APC 450VA Overview

Designed for computers, wireless networking devices, gaming consoles, security systems, and other electronics, the Back-UPS BN450M from APC not only provides power to your critical electronics when the power goes out, but also offers surge, spike, and lighting protection for attached devices. It offers six total NEMA 5-15R outlets, two of which are surge-only outlets and four of which are battery backup & surge outlets, with three of the outlets featuring block spacing to allow bulky transformers to be plugged in without covering other outlets.

The BN450M provides an output capacity of 255W / 450 VA, a nominal output voltage of 120V, an output frequency of 50/60 Hz ±3 Hz, an input voltage of 120V at 50/60 Hz ±3 Hz using its included 5' cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, has a surge energy rating of 180 joules, and a square waveform. Its sealed, lead-acid battery is maintenance-free and has suspended electrolytes and can be recharged in around 8 hours. When its load is 10W, the BN450M has a runtime of around 214.6 minutes and can also run for 37 minutes when its load is 50W, 15 minutes when its load is 100W, 11 minutes when running a half load of 127.5W, 5 minutes when its load is 200W, and 3 minutes when it is running a full load of 255W. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year warranty and a lifetime connected equipment guarantee of $75,000.

General Features
Stay Connected for Hours During Storms and Blackouts
The BN450M is designed to maximize runtimes for devices such as multiple computers and television equipment that consume high amounts of power. After these devices are safely shut down, the BN450M continues to run low power loads (such as home networking equipment) for over 3 hours during extended outages.
Trusted Power Protection and Convenience
The BN450M features a total of six power outlets, all of which shield your devices against dangerous surges and spikes in voltage. Four of these are battery-backed outlets that will continue to provide power to connected devices when there is an outage. This UPS also offers 3 transformer block spaced outlets, so you can connect bulky transformers without covering other outlets.
ENERGY STAR Rated for Efficiency
The Back-UPS BN450M is ENERGY STAR certified for its efficient operation and ability to help realize lower energy costs.
Warranty and Equipment Protection Policy
The Back-UPS BN450M is covered by a limited 3-year warranty. It also comes with a limited lifetime connected equipment protection policy of up to $75,000. APC will repair or replace attached devices that sustain surge-related damage while properly connected to a registered Back-UPS uninterruptible power supply unit.
Safety
Safety-Agency Approved
Helps ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment.
Protection
Battery-Protected and Surge-Only Outlets
Battery-protected outlets reserve power capacity and run time for connected equipment that require UPS battery backup, while also providing surge-only protection for less critical equipment. Surge-only outlets protect secondary electronics from surges and spikes without reducing battery power used to run primary electronics during an outage.

can i bring it to travel in an airplane?
Asked by: Roberto
The APC Back-UPS BN450M is small enough to fit in a large suitcase. However, please check with the airline's restrictions on what can be brought on-board to be completely sure this is allowed. It is possible they may ban large batteries for safety reasons.
