What you probably want is a Smart-UPS with the extended runtime (XL) option and a few battery boxes.

If this is a laser printer, it's worth considering that the inrush current may exceed the inverter's capabilities in even a fairly large UPS.

There are some Back-UPS products with limited extended runtime capability. You would have to be sure that your printer is OK with modified sine wave power if you chose a Back-UPS model.

Hi Jitu,

If you navigate to apc.com and select your Country

Then navigate to:

Support > Resources & tools > Tools & selectors

Then select “UPS Selector”

If you enter the expected load the tool will recommend a solution.
