Hello Mitch, The estimated run time for the GX1500U unit at 200 watts is 31 minutes. The estimated time at 300 Watts is 19 minutes. A good estimation would put the run time within that range of 20-30 minutes, depending on what the PC is doing at the time. Thank you for your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'd say about ten minutes max before the battery runs down. This UPS is not designed for long power outage runs -- it is only a safety net to allow proper manual or automatic shutdown (like a computer system hooked into the UPS via its USB interface) when the power goes out. In my use case -- I have a NAS which is both powered and attached to the UPS via the USB interface. Once the UPS gets indication of a power outage -- it tells the NAS to shut down. If you need a UPS that can withstand a prolonged run under load -- you'll have to look at UPS units which are designed for industrial/corporate/business use.
