A:AnswerHello Unsure, the SX950U is a standby battery backup; as such, it does not offer AVR functionality. If this is a feature you value, look for mentions of AVR or a Line-Interactive Topology in the UPS description.
A:AnswerOnly the battery side work, which is the way it is designed. The battery side guards against surges, AND will bridge the power outage, if short, or give you time to shut down if it is one of a longer duration. You can also use software with a computer to get it to automatically shut down your computer if it is on and unattended. The battery side will also kick in to correct Voltages below about 96V and above 140V, keeping it more steady.
The surge protection side only guards against surges and sags, I'm guessing either cutting off the power to keep your equipment from being damaged, OR leveling out the power.
A:AnswerThank you for your question! Please note that this unit is not compatible with life support or medical applications, including CPAP machines and sleep apnea machines. Connecting any medical devices, such as a sleep apnea machine, will void the warranty. We recommend exploring alternative options for your dad’s sleep apnea needs.
A:AnswerYou can do two things--since you'll have to disassemble it anyway, take it apart and when you find out what kind it has, google it. Replacements can be had on numerous sits, small ones like Batterymart, and huges ones like Amazon. Make sure contacts match (F1, F2) and measure the dimensions to assure it'll fit, as they are snug.
Over the last 20 years I've found luck replacing them once or twice, but I've had a couple that developed another problem. I've got one I gave up on, and another I'm in the middle of working on, and two relatively new batteries, and a new cheap charger to make sure the batteries are good.
If you're not handy or money is no object I guess move on. But they go bad every 3-5 years so with batteries being around $30 to buy and ship, you'll save a good bit of money, even though it can be hit or miss. Just be careful, assure it's unplugged, and put it back together the way it came apart. Watch for on/off switches because sometimes they're just held in position by their placement, so they can be a little tricky.
A:AnswerI don't believe so. The datasheet says "simulated sine wave" which is typically just an approximation. Pure sine UPSes also usually cost a lot more than this
A:AnswerDepending on how much electricity the chair uses, I'd expect to get one or two full reclines/declines from the chair before the UPS battery is drained.
For perspective, a computer using 300 watts will run for about five minutes on the battery power of this UPS.
A:AnswerHello, Unfortunately this product cannot be used with aquarium or water accessories. Doing so may damage the product and void the warranty terms and guidelines.
A:AnswerHello, UPS units are not meant for use with appliances and would void the warranty. Plugging a appliance or utility in would likely overload the unit. Thank you for submitting your question!
A:AnswerYes, the battery backup is designed to keep power output going in the event of an outage to ensure you can properly and safely shut down the connected equipment. Thank you for your question!
