I just got this unit and set up the PPP software. The version I downloaded was 2.6.1. When I tried to open the file to start, the computer started spinning around and then nothing happened. I reached out to support who suggested using the business version 4.12.0 and after uninstalling the old one, I reinstalled this version but it still wouldn’t start. I rebooted after each installation...still the same issue. Support isn’t helping me :-((
Is your setup running on a Windows or Linux environment?
The CyberPower ST625U uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system offers battery backup and surge protection against lightning-induced surges and other power disturbances that may harm electronic devices. This device ensures sufficient battery backup to keep connected electronics operational via utility power...

Windows 10 Pro these machines have restricted storage, which means most applications are placed on the D drive, so I believe it wouldn't cause any issues. Lack of space on C:
I see your point, but I believe putting the software in would verify the unit functions correctly, so during a storm surge I wouldn't face another loss. It feels uncertain whether it's reliable.
I should also mention that after installing the software, my hard drive was experiencing heavy activity. This doesn't align with the expectation that the software should only communicate with the UPS. It looked like data was being pulled from my PC.
The UPS doesn't offer much intelligence. Most of what we see is about battery size—how full it is and how much remains. Windows' power settings handle this automatically, shutting down the device once the battery reaches a set limit.
Yes, it is rechargeable. When the AC power fails, the battery takes over powering connected devices. It will keep discharging until power is restored or it reaches a low enough level to automatically shut down your PC (through Windows power management).
Is this your initial experience with an UPS?
I had an APC in the past, an electrical surge damaged it permanently. It never worked again. It didn’t protect my PC or modem at that time. No other devices were connected. Recently, during a storm, it also failed to protect my modem, PC, and Roku. I bought this new one just to avoid another problem. I’m unsure if it will handle another surge. The device manager under batteries shows the cyber power battery backup, though.
Considered an UPS as a rechargeable unit with an integrated surge suppressor.
Battery performance declines gradually and requires replacement, which applies to all UPS models.
Surge protection effectiveness depends on proper grounding, and this might have played a role in your earlier APC failure.
Are all connected devices using the power outlets on your present UPS? If yes, that’s excessive.
For instance, on my single PC linked to a similar UPS, only that PC is plugged into the UPS power ports—no display or other components. The non-powered outlets remain free of connection. That specific PC will shut down automatically when the battery reaches 10%.
