Just plug devices you want on battery backup into the outlets marked battery + surge. there are also surge only outlets.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe that is the maximum volt amperage the battery can put out to what you have plugged into the battery outlets.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It works much like the battery in a laptop or cell phone when you disconnect it from power. When a UPS unit loses power, it switches to the battery in the UPS to power what is plugged into the outlets that are connected to the battery. You heard that correctly. With this UPS and most others, not all the outlets will provide battery power, but which ones do and don't are clearly marked. Another way UPS units differ is that many come with computer software and a way to connect a computer to switch the computer off if you lose power so you can have your computer properly shut down. You don't have to use this if you don't want to; it really depends on what you do with your computer for as to whether you need to use this feature. Most modern computers aren't as affected by sudden power loss as they once were. However, if you lose power a lot, you may still want to use this feature. Of course, you don't have to use this with a computer at all. You can plug in anything you want to have power for a limited time: network, TV, radio, lights, cell phone, etc. You probably won't get much longer use of the battery than quote by the company, but it can be useful for short term power like giving your cell phone a little extra power or a little light to get ready for bed. The use of a UPS is limited to what you plug into it and the load you plug into it. I would limit what you plug into it to common household appliances like those mentioned above. High load appliances such as refrigerators, AC units, heaters, etc. could cause disastrous problems, so you shouldn't plug these things into a UPS or even a common power strip.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device is nothing more than a battery that monitors the power supply and in the case of a brown or black out, the battery will take over. This allows PCs or other devices to continue operate during the power outage. The amount of time devices will continue function is completely dependent upon the load of what is plugged in and the size of the UPS (uninterruptable power supply). Most manufactures, such as APC have power calculators to help consumers figure this out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for reaching to us. The battery back up would provide power for the equipment connected to the battery outlets on the unit. They will be labeled which ones are battery plus surge protection and only surge protection. If you were to have a power outage the unit would provide some runtime to give you enough time to power down your computer.
