I have a APC SUA1000UXI UPS at my home for my desktop computer. I have two external batteries connected to them each 65AH. I currently live in India and power cuts are very common to us.
The only items connected to the UPS are my monitor and my tower. My monitor is a 27" Acer and is rated at 40W power consumption. My tower has a 350W cooler master supply and is powered by an Intel Quad Core Q6600 processor. It also has 4 GB RAM and a 128GB SSD.
EDIT > I just put my config in the calculator located here - eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite, http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and it showed me that it recommended a PSU wattage of 182W.
Two questions :
1. How many hours should it take for the UPS to charge the batteries from a near dead or discharged state?
2. Also with the above setup, how many hours of battery life should I be expecting?
My backup times are abysmal. I'm getting less than an hour of backup.
Thanks
