Thank you for your inquiry. The size of the load attached to the UPS impacts the amount of runtime it can provide. With a 65 watt load attached, the BN1080G could run for 108 minutes. However, with a 325 watt load, the runtime decreases to 13 minutes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It all depends on what you are trying to use back up power on if you are using a gaming computer it will hold for about 7 minutes(big power supply to run big processors and video cards and such) if you let it sit idle without using power it will last the 16 hours it advertises charging a cell phone probably 121 minutes, along with alot of different variables involved such as how old is it, is the battery reaching the end of its life, things like that
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The maximum run time of 121 minutes would be at a minimum load on the unit. Your actual run time would depend upon the load you put on it. The APC web site shows a run time of 78 minutes with a load of 80 Watts and a run time of 64.5 minutes with a load of 100 Watts. Thus, the maximum run time of 121 minutes would only be possible with a load of around 50 Watts. As for the 16 hour figure; they may be saying that the battery can only handle so many deep discharges and recharge cycles. You would have to have APC clarify that . Perhaps their sales support team could answer that question @ 877-272-2722.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on what is plugged into it and the power consumption of the device. If you are running a computer/monitor/speakers I would guess 20minutes but it depends on what you are doing and what hardware is in the computer. The 120 minutes is if there is very little load on the unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Totally depends on how much you are trying to support. I have a lot on mine and it will let me shut it all down in an orderly fashion. I don't try to run during a complete outage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Tony, recommend going to the APC website, search for model number 1080G, there will be a link to a load versus runtime chart, should answer your question. Each of the UPS units has a different load vs runtime chart, depends on unit efficiency and number and type of battery. Note, you must do a search for this model as it is not listed in their list of products.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends on your setup and the amount of current you're drawing. If your computer is in sleep mode, it will last the 121 it states. If you are running a big time gaming rig, with water pumps and several graphics cards and HDs, it will probably be minutes. Nice thing about this back-ups is that the display will tell you the load and estimated run time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends on what you have plugged into it. The more the power drainage the less the backup time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.don't really know as I have mine programed to shut things down in 5 minutes and also it would depend on what all you have hooked to it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It all depends upon the lad the unit is handling. I run only a desktop computer and monitor to give me the maximum time.
