Keep electronics working and offer surge protection when the power goes out with this APC UPS device. Its USB port lets you monitor its operation via included software.
A: Thank you for your inquiry. This unit can be muted so you wouldn't have a beeping noise while it was on battery. Unfortunately you would not get that much runtime from this unit. Likely the power draw would be around 100 watts which would give you around 50 minutes of runtime from the unit. If the load is less then you will get more runtime from the unit. To get that much runtime from our UPSs you may want to look into our SmartUPS Extended run unit which can have additional battery packs connected to them.

Q: Can I use this as a power outage backup for my bipap machine for 8 hours?
A: Maybe. But that seems like a long time. You can find the load your machine draws and then calculate the supply you need.
Q: Does this function as a surge protector as well?
A: Yes, it does perform the job of a surge protector. That is one of the reasons I bought one.
Q: Can it be used as a battery back up for sump pump
A: Thank you for your interest in our products. The unit isn't really designed to provide a battery backup to a sump pump. Usually electrics like your PC and/or modem are connected to it. You would want to make sure the sump pump isn't going to overload the UPS as well. The UPS supports 600 watts of equipment connected to it so you would want to keep it under that.

A: Thank you for interest in our products. Usually our UPS are connected to home electronic equipment like your computer. It would really depend on how much power the chair draws. You would want to make sure that the chair pulls less than 600 watts of power so it doesn't overload the UPS. There is a chance that the chairs pull more than this depending on what type of motor is in them so if it is over that it would overload the UPS.
Q: How many outlets does it have?
A: 6 surge protected and battery back up outlets, 4 surge protection only outlets, One coax in/out, One ethernet in/out and a USB type A on the front as well as a USB type C on the front.
Q: Can u run a sump pump off the battery pack
A: Generally, smaller UPS units are not a good fit for that type of load. And, you want to make sure that you get a UPS that does a true sine wave output since the approximated sine wave output of this UPS would not work well with many non-computer loads. APC states: One potential issue is the inrush current draw for a motor. It can easily overload a Back-UPS UPS model. Secondly, these models of UPSs output a stepped approximated sine wave when on battery. This waveshape, while ideal for computer type equipment, is not particularly compatible with most motor loads. The result may be that motors run very slowly, erratically, or not at all when the UPS is on battery. My general rule is that you want to get a UPS with the right type of output and generally at least 2X the running load of the motor to be safe. One sump pump that I just looked at was 120V with a 9.7A running draw, which is 1,164W, so I would say at least 2500VA so that it can handle the startup load. And a 3000VA UPS will only give you 15 minutes with a 1200W load on it. Extra battery units would give you around 30 minutes more each.

A: for a TV you have like 20 minutes of battery. The less power the TV pulls the more battery you will have.
