CyberPower CP1350AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS System - Reliable Backup

Our review of the CyberPower CP1350AVRLCD3 finds it best suited for home offices, desktop workstations, and small network closets that need dependable short-duration power backup and surge protection. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an informative color LCD and Automatic Voltage Regulation, which reduces unnecessary battery use by correcting brownouts and overvoltages before the unit switches to battery. For users who want clear status at a glance and multiple protected outlets, this UPS balances protection, ease of setup, and practical runtime in a compact mini-tower.

Key Features

• 1350VA/815W capacity: Provides enough backup power to keep a desktop and networking gear running through brief outages so work can be saved and devices shut down cleanly.
• Color LCD panel: Displays immediate, detailed information about battery and power conditions so users can spot issues before equipment is affected.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Corrects minor power fluctuations without switching to battery, which extends battery life and keeps equipment stable during common voltage dips.
• Twelve outlets with mixed protection: Six outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection while six additional outlets offer surge-only protection for less-critical peripherals.
• USB charge ports: One Type-A and one Type-C USB port let users quickly charge phones and tablets from the UPS rather than occupying a protected outlet.
• Three-year warranty and guarantee: Includes a three-year warranty covering the unit and battery plus a $500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee for greater peace of mind.

Who It's For

The CP1350AVRLCD3 is ideal for small business owners, remote workers, and home media enthusiasts who need a compact UPS that offers clear status reporting and decent short-term runtime for a desktop, modem/router, and select peripherals. Its AVR and color LCD make it a practical choice where power quality varies but outages are usually short.

It is less appropriate for users who require uninterrupted pure sine wave output for sensitive audio equipment or power-hungry servers, or for those who need long runtime during extended outages. For large server racks or mission-critical systems, a larger or true sine wave UPS would be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clear, informative color LCD that reports battery and line conditions in real time.
• AVR corrects minor voltage swings without draining the battery, extending battery life.
• Good outlet layout with six battery-backup plus six surge-only outlets for mixed equipment protection.
• Includes USB Type-A and Type-C ports for device charging without using protected outlets.

Cons

• Uses a simulated sine wave output, so it may not be ideal for sensitive audio gear or some medical and lab equipment.
• Some users report mixed runtime under light surges, so heavier loads will shorten backup time noticeably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it provide pure sine wave output?
No. The unit uses simulated sine wave output, which is suitable for most computers and networking gear but not recommended for very sensitive audio or certain medical devices.

How many outlets have battery backup?
Six of the twelve NEMA 5-15R outlets provide battery backup and surge protection; the other six are surge-only.

Is the battery covered?
Yes. The UPS includes a three-year warranty that covers the unit and the battery, plus a $500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee.
