    A UPS is not about keeping items running in power outages, but about protecting valuable electronics that could possibly be damaged from sudden loss of power (e.g. computers). It is to give you time to properly shut it down.

    Wow! That's what I was looking for, thanks. I live in a village where the power cuts happen randomly from time to time or during a rainstorms. For now I use a laptop so it's not a big problem but I'm planning to buy a PC and the power cuts were my top 1 concern. Thanks again that was really helpful.

    It doesn't deliver what they say. You did not verify and did not show how long your devices staied on. Three years ago I bought a first one that cost me over $350 just to juce up my Router and my personal cloud and could not even give me one hour when they pretended hours with more than my two devices. I thought the battery was calcified so I went for an exainge but got the same resulte. So, if a $350 battery backup can't do the job for only two devices that consume so little, It is not worth it to buy them unless you are willing to put thousands of dollars for having few more devices to run for a short period of time. I would advise to modify in the way that you can replace the original battery for a bigger one. And I don't know where you are located, but here, we have power outage once and a while. It happen when bad wheater mostely like period of ice or maybe a tired transfo down the street devide that was ennough.

    These things only last a few minutes as a general rule (depends on the usage) so they are good for powering off gracefully (saving work) not to continue working (or playing). They're also good if you're in a location with power bleeps (like flicking lights) due to a poor power grid.

    So I got one of these for free and I didn’t know that it was a battery back up
    I just connected directly to the wall and connect to my stuff like my TV and my Internet router
    Once in a while, it will completely turn off, even though there’s power and electricity still running through my whole apartment

      It depends on the amount of power the components plugged into the battery needs. LIke a computer on idle will use less watts than a computer that is gaming. So doing so wouldn't show anything as it depends on workloads.

    Hey everyone. if I were you and had a little extra money, I would get a solar generator and a solar panel because you can keep recharging that as long as you have sun even work to go out for a few days. If you buy a smaller one, you could just keep a couple of cell phones charged but they have bigger units that could power a refrigerator for a couple of hours, depending on its size. They have huge units that do more than that but they’re pretty expensive.. there were a bunch of deals on Amazon during prime day and they are getting cheaper all the time. I now have three different brands to include Jackery, Bluetti, And Echoflow. I just bought the echo flow Delta Pro refurbished on eBay for $1600 delivered and then I bought a 300 W folding solar panel for $300 on sale to give you an idea.. I can run appliances with this for hours and if I were in a long duration power outage, I could actually live fairly comfortably for days without any problem

    • @XAirForce
      @XAirForce 8 днів тому

      You need at least 1800 W to run many appliances and they have a surge that goes above that for a few seconds because of their motors,, then the bigger the battery is the longer you can run your items.

      The LCD screen provides estimated runtimes based on the power required by connected devices during power outages. This UPS is estimated to run for 7.9 minutes at half load, 2.3 minutes for a full load.
