GOLDENMATE 1000VA/800W Lithium UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, White

I've been very happy with this UPS. It's a great solution for providing temporary backup power to my gaming PC, security cameras, and internet equipment during short power outages. It gives me enough time to safely shut down my computer and keeps my network and cameras running when the power goes out. So far, the unit has performed exactly as expected. It was easy to set up, operates quietly, and gives me peace of mind knowing my equipment is protected from both power interruptions and surges. Overall, this has been an excellent purchase, and I'm impressed enough that I plan to buy a second unit for a future project. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable UPS for home electronics.

I bought three of these and have been using them for just shy of a year. So far, so good! Two of them are the 600W models and one is the 800W. The two 600 watt units are keeping my workstation, router, ONT, switches, wireless, and other gear up and running. Each is only powering about 120-150 watts worth of equipment, so I have seen close to an hour of backup time during outages. Since most outages here are fairly brief, this has kept my uptime and productivity to a maximum. I only bought the 800W one because it was on sale and I figured I could use it for *something*. Ended up using it for my refrigerator lol. While my power doesn't go out often, it does flash somewhat frequently and sometimes quite violently (think the scene from Poltergeist). A control board in my fridge had already fried once so I figured adding a UPS as protection wouldn't hurt. So far, so good. During the last outage, it ran my full size fridge for about 40 minutes (would have run it longer, but the defrost cycle kicked in which is 400W versus the usual ~100 watt when it's cooling). I've got a LiFePO4 ebike battery that's about 12 years old and going strong, so I know the battery chemistry used in these is made for the long haul. So I can only hope the electronics in these UPSs are built to last as well. The only thing I can find to complain about with these is that there's no serial port to be able to monitor them from a PC which means there's no way to detect a power outage and have the equipment shut down automatically. For a home office or entertainment center, that's not too big a deal but if you're planning to use these for servers, you might want to look at a different model so you can safely shutdown your equipment.

These Goldenmate UPS have become my go to UPS. The Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries provide longer run time than traditional SLA battery UPS's and the 10 year expected life time is great. We are seeing roughly 2-3 years out of comparable SLA chemistry units so this will provide a cost savings to customers. Plus they are smaller in size and much lighter than a traditional SLA UPS.

I picked one of these up close to when they first launched, as I was aware of some of the benefits that the more modern batteries provided in comparison to most consumer based UPS devices- most notably, the lifespan. I have had this device powering most hardware on my home network rack for just over a year and a half, and am happy to report that it's been solid so far. The Good: The design is pretty standard, the cable feels durable, and the fans aren't very loud if/when they need to run. There are plenty of plugs on the back, and the device seems to keep most devices running through a power outage (more on that in the next section). There is a single button to operate the device- so not much to worry about in terms of making sure it's powered on. The Less Good: There's very little in the way of documentation or labels on anything... It would appear that ALL of the power outlets on the back of this device will run on battery backup, but nothing in the 'user guide' or the device itself specifies if any of the ports are 'Surge only' as you will see on literally every other UPS out there (which is nice if/when you have any devices that may exceed the power rating of the UPS). The device claims to have PSW and ultra fast cutover - but there is still enough of a gap that the SFX power supply plugged into my NAS will always shut down during the cutover to battery power... I have yet to test the NAS on other battery backups, and I am aware that SFX power supplies are a bit picky when it comes to fault protection - so I'm not counting that against this too much- but did want to note it, as I have tried a couple of different PSU's with no difference in behavior. Otherwise, when this is cheaper than lead acid based competetitors, I'd consider selecting it again or trying the newer options with USB connectivity. I'd like to see more labeling on the power ports, and possibly some Surge Only ports if there was a new version someday- but we'll just have to wait and see how long this one actually lasts.

Very simple operation. One button for on/off, alarm silence and show display. Not a lot of bells and whistles but does what it's supposed to do. It provides a smooth, stable current when the house voltage drops or is fluctuating. I would recommend this unit.

Works well. Switches over quick enough it doesn't register by any of my even sensitive electronics. However one minor annoyance is it switches something every night at midnight. So you hear the some what loud click. I haven't run a full depletion cycle but did cycle it 3x from 20-90% to keep battery "healthy." And should run it under a load until 10-20% every so often to keep it in good heath. I kinda wished the display can stay on instead of timing out.

I plugged it in... Running 3 machines in my homelab... 132 watts on the front meter ... I pulled plug as a test everything stayed up and running Got to say I was a little dubious of this new brand that I had never heard of before... I was intrigued by the 10-year claim on the battery... It's not as heavy as I was expecting so it will go on the shelf no problem... And it seems to be doing what I need it to do... I'm very impressed... I wish the document was a a little bit larger with larger print, but otherwise it was understandable and it was pretty self-explanatory anyway if you've ever used in one of these things...

All major brands like APC, Cyberpower, etc. have Lithium based UPS devices, but are price gated at a min of 800 USD, commonly 1500 USD or more, marketed for the enterprise sector only. Finally a company that brings the longevity of lithium to the consumer UPS based market at an extremely affordable price! With my current Cyberpower 1500VA/900W model, with an avg of 100w draw, i can get about 45 more mins of runtime before loses power completely. There was a year where I experienced freq outages and had to rely on the UPS to keep me online till I could get the generator started and connected to house. Also the generator would occasionally spike to 62Hz, which is outside Cyberpower and APC's sensing AC power freq, so it would stop charging, supper annoying. After a year of full drains I had to replace the battery, which avg about 1/3 the cost of the unit itself. If infrequent power loss events the batteries usually last about 2 years, 3 years if they're AGM instead of sealed lead acid based. With this Goldenmate unit the battery runtime with an avg of 100w draw lasts for almost 3 hrs! The power loss alarm is a very pleasant beep that is about 3x lower decibel than other UPSs. I'm hoping the batteries used in this unit are on the higher end and will last near the 10 year warranty mark. Since this is Lithium and not AGM based batteries, it's about 3x lighter than the comparable AGM based unit. The cons: -No USB connection for external monitoring/feature option changes with rasp pi/linux like most UPS units at this price point have had for the past 15+ years. -No way to mute the alarm or adjust it to turn on when the battery is critically low. -Spacing issues on the 8 plug model, in order to connect a large voltage regulated plug (e.g. cellphone charger) I have to use a power strip, or partially cover another plug. -Power the unit on and off is a simple push, rather than a push and hold for 3+ seconds, which makes it possible to accidently power down if something accidently knocks into it. Overall this is an excellent consumer UPS, if it just had some of the industry standard features mentioned in the cons section, this would easily be a 5 star product. To those wondering how to dismantle this unit it's put together using tabs, so just use a shim to pop them then the cover slides off. Although the power loss alarm is quiet, it gets annoying to hear for 3hrs, so I had to get into the unit to disable it. 3 Weeks later updated from 4 to 1 star review. I live off grid, when anything with an initial high AMP draw like a water pump or AC unit kicks on, everything attached to the goldenmate stays on except for my PC for some reason. My other UPS didn't have that issue. Also after about 2 weeks, I hear a noticeable buzzing sound, it's slightly loud than my PC fan. This usually indicates that either the voltage regulator is about to fail or is of subpar quality, either way it's super annoying. But the number 1 thing I need it to save is my PC during a power surge/outage event which it fails to provide. Since it's SO much cheaper than any other lithium based UPS, I'm going to exchange it, I'm hoping this is just a dud. I will update later. 12/2/24 update - 1 star to 4 stars There was no option to exchange the original unit I purchased from August, so I returned it for a full refund. They had a cheaper deal directly from them vs their Amazon store for Black Friday so I ordered 3 of them and and got an extra $9 off each for bulk discount. They were shipped much faster than when I originally ordered though Amazon in August 2024. The current model has had an improvement revision compared to the previous unit I bought in August; the newer unit's power button has been changed from standard on/off to a multi-function button. So now there's no accidental power switch bump power loss, it's a 3 sec hold delay. A single press temp mutes the buzzer during power loss and fault code errors. They also added a proprietary serial port for troubleshooting - Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on consumer usage, seems to be a factory only service serial port. To add to the con list, they should implement extra app based controls to help prolong the life of the battery, or implement some hard coded limits like unit shutdown at 10% battery life. 12/14/24 update - Zero post-sale support - 4 stars to 2 stars 2 of the 3 units I ordered direct work perfectly, the 1 that doesn't, after ~2 weeks of great performance, it auto-shutoff with the error USO, which is an error referring to an overload. The directions to resolve this error are to turn off the unit, unplug all devices, turn unit on and plug in devices 1 by 1. I found out that mine is defective, I plugged in a monitor that was using 1watt, then a phone charger using 15w, and various other devices, they all singularly caused the USO error. I emailed them at [email protected], it's been 3 days now and no response, it's the weekend now, I'm going to give them till Monday to respond, after which I'll start a dispute with Paypal. Any year length warranty means nothing when they ignore your support requests... Buy at your own risk to it becoming a paper weight in 1 year. 12/18/24 update It took them 1 biz week to respond. My unit is clearly defective and their expert instructions were to try all the things in the manual that I already did, and when that doesn't work, leave the unit off and unplugged for a week then try again... In conclusion, they really don't want to ship a replacement nor do they want to issue a refund... AGAIN, BUYER BEWARE! I've opened a dispute with Paypal. 2/20/25 update - 2 stars to 3 stars In conclusion out of the 3 units bought 2 of them work great still, the other 1 is a dud. Thankfully Paypal saw through their back and forth BS and Goldenmate's unwillingness to honor their own warranty, I was able to get my money back for the 1 defective unit. If you bought via Amazon then unfortunately your SOL if you have an issue after 30 days, because they are the stereotypical CN scam company when it comes to warranty honoring. Today, Goldenmate is still the only company that provides a lithium based UPS at a great price targeted for the average consumer's market, I would buy again, BUY VIA THEIR OFFICIAL SITE AND WITH PAYPAL ONLY SO YOU HAVE OVER 30 DAYS BUYER PROTECTION, plus they offer volume discounts for 2+ - Otherwise you're risking throwing away $159 - $200 (amazon only pricing) each.

Excelente producto! Funciona bastante bien en apagones

Me ha ayudado mucho, 5 ocasiones se me ha ido la luz y el mantenido jugar teniendo internet estable. 10 de 10

todo bien

Funcionó correctamente un año y medio hasta que dejó de encender. El soporte oficial no atiende más que ventas directas de la marca.
