also I reside in the Philippines and the Voltage here is 220 Volts. Can I connect this unit to a Voltage Reducer? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
John
I back up G Tech external RAID systems, and many other digital electronics, with this specific APC unit and have never seen problems. The runtime on battery will depend on the entire load. You can run a 120V UPS from a 220V main for 120V loads with a permanently-connected and properly-sized (big, heavy) step-down transformer, but other voltage reducers are not going to work.

Does it void the warranty if a power strip is connected to it? There's no way for me to connect my devices to it, not enough.
It is possible to connect a power strip to the APC Battery Back-UPS Pro BX1500M, BH #APBX1500M, without voiding the warranty. However, doing so is not advisable because it can void the Equipment Protection Plan (EPP). Additionally, attaching a power strip to the UPS can mask the actual power load, causing the UPS to report a lower load than is actually present. That can potentially lead to various power issues.

Will the unit restart on its own after power has been out for a day or more and the battery is drained?
The APC Battery Back-UPS Pro BX1500M will restart itself unless the circuit breaker is tripped. If tripped, you would have to manually reset the battery.
