450 watts for 1.5 hours. So this is like equivalent to a 675wh battery?

I am confused at how to measure these UPS batteries.

On the 850 VA unit, it can do 450 watts for 1.5 hours. Shouldn't the 425 VA be able to do half of that? It can only do 255 watts for 2.6 minutes?

Edit: On Amazon website, it shows for the 850va unit, 32 minutes at 100 watts.

On the APC product page there is a calculator. You enter the watts of your setup.

Looks like a typo:

For about 1.5 hours, that'd be at minimum load...

They're really go out of their way to try to hide that this is not pure sine wave

If you don't see pure sine wave mentioned right at the top, just assume it's not. Or, look the price - they're never cheap.

i'm not sure about the larger ones, but this small one does not have the usb communication port. That really makes the only use for this as a backup for your homes modem/router. Any computer/server needs the communication port and the software to run a clean shutdown.

$124. For less than that price, you can get the compact tower version with LCD screen from Lenovo
