Dear Auto, The answer to your question depends upon what energy load (how many watts) is being supported by the UPS device. I believe that when you plug in the devices you want to protect, the readout on the screen will tell you how many minutes you can run the devices when the power fails. For instance, if you are protecting a typical desktop computer and monitor, you might get 6 to 10 minutes of run time. During that time you would want to save your work and then "gracefully" shut down your computer so you do not lose work or cause the computer to incorrectly shut down. The device is not meant to allow you to continue to run your computer for a long time after primary power has failed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.THE UPS SAYS ABOUT 18 MINUTES WITH MY CURRENT LOAD OF OVER 400 WATTS
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on how much draw is pulling from it. For example, my computer, monitor and modem, router and home security cameras are on mine and it says it will go for anywhere from 120-200 minutes without power. (it changes as you are on it) Quite impressive considering how much I have powered by it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately once the power goes out the surge protector will power off as well. This unit does not have a battery inside it. If you need an UPS you may want to check out our BackUPS or BackUPS Pro lines.
