You can connect more than one but the length of time without AC will shorten so if you need to connect more than one get one with the highest rating you can afford.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They can both be plugged up on same backup for better voltage regulating and extended life expectancy for devices, but for power outage, you're substantially eliminating total backup power with two major operating systems.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your inquiry. It would likely be only one computer connected to this UPS. This UPS only support 255 watts of equipment connected to it. Anything over that will overload the UPS. The additional outlets would be other equipment like a monitor.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As a general rule you should only have 1 computer on a UPS unless it is an extremely large unit that can provide network outage notifications (Thousands of dollar units.) Your PC will usually plug into the unit via a USB cable so that the PC can know that its running on battery and how much power is left and turn the PC off when the battery gets low. You can NOT plug 2 PC's into that USB cable and so you would have 1 PC shut off safely and the other would have power terminated abruptly.
