“Why does Best Buy state a Run time of 5.9 hours and in the specifications 354 minutes full load? As no other UPS similar/greater came close I Almost bought 5 before checking APC site to find out actually up to 2 minutes full & up to 10 minutes half load.”

• 5.9 hours is crazy, and no consumer UPS could possibly run even an hour. Don't ever load a UPS over half its rating so you have time to shut down a PC or server. It gets even worse as the batteries get old.

• Always by twice as much as you think you need. Ask yourself why are you buying the UPS? And go from there.
