Yeah it means you can start using it, but leave it charging for 16 hours. Actually it normally only takes a few hours since they often come with a partial charge, they just say that to cover thier butts. If the power goes out before its fully charged, you'll probably get some backup time. If not though, your computer will just turn off like it does normally in a power outage.
If it concerns you, dont plug computer into it until its fully charged. Of course then you'll still have the computer die when the power goes out
BTW, brown outs are much worse and more damaging than black outs. Lower voltage usually keeps stuff going, but it sure isn't happy when it does. Not as damaging as overvoltage, but still not healthy.
Unless you mean just brief blackouts. They have differant definitions.

Just picked up another one in Oakdale, MN for $38.33 out the door (used my 10% rewards coupon). Don't know what I'll use it for but couldn't pass it up.
They've got about 3 or 4 more on the shelf...

Quick question: is it better to use the USB port or serial port? or doesn't matter?

Mine's still hangin' tough. I finally got around to hooking up the USB cable but had either lost the software or it wasnt included in the box. I looked in the manual for the name of the software (it escapes me now) and then googled it. Found it on some other mfgr's (not dynex) website but with the same exact name of the software and downloaded it. Works like a champ. shows you estimated battery run time, watts drawn, battery capacity, etc.

Hey, I think I am (was) in the same boat with you. I cannot find the software
that came with this Dynex (if it really did). Could you please post/PM the link
for the one you downloaded. Thanks!

I should probably grab one of these to go along with my new system. Is the deal still good? Also, if the rebate is instant, do they change taxes on the $89 price tag or the $39 AR price tag?
