This is not a charger but s battery back-up in case of a power failure. This allows sufficient time for you to save what you are working on and then safely shut your computer down..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a uninterruptable power supply. (UPS). It is designed to plug a piece of electronic equipment like a computer for protection against power outages and voltage spikes or fluctuating voltages. It will let you turn of your equipment if the power goes out for a long time. It isn't a charger or a device to run something on for a very long time at all, It is for protecting sensitive electronic equipment like a high grade surge protector.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for inquiry. Unfortunately this would not work like a portable charger. The battery likely will not last enough to provide adequate runtime for the equipment you connect to it. The runtime would depend on how much equipment is connected to the UPS. For example, if the equipment draws 180 watts then you would get around 10 minutes of runtime. Usually these devices are designed to be connected to utility power and if there is a power outage then it will gracefully shutdown your computer if you have the USB cable connected to it. You may want to look into our portable battery packs that we have that work over the USB connection to charge the device.
