NO, if using for battery backup power supply. Rule of thumb for UPS is 1.6 times the watt load for ALL equipment plugged into the UPS battery backup side. Even though your computer is not likely using 850 watts all of the time (can only be determined by using an amp probe and converting to watts) you will have to back up at minimum the monitor also to be able to safely close all programs and properly shut down the computer and monitor. This may take several minutes or you could loose data &/or damage the protected equipment if you overload the UPS. If you want to be safe, but do not know the actual watts being used I'd suggest using the rated watts of all equipment plugged into the UPS battery side times 1.6. You should properly shut down that equipment when your home power is lost as a UPS is normally used to allow time for safe shut down, not to keep working with a computer for hours on battery backup power. These units battery power is also a simulated sine wave and I do not operate computers for any duration, just have the battery power to safely shut down my equipment. If you want to continue working you should look at an inverter generator that produces an actual true sine wave........a lot more costly option.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just because you have an 850 watt power supply does not mean your counter is drawing 850 watts. Sitting at idle while browsing the internet or typing a world document, you may be only using 200 watts. Even a modern AMD 5800X CPU and Nvidia RTX 3080 will not draw anywhere near 850 watts at max load. On other words, if you are gaming or doing intense rendering, it will probably exceed the 510 watt rating of this battery backup. But if you are doing office work, it will be fine and give you enough time to shutdown.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it is not, as the real Watt power of the UPS is considerably lower than the advertised 950VA. Please see the manual and find the real output in watts
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Murph, This product is intended to support devices up to 510w. Thank you for your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the PC wattage would be too high for this item.
