S71-1000 vs APC Back-UPS Pro BR1000MS
The S71-1000 and APC Back-UPS Pro BR1000MS are 1000 VA / 600 W line-interactive UPS systems with AVR, LCD, and VRLA batteries. The S71-1000 differentiates with faster transfer, more battery-backed outlets, faster recharge, a more compact and lighter chassis, a touch LCD, and TAA compliance; the APC outputs a pure sine wave on battery.
What the S71-1000 brings
- Faster typical transfer time (4 ms vs 6–10 ms)
- More battery-backed outlets (6 vs 5)
- Faster recharge (4–6 h vs 8 h)
- Shorter depth, lower height, and lighter
- Touch LCD interface
- TAA-compliant for government procurement
