“Runtime” refers to the total amount of time the UPS can power your device during an outage—regardless of whether the device is actively in use or just in standby. So in the example you mentioned, the 51 minutes of runtime means the UPS kept the router powered for 51 minutes continuously, whether or not someone was making a phone call. For your Xfinity Voice router, that runtime would cover both standby and active use, as long as the power draw stays consistent. Keep in mind that actual runtime can vary depending on the router’s power consumption and battery age. I have a heavier load than most people, with two routers, a cable modem, and an 8-port switch. Even so, the APC BE600M1 UPS keeps my network running through outages lasting up to two hours for me. As the battery ages, that up time will drop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.UPS Runtime is the length of time that the UPS can support its load/devices while running on battery power during a power outage. The runtime will be determined by the power consumption of the connected load/devices to the Battery+Surge outlets and health/age of the battery. A runtime graph/chart is available on APC site - https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/BE600M1/apc-backups-600va-120v-1-usb-charging-port-7-nema-outlets-2-surge/.
