US purchase packageEaton Tripp Lite series SMART1500LCDT, 1500 VA / 900 W, 120 V, ten NEMA 5-15R outlets; Mfg # SMART1500LCDT, CDW # 2864530; Eaton UPC 037332174109; not SMART1500LCDTXC or SMART1500LCD

Product & sources

Standard US UPS with internal batteries, attached 5-15P cord, USB cable and owner's manual. PowerAlert software is a separate free download.

Five outlets are battery-backed; the other five are surge-only and stay energized whenever the UPS is plugged in.

Replacement requires two RBC51 cartridges; the regulatory series number on the delivered nameplate is not established by the merchant page.

Product & sources

Standard exact BR1500MS2 US unit with installed battery and supplied USB communication cable. The optional serial communication cable is not included.

Preserve the MS2 suffix and 120 V region. BR1500MS and other regional suffixes are separate product identities.

The rear Data Port supports the supplied communication cable. Front USB Type-A/Type-C ports charge devices; Ethernet IN/OUT sockets provide surge protection.

Official transfer-time and body-dimension conflicts remain unresolved. Runtime-calculator test conditions are not fully stated.

Sources disagree

The sources give different answers, so we have not chosen one as fact. Read the attached notes and confirm the current specification before relying on it.

The datasheet table says PWM sine wave and the owner's manual says quasi-sine (PWM) in battery mode, while the datasheet introduction and SKU page use pure or regulated sine wave wording. Both technical tables describe PWM output; it is not recorded as pure sine wave.

Questions to check before buying

Battery-mode waveform is conflicting: PWM sine wave in the datasheet versus quasi-sine (PWM) in the manual, with pure sine wave marketing wording elsewhere.

Transfer time conflicts between the datasheet (2 ms / 6 ms) and the manual (10 ms maximum); weight and metric depth are internally inconsistent in the datasheet.

The runtime chart dates from 2012 and does not state test conditions.

The SKU page carries series template text (RS-232, EPO, network-switchable outlets) not supported by the model datasheet or manual. No physical runtime or shutdown test was performed.

Transfer time is conflicting: current US page 8 ms typical / 10 ms maximum versus April 2026 manual 8 ms maximum. No resolved transfer limit is asserted.

Body dimensions are conflicting, including internally inconsistent inch/mm values in the current linked manual. No body-size or installation-fit assertion is resolved.

The manufacturer runtime calculator supplies the exact 100 W and 200 W estimates, but does not state battery age, charge state, numeric ambient temperature or load power factor. These conditions are not assumed to match CyberPower's.

No physical USB shutdown, power-outage or restoration test was performed. A supplied data cable does not establish exact NAS/firmware compatibility.

Network management is unknown from the reviewed sources. Ethernet surge-protection connectors must not be treated as a network management interface.
