“What size UPS do I need to power a 120VAC, 2A power supply for 10 hours?”

• Thank you for your inquiry. A 2A, 120V load on the Smart-Ups C 1500 will provide about 40 minutes of runtime. For a longer back up time you may need to go with an extended run UPS.

• You are handing this from the opposite end, but you can do some math to figure out the wattage. 2amps x 120v = 240watts. You can find ratings based on wattage. I would say ten hours is a substantial amount of time to keep a computer alive but you could always invest in a large battery array - it's what server facilities use. Hope that helps.
