It just means it is not an actual sine wave, but an approximation; like almost every UPS sold. A few are real sine wave, but they are expensive. Unless you plan on running a motor off it, it doesn't matter. The other poster was just being silly.

Picked one up. I did buy a BE850G2 for $86 2 weeks ago but it doesn't have a display at all and this is slightly larger battery. Definitely worth the $12 to me.

Quote from GregryS View quoted comment :
It really matters if you run a compressor; say on a refrigerator... The stepped wave causes this small compressor to lug. A pure sine wave will not cause a compressor to lug. So if you have a window air conditioning unit as well I would run a pure sine wave on it as well.

I don't use mine as a battery backup except on my router modem VOIP system-these UPSs are more for power conditioning and I would worry more about voltage drops than the step wave versus sine wave. For the same price if you look cyberpower sells a good sine wave UPS
What about PS5 and AV receiver? Is it ok to use simulated sine waves on them?

No one's going to be running an A/C or refrigerator off of a 1000VA battery backup. Not only would it only last a few minutes, the compressor starting up would be too much amperage and it would cut out immediately. Sine wave used to be important for PC power supplies a couple decades ago. Power supplies are built much better nowadays and aren't effected by simulated sine wave. The only things someone might need a pure sine wave UPS for these days are sensitive medical equipment, like CPAP machines, etc. The audiophile community likes to spend money on pure sine wave UPS's and power conditioners, but they've been proven redundant many times, as any decent amplifier already has power conditioning built-in.

The answer is a somewhat annoying "it depends," but generally speaking, yeah, it should be totally fine for any modern desktop computer power supply. No power supply provides AC mains power to the parts; they convert it converts it to DC. In so doing, they have systems for power filtration built in, because the power coming from the grid is never (okay, rarely) 100% perfect.

The primary drawbacks in reality are that the PSU may run less efficiently and generate somewhat more heat. However, in a situation where you'd want a relatively low-capacity UPS like this, it's probably to have time to save your work and shut down or you expect the power will come back in <5min, in which case the efficiency loss is likely to make a big difference.

In other words: I'd be more worried about a power surge or sudden loss of power causing damage to your computer than I would be about a simulated sine wave.

That said: this does not extend to all devices! If you're thinking of putting HiFi audio equipment, machinery, medical devices, or, like, a PDP-11 behind a simulated sine wave UPS: don't.

The PS5 should be fine. If you're talking, like, a modern digital AV receiver, that should also be fine. If it's an old school AV receiver, I personally would stick to just using a surge protector rather than a simulated sine wave UPS.

Computers are what these are designed for. This will work for all electronics. Be advised they put cheap batteries in these things so expect to replace the battery in 2 - 3 years.

Thanks, OP. Repped. In for one and used $30 worth of rewards from the Duracell 100% rewards battery deal to make this ~$74 OTD.
