A:AnswerWhen power is running normally, it uses the house current which should be pure sine wave on every outlet on the back. When the power goes out, and the UPS battery activates, it runs only the stepped sine wave on the Battery + Surge outlets only, and the other surge only outlets will not have power during a power outage. So plug what you need to keep running on the battery + surge.
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. If you have the UPS is storage for longer than a few weeks I would recommend disconnecting the internal battery so the batteries don't deplete as fast. The battery will charge back when plugged back in. You just wouldn't want to leave the UPS unplugged for longer than 3 months.
A:AnswerI have an APC BACK-UPS PRO 1500VA/900 WATT. before replying to this I unplugged my backup to see how long I could run my desktop computer and the 24 inch TV I'm using for a monitor. It ran for an hour and 15 min down to 14 min left. The time on the backup was going down faster than actual time though, so I don't think it would have lasted another 14 minutes.
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately PowerChute would only work with one PC not the second one. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in our products. The unit would boost the voltage is it is 11.3% below the limit. The limit would be determined by the sensitivity set on the unit. At low sensitivity the range would be 78-142 V. At medium sensitivity the range would be 88-139 V. At high sensitivity it would be 88-136 V.
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in in our products. Yes this UPS would provide you a battery backup to your TV and DVD during a power outage. You would just want to make sure they don't draw more than 900 watts of power. Anything over that would overload the UPS.
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in our products. Yes it will work for your phone system given it draws less than 900 watts. The runtime would really depend on how much power the equipment draws. At full load (900 watts) the unit would provide 3 minutes of runtime. At half load (450 watts) it would get around 11 minutes of runtime. If the power draw is a lot less the runtime will be increased.
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately daisy chaining our UPSs would not provide more capacity. We also don't recommend daisy chaining the units together because the UPSs can become overloaded. For more information on why we don't recommend daisy chaining the UPS please check out the following link. https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA157424/
A:AnswerThank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately this unit has a straight end plug not a right angled plug. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
A:AnswerYes, I have 55 Inch LG TV, Sony receiver, Roku, Nintendo Switch, XBox 360, DirecTV box, and MAG254 box connected and still I can connect more devices, Baterry has been running for more than 3 years with NO problem
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. The runtime would depend on how much power the device draws. Usually the DVR systems pull around 200 watts of power which would provide you with 30 minutes of runtime. If the wattage is the lower than the UPS will provide more runtime.
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. The BN1500M2 could be placed in a garage given it is cooler and dry. If the garage is hot I wouldn't recommend placing it in it. Overly hot temperatures can cause the batteries to fail prematurely. The unit would support 900 watts of equipment connected to it so wouldn't go over this else you would overload the UPS. I wouldn't recommend plugging your water softener into the unit because I suspect it will overload the UPS.

A:AnswerDepends... if you are using the laptop it will pull varying amounts of watts. Probably last you a good hour or so of reasonable usage if that is all that is plugged in, but your results may vary based on multiple factors.
