APC 2200VA (BVX2200LI) Easy UPS

APC 2200VA (BVX2200LI)

The APC 2200VA (BVX2200LI) delivers cost-effective power protection in a compact tower design. This entry-level 2200VA/1200W model provides essential backup power with Automatic Voltage Regulation for home electronics, small business equipment, and entry-level servers.

Essential Power Protection

The BVX2200LI offers practical features for basic power needs:

• Line-interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
• Stepped approximation to a sinewave output
• 6 IEC 320 C13 outlets for connecting multiple devices
• Fast transfer time of just 6ms typical (10ms maximum)
• Graph display for visual status monitoring
• Wide input voltage range from 140V to 300V

Furthermore, the BVX2200LI provides a substantial maximum runtime of 240 minutes at lower loads, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring extended backup time during power outages. At half load (600W), it offers 8 minutes and 30 seconds of runtime, while at full load (1200W), it provides 1 minute of backup time.

Practical Design Features

The BVX2200LI comes in a user-friendly, compact package:

• Space-efficient tower form factor (19 × 14 × 39 cm)
• Lightweight design at just 12.2 kg
• Floor mounting support
• Intuitive status indicators
• IEC 60320 C20 input connection
• Black housing that blends into office environments

Additionally, the unit features a low acoustic noise level of only 40 dBA, making it suitable for quiet work environments where noise disruption needs to be minimized.

Battery Performance

The BVX2200LI incorporates a reliable battery system:

• 24V lead-acid battery with 9.0 Ah capacity
• 2-3 year typical battery life expectancy
• User-replaceable battery design (APCRBC177)
• 8-hour battery recharge time for full recovery after discharge

The user-replaceable battery feature ensures that maintenance is straightforward, extending the overall lifespan of the UPS while reducing total cost of ownership.

Environmental Considerations

The BVX2200LI is designed with sustainability in mind:

• Fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive (no exemptions needed)
• REACh Declaration compliance
• China RoHS declaration compliance
• User-replaceable battery extending product lifecycle
• Part of Schneider Electric’s “Use Better, Use Longer, Use Again” initiative

Equipment Protection

The BVX2200LI includes APC’s equipment protection policy:

• Lifetime protection of up to 50,000 euros for connected equipment
• Surge energy rating of 273 joules
• IP20 protection rating against physical intrusion
• Operating temperature range of 0-40°C
• Humidity tolerance of 0-95% non-condensing

Ideal Users for the APC BVX2200LI

This UPS solution is particularly well-suited for:

• Small business owners – The 1200W/2200VA capacity provides adequate power protection for essential equipment like desktop computers, POS systems, and networking devices in small retail or office environments.
• Home office users with multiple devices – With six IEC outlets and line-interactive topology with AVR, the BVX2200LI can protect several pieces of equipment simultaneously, from computers to peripherals.
