Re: IESO Voltage Reduction Test on Feb 7th Right, but my BR1500 has an enormously tighter voltage range than my BR1500G.
In any event, I plugged apcupsd into munin (see attached). It also graphs the load capacity percent, battery capacity percent, power consumption in watts, and runtime remaining in minutes.

Checked my logs (Ottawa) and saw a drop from 121 to 117/118 for the first period and from 121 to 113/114 for the second period.
Oh and my APC Smart-UPS X 1500 is set to 106 to 127 for acceptable input voltage for comparison. This is the tightest setting. It can go to 97-136 at the loosest.
And the firmware on these things is definitely a work in progress. Earlier versions had serious issues with network connectivity dropping out on a regular basis and switching to battery for fun. They've fixed most of this but it still reboots the NMC2 card from time to time (once a month?) for fun. |

Woot for extended run batteries. |

He probably attached an extended runtime battery kit to his ups.

| According to the model number it has no support for external battery packs. |

1 edit | The BR1500 also supported an external battery, the BR24BP :P You were looking at the BR1500LCD.
Here are the model breakdown:
BR1500: Beige, thin and tall, "Back-UPS RS 1500", supported external battery, no screen
BR1500LCD: Dark gray, short and squat, "Back-UPS RS 1500 LCD", no external battery, LCD screen
BR1500G: Black, in between the two in shape, "Back-UPS Pro 1500", supports external battery, LCD screen
I have two of them among my active UPS:
BR1500 + BR24BP
BR1500G + BR24BPG
BE750G
The BE750G only powers the modems/routers, so it should get a very long runtime despite being a small unit.
