A: Thank you for inquiry. The unit has a Surge energy rating of 3020 Joules.
Q: How long will the power remain on when the power goes out?
A: Dear Auto, The answer to your question depends upon what energy load (how many watts) is being supported by the UPS device. I believe that when you plug in the devices you want to protect, the readout on the screen will tell you how many minutes you can run the devices when the power fails. For instance, if you are protecting a typical desktop computer and monitor, you might get 6 to 10 minutes of run time. During that time you would want to save your work and then "gracefully" shut down your computer so you do not lose work or cause the computer to incorrectly shut down. The device is not meant to allow you to continue to run your computer for a long time after primary power has failed.
Q: It says it has 2 usb ports. Where are they located . I don't see them in the picture ?
A: On the top close to an end.
Q: Would this protect computers against brownouts?
A: For about 45 minutes only.
A: The box says the surge protector works for all the outlets, but the battery only works for 5 if you loose power.
Q: How many amps does this surge protector take?
A: Dear A. Nonny Mouse, The surge protector protects against energy surges, not a specific maximum ampere electrical current. The device protects against an energy spike of 1030 Joules. One Joul is the equivalent of one watt-second, or the energy of one ampere of current passing through one ohm of resistance for one second. I am sure I left you completely confused. A surge could be hundreds of volts for a fraction of a second which means for 1030 Joules, the current could be a few amps to hundreds or thousands of amps. Remember that in order to have current flow, one needs voltage forcing the current, just like water needs pressure to flow. Hope that helps.
