Hello,
Based on the information you provided, it may put the UPS at or near maximum capacity. Since the number of battery backup outlets is dependant upon the size of the UPS, I would recommend having a larger UPS for this type of job.

I read that the Back-UPS must be plugged directly into a wall outlet; not into a surge protector or a power strip and that void warranties, but i want to know if plugging a power strip into a UPS to increase your number of outlets (one outlet for router and switch), don´t damage the ups

Hello,
Again I'm going to reiterate what I stated earlier. Do not plug a surge protector into the UPS regardless of what side, as it's going to hinder the performance. If you are using a surge protector to achieve more outlets, we cannot guarantee performance on the UPS. As previously stated, the number of provided outlets is based on the size of the UPS. If you're going to plug all of this equipment into the battery side, you're only going to get 2-3 minutes tops of runtime anyways, so you'll need a larger unit to run on battery longer.

The point about the warranty was already made in a prior post. The information pertaining to the surge protector and not being used with the UPS is due to the VA Capacity. These things are designed with a set number of outlets to make sure that the user does not overload the UPS. If you need more plugs, chances are, you're going to need a larger UPS. I was also trying to make the point that the surge protector may hinder performance because it is NOT a power distribution unit. Therefore, it's receiving a step approximated sine wave (which if other people use a surge protector and a PC, it may just power off, who knows), the power is going to not be steady, nor is it evenly distributed.

Thanks for the fast response, but if I connect 2 devices (router and switch) into one outlet (battery poweded outlet) with a power strip, it causes some kind of problem or its can works fine
