CP1500EPFCLCD – Backup UPS Systems | CyberPower
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/04/05
Reminder to self to write a bit more on the usage of a UPS my brother has got for a while now: CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD which is Line-Interactive with Pure Sine Wave output.
Before buying the ESXi support seemed incredible.

I got it via Amazon.de, though there might be better priced sources.

ESXi support:
- It took a long while to get ESXi 6.7+ support because the PowerPanel seems to reliy on vMA which has been deprecated in ESXi 6.7 in favour of vCenter API:
- Finally in April 2019, a new Version 4.0 of PowerPanel was released that supported ESXi 6.7; more details at:

Darn. Well, there’s always VMUG Advantage EVALExperience for $200, or $180 using TINKERTRY discount code, pretty much all VMware software for 365 days, and can be renewed so you don’t have to rebuild.

ESXi 6.7 uses vCenter API as a replacement for vMA (6.5). Assume that that is the issue here.

- Since RMCARD is not available for this model, you could not apply the workaround at [WayBack] GitHub – robby-dermody/cpesxi_util: Simple script to trigger an ESXi server shutdown if a Cyberpower UPS registers a low battery state
I will write a new blog post with installation instructions when I start experimenting with this setup.
Edit 20220521
Didn’t manage to find time for installation instructions as installing was in the midst of my rectum cancer treatment period.
But I did find the video below and a good review at [Wayback/Archive] Test: CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD – Hardware Journal which has this big picture of the back side (showing all outlets are battery backed, as opposed to some APC models that don’t):

Hi
i think you’ve got a wrong picture, this is an APC UPS. if i can add my opinion i owe from 2-3 years an APC BR1200 e BR1500 and both from the begining (after they replaced me 4 batteries and 2 units) “comes” with around the 20% less of battery autonomy if you compare the official white papers …. a big delusion …
on a BR1200 720W with a load of 13% the ups should “resist” around 60 minutes officialy…but you “get” if you are very lucky only 45minutes….. if not 35-40
would be intresting to know the performance of this one

I should have looked better. Great you spotted the issue!
