APC BV800I uninterruptible power supply (UPS) Line-Interactive 0.8 kVA 450 W

The APC BV800I is a Compact Line-Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) delivering 0.8 kVA (450 W) output power and using sealed lead acid battery technology. It provides automatic voltage regulation to correct low and high mains voltages, battery backup via C13 outlets, surge protection and a 1.52 m power cable. The unit is certified to RoHS and CE standards and is designed for reliable protection of network gateway equipment, home office devices and other critical low-power electronics.

Advantages

The UPS offers Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) that steps up low voltage and steps down high voltage to levels suitable for connected equipment, reducing unnecessary battery usage. LED indicators and audible alarms give clear status information about utility and UPS conditions. Intelligent battery management extends battery life through precision charging, while advanced safety features protect the UPS and connected devices from overloads, short circuits and improper installation. Battery failure notification provides early warning for preventive maintenance.

Suitable for

• Home networking equipment (modem, router, gateway)
• Small office or home office computers and peripherals
• Low-power devices requiring short-term runtime during outages

How to use

Place the APC BV800I on a stable, flat surface or mount it using the provided wall-mount holes where adequate ventilation is available. Connect your critical devices to the battery-backed C13 outlets and non-critical surge-only loads (if present) to the appropriate outlets. Plug the UPS into a grounded AC mains outlet using the integrated 1.52 m cable. The unit will regulate voltage automatically and switch to battery power during outages; monitor the LED indicators and listen for audible alarms to assess status. Follow the manufacturer’s battery maintenance schedule for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, install the UPS indoors in a dust-free, temperature-controlled environment, avoid overloading beyond the 450 W rating, perform periodic battery tests, and replace the sealed lead acid battery according to the manufacturer’s lifespan guidance (up to 5 years) or when battery failure notification occurs.
