A:AnswerSince power is usually going out during a storm, I unplug my computer anyway. I use a UPS to keep it from getting electrical surges and to give me time to shut it down correctly if I'm tardy in doing that. Having said that, it depends on how much you have connected to it, but you need to think in terms of minutes, not hours. Maybe fifteen to twenty-five minutes. But again, that is my estimate, your mileage may vary. PS, you could always unplug from the wall and see :-).
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. The BVN650M1 unfortunately does not have an user replaceable battery. The replacement battery for the BN650M1 is the APCRBC154.
A:AnswerIt depends what is plugged into it. If you only have the monitor and computer plugged into it, then you should get about 15 to 20 minutes of run time. This is plenty of time to shut the computer down.
A:AnswerI have an APC NS-1500M2 with a 72 watt load and it will run for about 80 minutes. The NS-1500M2 model will handle a 445 watt load but, won't run for long.
A:AnswerIf the UPS continues to flash lights and beep, the UPS probable has an internal fault. I've had one UPS get zapped by a power surge. You will need to contact APC regarding this condition. If the UPS is running normally now and you can connect the UPS to a computer with the PowerChute application installed, you can check to see what the load on the UPS is. Another way is to unplug the UPS from the wall and see if it operates normally when it switches to battery. If it starts flashing lights and beeping you are probably overloading the UPS.
A:AnswerYes, the batteries will remain charged. How long you can run you computer depends on the size of the UPS and power demand of the PC. You should try it from a cold start to see how long your PC will run after it starts up. If you need internet access, that's another load you need to consider as you need to keep any modems and routers running as well. I use an APC NS-1500M2 backup on my PC and internet equipment. It will run for about 80 minutes drawing 72 watts.
A:AnswerThis is designed to be used for a temporary power supply if electricity goes off otherwise it is a surge protector that stays plugged in to the wall. It weights around 6 pounds.
A:AnswerI would not use this device for any sort of item with a heating element. Anything with a heating element is going to be pulling a significant amount of power through your device. Anything with a heating element should be plugged directly into the wall.
A:AnswerIt depends on how much power that item is drawing from the UPS.
This is from the website:
Half Load Maximum Run Time = 10 minutes
Full Load Maximum Run Time = 2.5 minutes
