Hello Chuluunbaatar,

APC.com displays run time graphs on the product page for each model UPS.  If the product page does not display such a graph, click on the hyperlink next to "Extended Run Options" on the product page of your unit to calculate the run time based on your current load in watts and number of battery packs added.

To use this tool, you will need the specific model number of your UPS and must know your total watt draw.
