Best UPS Systems Devices for Current

i like the extended information available in terms of current load and back up run time based upon that load, battery status, etc.

the read-out is cool, especially the estimated run-time based on the current power draw.

these are my favorite units currently for keeping a few of our networked pc's and a server running until we can safely shut them down.

you can scroll through the screens and see various data, but the most useful for me is how much power i'm using and when the last power failure was, not to mention the quality of the current you're

they also include a lcd which can be used to monitor the unit, along with software which uses a usb interface to report current conditions of the line and equipment.

i like having the display that shows how much time is remaining given the current load.

other thoughts: the unit itself says that at the current load that it will run for 7 minutes, but it was a bit over 5 for my tests.

i currently have a total of 10 ups systems and two line conditioners in my home, which protect my most valuable computer, security and a/v equipment.

i had no idea my house receives a current higher than 120v in the evening until i started using this.

i found the apc h10 at b&h photo www.b&hphotovideo.com for an unbeatable price of $199 (retail is $349 and on here its currently $279) as of june 21 2007...shipping was $20 or so....

you have to reach over and hit the button to see what the current status is, and then it goes out in like a minute.

that's because with twice the source voltage, the battery current is half what it would be at 12v, meaning that the internal resistance and cell loading is much lower.

pros small size, view screen to show current voltage, amount of charge and how long it will last if power goes out.

the led display is really cool to see current draw, voltage, etc.

after spending several hours re-loading two pcs, i''m sold on having a ups and current backup images.

the cyberpower has a display that with each consecutive push of the button, tells you what the current load is, the voltage it receives from the wall outlet, the estimated run time, the total load

it gives you a graphical display of current load, battery capacity and voltage output.
