I don't think it will. With that much of a load it may only last a few minutes if it is all plugged in. Also, not all of the plugs have battery backup connected, only one side. The company website has an interactive tool to show about how long each UPS would last with X device(s) connected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Definitely not. That is too heavy a current draw for too long. Without knowing your look load current, these UPSs are jntended to keep your system for something like 5 MINUTES, to let you save your work and not lose files. They also will get you through a power glitch and protect your requirement from surges.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will definitely not power that equipment for four to five hours. You will only get a few minutes, really just enough time to shutdown. UPS manufacturers usually have calculators on their website that allow you to select the type of devices you will be using and model UPS and it will estimate the runtime. Runtime comes down to the total watts of the connected devices which is the load and battery capacity. On average, most units sold for home use will only last 5-10 minutes at a 75% load.
