Good price, but simulated sine wave for those who care about such things.

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly does that mean if I just need it to back up my computer and monitor/peripherals?

So, I'm pretty limited in my electronics knowledge, therefore the below may not be entirely accurate, but as for my understanding of it..

tl;dr: Your monitors, router, etc. won't care about simulated vs. pure sine wave, but your computer's power supply might.

Longer explanation - electronics experts, please do correct any inaccuracies in this because I do want to fully understand it, but right now am just confident enough to potentially be completely misunderstanding things.

AC power comes in alternating waves of highs and lows. Typical power runs in a sine wave (even up, then down, then up, then down) patterns. Pure sine wave battery backups will also generate this same up, down, up, down pattern at precise intervals.

A device that is simulated sine wave will approximate this pattern, but it won't be as precise. This is a far cheaper alternative for devices that don't really care about sine waves.

The issue comes in with a PFC power supply like most computers have. The power protection circuits on the power supply will not always like the simulated sine wave output from a non pure sine wave device, and if that circuit is tripped in the power supply, your PC will power off to attempt to protect your PCs internal parts from being fried. This is typically a good thing since if you weren't using a UPS, a non sine pattern could indicate a short, surge, or other power fault that could very well fry your PCs components.

Now, the real caveat here, is that it is kind of up in the air whether your PC's specific power supply will be sensitive enough to care about the differences this UPS will produce. Some will, and some will not.. From my experience it isn't even always consistent between power supplies of the same model.

Great topic:
As I understand, batteries (charged by the grid) will emit a pure sin wave i.e. "cleaner"and safer for electronics and appliances due to minimal fluctuations in amps or voltage. However, it seems @greyson76 is implying that perhaps this is simply simply a pass-through device that will not use the batterys properties but only use battery power in the event of a power outage.
I would love to hear more about this topic from anyone whom is in the biz or has knowledge.

I chose this UPS versus the much more expensive APC gaming UPS. This one just had less scarier extreme reviews. I have had for a couple of months and it seems ok. I have a Dell Alienware desktop with 1000 watt PSU and I have not had any issues yet. Only the desktop and monitor are plugged into the battery backup portion and all other accessories are plugged into surge only. Same price with coupon before.

That was a good explanation. Chances are your computer will be fine with simulated. It was a much bigger deal in the past, but both power supply and UPS technology has improved. It's a little more important for medical and scientific equipment, but you're probably not trying to run a lab off this. Smilie Personally I buy pure sine wave just for the peace of mind.

Got 2. One backs up my router and wireless and second one for the laptop. Gives me a good 4hrs + of internet and 3+ hours on the labtop.

UPSs pass through the pure sine wave from the utility company when the power is on. When the power is off and the UPS is providing power from its battery, it has to produce its own sine wave that matches the utility company's. This UPS "simulates" it (it's more like a set of steps than a curve, which is cheaper to do). Other UPSs produce a sine wave identical to the utility company using an AC-DC-AC conversion process, but that requires extra circuitry and increases the cost.

Regardless it's pure or simulated sine wave, all these UPS at this price range, pure sine wave at $200+, is a pass-thru device with some voltage regulation to correct minor fluctuation of the main power. The battery kicks in only during outage and then the wave form matters.... which doesn't really matter for most devices.

Not really a deal, it comes up everytime there is a staple coupon.
A pure sine wave UPS at $130 will be hot which hasn't happened for over a year.

If you sign up for their email and texts, you'll get a $15 off $60+ coupon. The code didn't work for me on this purchase (it said I still needed $35.95 in eligible purchases... wtf?), but I used the chat to get help and they took the $15 off for me Wink

Thanks to all that replied, that was very helpful. Going to check Microcenter too for any deals as well if not I might just buy this one and try it out.
