The worst thing that can happen to you when you work on a computer is a power outage a few seconds before you finished working. Almost all your work has vanished, and you have to start again from nothing. Such tragic scenarios can be averted by the APC Back-UPS BE-850VA UPS. This is a battery reservoir that provides power for all appliances needing electricity. The APC Back-UPS BE-850VA backup power uses the Off-line design approach. Off-line is the most basic form because it switches to the internal battery for electric power when power fails.
A key attribute is the UPS run time during outages. This depends on the energy consumption – for example, at half-load (50%), the battery backup time will last a longer amount of time. The load of the backup source governs the operating time, which at full load (100%) is 2,3 min and at half-load, it's 9,8 min. It is therefore essential to calculate the power consumption of the connected appliances and it is a good idea to add some spare power left. The APC Back-UPS BE-850VA specifies the apparent power as 850, but realistically, the actual usage matches the value of 520 W.
