Thank you for your inquiry. This unit can be muted so you wouldn't have a beeping noise while it was on battery. Unfortunately you would not get that much runtime from this unit. Likely the power draw would be around 100 watts which would give you around 50 minutes of runtime from the unit. If the load is less then you will get more runtime from the unit. To get that much runtime from our UPSs you may want to look into our SmartUPS Extended run unit which can have additional battery packs connected to them. Please do not hesitate to reach out an APCbySchneider sales team if you need further assistance in choosing an UPS. We offer email and chat services through our support site and you may also contact us directly at 800-800-4272.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to work there from the power load, although six hours is a long time. You will probably want to size the UPS close to the load and then add extra battery units to extend the runtime. This would keep it as efficient as possible for what you are trying to do. A 1500VA UPS will give you 20-25 minutes of runtime with a load of 500 Watts. If you have something that will let you attach extra battery units, you could extend that to several hours. And this runtime chart from APC says that the 1000VA SMX1000 with FIVE battery units will get you to over six hours on a 500W load. https://www.apcguard.com/Runtime-Chart-for-Smart-UPS-XL.asp And you should be able to turn off the beeping on any smart UPS with management capabilities. (I do it at work when I am waiting for replacement batteries.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Backup pro 1100 va would do the trick. You can set alarms to silent as required. 6 hour criterion depends upon load (sounds minimal) and state of charge when backup activated.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are looking at a 6 hour or more run time, then you are going to need something with much larger battery storage capacity than a 1100 or 1500 rated UPC. Either that or a 1500 KVA rated UPS on each device might do it. Also, why do you need your DVR if your TV goes dead with the power going out? What good is any of it, if your TV is out and your computer is dead or laptop battery dies after two or three hours? Steve, you not thinking this thing through.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For that amount of time you would need a massive battery that would cost several thousand dollars. Your best bet would be to daisy chain several 1500va units together.
