All of my computers are plugged into these UPS units. I own many of them and they all help to prevent electrical damage during power spikes. I would not run a computer without pluggung it into a UPS unit.

If you work with graphics, line art, .dxf files and such, this is a must-have tool. Working with a pen is far more natural than trying to move a mouse around. It is a great addition for anyone who works with graphics.

I bought two of these, to use as video monitors for two DJI Phantom 4 drones. They both work as well as you would expect. They are small and light, and easy to operate. You can't go wrong by purchasing an iPad Air2

Nice, but not for the Q500

I bought these goggles because I own a Q500 drone, but alas, the controller does not have an HD output. These goggles are for the newer SIX prop drone by Yuneec. I will either use them for other purposes, or sell them virtually unused, except for a quick test.

Short cords are a real pain when you want to use a device like your iPhone or iPad in a vehicle. With six feet of cord, you can move freely without the cord tugging at the device. I keep a few of these in my truck!

You can probably download it from the APC website in .PDF format.

warranty and equipment protection policy

The description says it covers $150,000 of replacing equipment that is plugged into this UPS. Does that include a $36,000 long-arm quilting machine?
You would have to ask the manufacturer about that. I believe it ONLY covers your computer equipment, but if the computer that runs your quilting machine is plugged into the APC, then I imagine it would! Call the manufacturer. Ask THEM!

I have 1 desktop computer and an iPad,lots of pics and lots of music. What back up system would you recommend ?

Nick, the APC unit is not a generator. It is only a power BUFFER that provides a few minutes of power in the event your utility power goes out. it is meant to allow you to properly SHUT DOWN your computer ONLY.

How many hours can run this backup battery without power

This unit will run a normal computer, LCD or LED monitor, your router and/or modem for a few MINUTES, but it is not a generator. It is only to be used to give you enough reserve power to properly SHUT DOWN your computer in the event of a power outage.

The load is rated in WATTS.

Use the APC unit for your PC, your monitor and your router and/or modem. When the power goes out, it will not affect your computer, if your external accessories like your desktop speakers, printer, scanner, webcam, etc. suddenly stop working. The purpose for this APC unit is to allow you to properly and quickly SHUT DOWN your computer in the event of a power outage.

This is not intended to RUN your computer. The purpose of a battery backup is for when your utility power suddenly goes out. Instead of your computer suddenly shutting down, perhaps while writing a file to the hard drive (which would cause drive errors), the APC unit gives you a few MINUTES of power to PROPERLY shut down your computer, by closing files and programs, and doing a proper SHUT DOWN. That is the ONLY purpose for this APC unit.
