User Manual
FAQ
What is the power capacity of the BC850R UPS?
The BC850R provides 850VA (volt-amps) and 450W (watts) of backup power capacity. This rating determines the total load it can support during an outage, suitable for protecting point-of-sale systems, network equipment, desktop computers, and peripherals. The output power factor is 0.53, indicating the relationship between VA and wattage for connected devices.
How long does the battery last during a power outage?
At full load (450W), the battery runtime is 2.5 minutes, which allows time for safe shutdown of connected equipment. At half load (225W), the runtime extends to 8 minutes, providing longer continuity for lighter loads. After use, the battery typically recharges within 8 hours when connected to AC power.
How many devices can I connect to this UPS?
The UPS includes five NEMA 5-15R outlets, allowing you to connect up to five devices directly. All outlets provide battery backup and surge protection. The 5-foot power cord offers flexibility in placement relative to wall outlets, and the unit does not require additional power strips for basic setups.
