QuestionWill this unit work behind a whole house generator and will it hold power to a desktop or roputer until the generator comes online9 Approx. 15 sec.)?
Asked 7 years ago by Goochy.
- Answer Yes. It will provide power when the main power goes out giving you an opportunity to shut down your computer, or in your case, power the computer until the secondary power source turns on. That's the main purpose for these small UPCs.

QuestionI see in the specs that this UPS is "UL listed". Can someone confirm that this unit has the UL mark on the nameplate? It has been my experience that just because the specs say that it is "UL listed" or "UL Compliant" that does not mean it is UL marked.
Asked 8 years ago by endorsey.
- Answer The UPS does not have a "UL" mark on it. It does have a "TÜV" mark. The NRTL does not require "UL", it only requires some type of certification. "UL" is not the only testing lab that is certified with the NRTL. "TÜV" is also certified by the NRTL.

QuestionWhat is the joule specification? According to the box, a 10 watt device will run 2.3 hours, or equivalently, 20.3 watt*hours. As 1 watt*hour is 1600 joules, it isn't clear what the joule specification means, as it is substantially lower than calculated?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Thank you for inquiry. The joule rating is the surge protection rating on the unit. This unit would have a 180-joule rating. The 2.3 hours the unit references on the box is referring to the runtime that the unit would provide if the UPS were to go to battery. It would not affect the joule rating of the UPS.

QuestionWill this work as a backup for an aquarium pump? How long might it last?
Asked 8 years ago by lsl.
- Answer It will work for you. The only problem with UPS's is the initial surge (as in a refrigerator or laser printer). Constant power is no problem. I would estimate a 20 minute period with no power that would be covered by this unit.

QuestionWill this accept a Model Ps-1270 F1 battery as a replacement battery? What battery models will it accept as a replacement?
Asked 8 years ago by Candice.
- Answer According to the manufacturer, the battery is not user replaceable. I haven't opened it up and probably won't. I only paid $40 on sale, not that much more than just a battery might cost. If I have to replace the whole thing when the battery dies, I'm okay with that as long as it isn't in the first 2-3 years.

QuestionWhat is the inrush current on this device? Will it lower the inrush current my PC power supply unit draws from the wall-circuit breaker on turn on? PC pwr supply unit has inrush current of 46amp and keeps tripping the 15 amp breaker.
Asked 9 years ago by Nic.
- Answer This unit will send the inrush through to the circuit. At that point, the breaker will trip but the APC will remain on allowing the pc to power on. I would recommend buying a larger APC that specifies the allowable inrush. Then you could unplug the APC from the wall to allow the PC to use the power from the APC to power on , then plug the APC back in to the outlet on the wall. Hope that helps.

QuestionWhat is the Ampere Hour rating of this device ? I can use AH, VAH or WH.
Asked 7 years ago by Bijoy.
- Answer This one is 450 VA. The unit like this one that powers more devices is an 850VA model. My back up plan calls for these uninterrupted power supplies to provide shorter protection and to avoid re-booting and reprogramming issues that come up during power failures and brownouts. So far, so good.
