narrator voice: it wasnt a good one. i am returning it. The batteries in it are already toast and cant hold a charge. Waiting for amazon to pick it back up for the return, will get the APC 1100W which should be better. Same price. Or i wont get a UPS. Seems like the electric supply folks are...

i am a tea kinda guy. My family has been getting their tea from a specific estate since god knows how long. I still ship the same tea 2000km to my current city lol.

i dont like coffee a lot but i do like cold coffee, i get some ready made coffee powder from decent brands that cost okayish, pour them in some milk, add ice, some cream and whip them up in my mixer (food processor for international folks). Makes very good cold coffee, if you want just add some...

metal pegs are not good for our climates. you leave them up on the clothesline in the sun long enough and it becomes the hottest thing on earth!

Last tine i checked, products can come from different manufacturers and all things are not created the same. Hence. For my max load of 550W, yes a 1100VA would have been sufficient, but it comes with 2x 12V 7.2aH battery. I didnt go for the 1500VA one because you said so, its because i checked...

i guess asians will be asians. Even at my home we use clothes pegs for the exact same reasons. Un finished pack of crisps? peg.

Yeah, i just pointed him out. He doesnt seem to grasp the difference between power and energy.

i live 10 stories up in a sky scraper. Not gonna happen lol. First of all wattage is not energy. 900W does not equate the amount of energy stored in batteries. i did calculations myself taking into account the inverter is 15% efficient, and my psu is 80% efficient. the same calculation you...

looks like you got ASS-us'd RMA that ASAP! Dont show them this picture (taken apart).

i honestly wouldnt worry about a backup. if it goes up in flames just buy whatever is available at that time. why spend money on it "if" it happens, which isnt all that common these days. I hope its not one of "those" gigabyte PSUs

@Bill_Bright i only have my PC connected. the case consumes a total of 420W at peak, factoring in efficiency of the power supply, lets say its 500W. Add my monitor, which is peak 30W but i use only 20% brightness, so lets say 20W, being reasonable. I have a speaker with sub, which is 80W total...

So... I let the UPS charge overnight, all day, tested it after i got back from work with stress test. Lasted only 5min. This is supposed to have 2x 12V 9aH batteries. Something is of? as per my calculation i should get atleast 15minutes?

the inverter doesnt work and the owner doesnt want to fix it :(. hence the UPS. The power cuts here arent bad. it goes of frandomly for 5min or so. i am gettingmoer than 45 mins on work load, gaming load yet to be tested is there any software or tool that they support to check ? i mean for...

rebrand is fine, i just hope they arent recycling used chips from used SSDs that have life left in them.

Soooo.. with just some youtube videos playing in the background and with some casual amazon web browsing, its been 20minutes now... still working :D Not bad for now. EDIT 30 mins
