CyberPower BL1450U Battery Back-UPS

[Charles Loy]

Assuming this is best ask here in the Post-processing - I bought a CyberPower Battery backup for the computer and related gear, and want to test it. On the YouTube a couple examples show turning the electric off to the whole household at the main. I ask if simply unplugging the unit from it's electric plug will work? Will there be a concern doing that? Should be that simple, I say. Anyone have a suggestion?

I have an APC with my Synology NAS, modem, router and TV connected, but that’s what I did for testing. Basically, that’s what happens when your power goes out anyway. It worked great!

Great, Thanks. I see no sense killing the electric to the whole house, but I thought I may be overlooking something.
In the past I was working at the computer and the electric went off during a wind storm. I had to get the computer repaired, would not boot up.

Yeah, the battery backup allows connected devices time to properly shut down (like the Synology) if they have that capability.

The only thing I might consider is that there could be a small arc between the plug and the outlet when pulling or inserting the UPS. I use Cyberpower also...
