Peace of Mind!

I have several of these units. It is nice to know that my computers will not just shut down when the power goes out, which happens quite often here in the boondocks of Kentucky! The power supply allows me to shut the computers down manually, without creating drive errors or other problems. They are powerful enough to support the computers which are in sleep mode, until a short power outage ends.

This is a great product

I like that all of my computers can access the drive, so it cuts WAY down on using a thumb drive to move files from one computer to another. The software is simple to install, and the drive is just a click away.

A good choice

I like the extra length. It allows me to plug in a phone charger near the bed, and lay the phone onto a nightstand or on the bed itself. When I use the phone, the cord is long enough so that I am not required to unplug it or contort myself to reach it, which a shorter cord would require.

What is considered a full load for this unit?
Is a full load calculated in watts or volts? If watts, how many watts constitutes a full load, or if calculated in volts, how many volts constitutes a full load?
The APC battery backup is rated in WATTS.

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.
