UPS rating compared to total VA or wattage output. In other words will it handle the load I have and how long will it run when I connect my equipment to it after an extended power loss?
• Degree of line conditioning Even if the manufacturers give a huge amount of dollar protection, believe me when I say it is better to not have a problem than to have to “try” and collect the monetary warranty from them! • Warranty and service policies. Some manufacturers do not warranty the equipment plugged into their devices if there is a surge protector plugged in between the ups and equipment or the wall and the ups! Always read the warranty when installing a new uninterruptible power supply. • Weight and Size • Guarantee Always check they fine print, and make sure to copy the receipt. If you have ever archived receipts after a few years then notice how they fade? If you cannot read the receipt then you may not be able to collect damages or get a warranty repair! Another note is to check they warranty for the Battery guarantee, if it fails during the warranty period, some manufacturers have been known to ship a new UPS instead of having to ship just the battery!
