back up battery for tv i have a new 55" smart tv - & directv box - looking to protect

Question

Drew,
Thank you for your inquiry.

The unit you are looking at is rated at 700VA. In order to properly back up equipment without overloading the unit you need to stay below the VA and wattage values of the UPS. If you compare these wattage/Va values to the wattage/VA of your equipment, you will need the equipment to be lower than the UPS quantities.

If this all works out like that then you are purchasing the correct unit.

Thank You,

I use this for my 60" led plus my directv box and my soundbar. I haven't had any issues.

Go for it.. Will do the job, just don't expect any real life span with no power. Much better than a surge protector IMO

I have an older model supporting my 40" hdtv along with a blu-ray player and my DVR. This is an older model, but it has been working for about 5 years with no problems.

I would recommend the APC 700v - this battery backup is the bomb. It runs numerous things in our home and does not skip a beat. I even have one on my teenagers tv.

I use my battery back up for my computer to keep it running during power outages so I don't loose anything I am working on. I would say to get a powerful surge protector for a tv because you don't want to keep you TV running on a back up battery because I think it would drain to quickly

Yes, this will provide surge protection, but it will NOT provide any significant viewing time during a power outage.
