Which model is right for my desktop computer?

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

I am in a dilemma to select one of the following UPS configurations for my desktop computer (Total Load ~200Watts). Kindly let me know which is the best from cost, performance, protection, back-up time and value for money. I want to have back-up to my desktop computer (with 17" LCD monitor) for approx 1:30hrs only.

1. BR1000-IN + BR24BP
2. HI800SQ (I heard that this can also be used for computers apart from home appliances)

Kindly let me know if there is any other configuration that's better than the above. Kindly let me know which option is better from the above two.

Only the 1500VA Back-UPS, non-lcd are capable of using the Battery Pack.

Therefore, if the BR1500-IN is available, you can use that with the BR24BP.

If not, you'll have to purchase a Smart-UPS XL (either 750 or 1000), and an XL battery pack as well.

That type of runtime won't be available using just a Back-UPS without a battery pack, or a Smart-UPS without a battery pack.
