[QUOTE="lockhrt999, post: 2522554, member: 41393"] This particular UPS was rated for micro and sensitive load. But what does that mean? It doesn't beep when the power is out. It's efficient for powering low load applications, making it last really long compared to normal UPS. Normal UPS usually doesn't last this long with smaller loads. It auto-starts after power is resumed. Not that it matters, but this is always online type UPS, so there's no switch over. Not much relay clicking sound. It's a plug and forget type UPS. My server setup is in a loft, plus I have run a cat5 cable upstairs carrying its AC to power more gadgets, upstairs. That's sweeeet. I did not find this model when I was searching for one. Google is indeed getting worse. Before getting my current micro load UPS, I was using a DC UPS to power 3 things. But, IMO, micro load AC UPS is a better option than DC UPS. DC UPS are good for those who have like only one router. Micro load AC UPS will power all of your current set of gadgets and any gadget you might end up buying in the future. And, being AC, you can have a cable running to the other end of your house powering a Wi-Fi extender. You can't do that with DC. I would think of getting that microtek again. [/QUOTE]
