CyberPower PFC Sinewave Series: Specs, Models & Replacement Batteries Canada
CyberPower PFC Sinewave Series for Canada: pure-sinewave protection for Active-PFC gaming PCs, modern desktops, NAS and small servers. Replacement batteries and bulk quoting.
The PFC Sinewave models below are the most-searched CyberPower units in Canada. Each row links the unit and its exact replacement battery set, both shipped from our Canadian warehouse.
| Model | VA | Watts | Form factor | Replacement battery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP1500PFCLCD | 1500 VA | 1000 W | Mini-tower | Battery set |
| CP1000PFCLCD | 1000 VA | 600 W | Mini-tower | Battery set |
| CP850PFCLCD | 850 VA | 510 W | Mini-tower | Battery set |
| CP1350PFCLCD | 1350 VA | 810 W | Mini-tower | Battery set |
Battery life on these units: the sealed lead-acid (VRLA) packs last three to five years in normal service. Shorter runtime on the LCD, a failed self-test or a Replace Battery indicator means it is time for a new set. The swap is customer-installable in under fifteen minutes on these models.
The CyberPower PFC Sinewave Series is CyberPower’s pure-sinewave line for desktops, gaming PCs, and any device with an Active-PFC switching power supply that won’t accept a stepped-approximation waveform. We supply the family across Canada from our Canadian warehouse, new units, replacement batteries, bulk quoting for IT refresh rollouts. Best for modern gaming desktops, Mac Studio / Mac mini, small servers, NAS, and any home-office setup where a simulated-sinewave AVR unit would cause the load to disconnect on transfer.
How a line interactive unit protects the load
Line interactive: utility power passes through an AVR transformer that corrects sags and swells, and the transfer switch moves the load to battery when the utility drops.
Why pure sinewave matters for modern desktops
Older switching power supplies were tolerant of a stepped-approximation (“simulated sinewave”) waveform on battery, which is what most line-interactive AVR UPS units output. Newer Active-PFC power supplies, the kind in current gaming PCs, modern Mac desktops, many small-form-factor PCs and current-gen workstations, reject that waveform and shut the load down rather than risk damage. The result is exactly what a UPS is supposed to prevent: an unexpected power loss the moment the mains drops out.
Pure-sinewave UPS units like the CyberPower PFC Sinewave family output a clean sine wave whether the unit is on mains or on battery, so an Active-PFC power supply rides through outages and brownouts the way it would on utility power.
Models in the PFC Sinewave family
- CP1350PFCLCD: 1350VA / 810W tower. The volume seller. Mid-tower gaming PC + monitor + network gear. Eight outlets (four battery + surge, four surge-only).
- CP1500PFCLCD: 1500VA / 1000W tower. Extra headroom for a high-wattage gaming rig, dual monitors, or a desktop plus small server/NAS. Ten outlets (five battery + surge, five surge-only).
- CP1000PFCLCD: 1000VA / 600W tower. Right-sized for a single workstation plus monitor and modem.
- CP850PFCLCD: 850VA / 510W compact tower. Smaller home office and entry-level gaming.
Common deployment scenarios
- Gaming desktop with Active-PFC PSU: Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA, Be Quiet!, Thermaltake and most modern 80+ Gold/Platinum/Titanium units are all Active-PFC. A pure-sinewave UPS is mandatory; a CP1500AVRLCD will drop the PC the moment it transfers to battery.
- Mac Studio, Mac mini M-series, iMac: Apple desktop power supplies are Active-PFC. Match with CP1000PFCLCD or CP1350PFCLCD depending on peripherals (display, Thunderbolt dock, external storage).
- Home server / NAS: Synology DS-series, QNAP, custom TrueNAS / Unraid builds. The CP1350PFCLCD comfortably runs a 4-bay or 6-bay NAS plus a small network switch and modem with enough runtime for a graceful shutdown.
- Workstation rendering / CAD: high-wattage GPU + multi-monitor + Wacom + external storage. CP1500PFCLCD is the right pick.
- Small-business POS with modern receipt + payment terminal: CP1000PFCLCD or CP1350PFCLCD depending on terminal count.
Replacement batteries for the PFC Sinewave Series
Battery life on the PFC Sinewave line is typically three to five years for sealed lead-acid (longer in cool, low-load rooms; shorter in warm closets or under heavy discharge). The orange Replace Battery icon on the LCD is the clearest signal. We supply OEM-compatible replacement battery packs for every model in the family and ship across Canada with installation instructions, the battery compartment on the CP and CP-PFC units is front-accessible and most customers swap it themselves in under fifteen minutes.

Common PFC Sinewave issues
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Orange Replace Battery LCD icon | Battery end-of-life | Order matching CyberPower replacement battery cartridge |
| Runtime drops noticeably under same load | Battery degradation | Replace battery; recalibrate with PowerPanel |
| Repeated transfers to battery during normal day | Marginal mains voltage; AVR compensating | Check LCD voltage reading; consider electrician inspection |
| Unit beeps but PC stays on | Normal, on-battery alarm | Save work; let unit run down or restore mains |
