I run my TV and AVR on them, but not for the 'shutting down' purposes.

I am wanting something to keep my smart TV and an Xbox on in the event of an outage so I can properly shut them down. Will this be enough or is it overkill? Or should I look for something smaller?

I have a 650 as well that I passed over to the modem, router, and NAS when I upgraded the UPS to my PC. I think the 650 is 10 years old and still at least 2-4 hours of uptime when the power is out. ...

This! This has been the case basically forever and hasn't changed.
Edit: you shouldn't put space heaters on a UPS, either. I've seen melted plugs on UPS's before that people plugged space...

I would look at the total amp draw of the pump and make sure it doesn't need more than the unit can supply. Also, it's probably not a lot of runtime on this one.
