UPS battery lengths?
I'm new to all of this, so any help would be much appreciated!! I just installed my first UPS battery backup (APC BE550G Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V). FrontView is showing all systems green on ...
I believe it's the amount of time the UPS will power the NAS alone. Since mine (BackUPS ES-700uk) has a 42 minutes displayed in frontview but generally only lasts on average about 5 minutes after an outage/test with the main PC (800w PSU) and monitor also connected to the battery backup side. Although I ccould be wrong. The only way to be sure is to do a test, and if you have a Windows PC connected, install WinNUT and have it shut down / hibernate after a set time.
