APC Back-UPS 850VA 8 French outlets
The APC Back-UPS 850VA backup power supply, with 8 French sockets and off-line topology, delivers a real power of 520W and an apparent power of 850VA to protect home electronics and computer setups. This off-line UPS bridges short-term power outages, powering devices for 2 minutes and 13 seconds at full load. At a lower consumption, such as 50% load, the backup time extends to over 13 minutes. Automatic voltage regulation actively stabilises fluctuating voltage without needing to switch to the backup battery, thus saving its lifespan. It also includes surge protection and practical USB charging ports.

Performance and topology
This backup power supply uses off-line topology, which achieves an efficiency of 99.1% at full load. It provides an apparent power of 850VA and a real power of 520W. At full load, it powers devices for 2 minutes and 13 seconds, while at half load, the backup time extends to over 13 minutes. The integrated automatic voltage regulation stabilises the output voltage without switching to the battery.
Battery and protection features
The core of the power supply is an internal 12V lead-acid battery with a capacity of 9Ah, which fully charges in 16 hours. The design allows for simple battery replacement by the user, extending the device's lifespan. Integrated deep discharge protection prevents irreversible battery damage. Surge protection with an absorption capacity of 310J protects connected electronics against voltage spikes.
Software and management
The PowerChute Serial Shutdown software handles communication with the computer and advanced power management. Once connected via the USB port, it monitors the battery status and, in the event of a prolonged power outage, performs an automatic, controlled shutdown of the operating system. This prevents the loss of unsaved data.
Connectivity and sockets
The backup power supply connects to the mains with a French/Belgian plug. To power appliances, it offers eight output sockets of the same type. Six of them provide full backup and surge protection simultaneously. The remaining two sockets function only as surge protection for less critical devices. In addition to the communication ports, the power supply includes separate USB-A and USB-C charging ports for topping up mobile phones and tablets. With dimensions of 120×130×365mm and a weight of 4.5kg, you can place the unit on a desk or mount it on a wall.
