[SOLVED] Possible UPS Runtime

[Pillayer_One]

Hello
I would like to know how long a certain UPS could run a total load of 98W. The UPS link is as follows:

Thanks in advance.

If the manufacturer is accurate in the marking of the 850VA unit, then using the charts that APC has for their units, the answer would be somewhere around 35min.

Does that 98W include the monitor? What about the modem, router?

A system spec typically talks about the "box" and no monitor, after all these are usually not bundled, so u must add, all other components, but modem, routers can usually be ignored, or just add another 20 watts is safe.

I don't remember seeing consumer class UPS that uses external batteries, this way u simply add more batteries to extend your on time as needed.

Not knowing the quality of their inverter I guesstimated and calculated 15 minutes of runtime.
