Product Features
Technical Overview
This UPS delivers 36VA/36W of power capacity with flexible input voltage support for 120V or 230V AC systems. The unit converts incoming AC power to DC outputs of 9V, 12V, 15V, or 19V through four barrel connectors, accommodating most low-power devices directly. A 60Hz input frequency ensures compatibility with standard North American power infrastructure.
The internal power system utilizes two lithium-ion batteries with a 7.4V DC system voltage, providing 10.8 minutes of runtime at full load and extending to 30.4 minutes at half load. Status LEDs monitor output voltage levels, battery charge state, and abnormal conditions, while environmental specifications support operation up to 95°F (35°C) and storage between -4°F and 113°F.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Application/Usage, Load Capacity (VA), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
