The UPS Powertech 1150VA is aimed at users who wish to protect their electronic devices from power outages or other voltage fluctuations that can cause damage. It is suitable for use with home computers, network systems, and other small electronic devices that operate on 220-240V AC power. This UPS offers Line-Interactive functionality, meaning it detects voltage fluctuations and adjusts the UPS output power accordingly to ensure the stability of the power supplied to your devices.
Uninterruptible Power Supply System
Why do you need a UPS system?
Even short power outages can lead to data loss or potential hardware damage. A UPS system provides battery backup power to keep your devices running during short outages and provides enough runtime to properly shut down electronic systems during extended outages.
Features:
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) technology for smooth voltage supply
Automatic restart upon power restoration
Simulated sine wave
Cold start function
Off-mode charging
Microprocessor control guarantees high reliability
Equipped with boost and buck AVR for input voltage stabilization
Overvoltage/undervoltage, short circuit, and overload protection

Quiet, 2 classic sockets.
Nice construction.
I have connected a TV, Cosmote router, and PS4.
The area has many power surges and momentary power outages.
For the past 3 months, it has protected them perfectly.
I haven't tested how long it can keep them on power, but you can easily turn them off safely. Also, the consumption of the devices plays a role in how long the battery will last...
I connected the fiber box on top to have internet since the router gets from mini. ups. I took it out of the socket for testing and it lasted 7 minutes new for a week. consumption is 12v 0.5 A 6watt. I expected it to last at least 5 hours. unacceptable. wasted money.
4 stars because it doesn't have a display
I've had it for a year.
The unknown information I learned when I read the manual is that it can handle a load of about 1/3 to 1/2 of its rated power, which resulted in me unknowingly experiencing issues during some power outages while it handled others, leading me to believe it was problematic - unreliable. One day I thought about it and downloaded a mini program that measures the WATTS at any given moment, and I saw that it was exceeding the limit by a few watts, and during those times, the power would also drop.
So yes, it does its job, but not for my use.
The minus star is for the lack of a display - information.
In general, make a good calculation of the total watts you will be using and get larger power supplies rather than close to the watts you have calculated because, especially for gamers, there are noticeable fluctuations in consumption.
The consumption measurement programs I mention are MSI Afterburner, but find it exclusively from the guru3d website

UNACCEPTABLE and the dealership even more so. 1150VA, 7.5Ah and a 70W device with 2.5A didn't last even 30 minutes.
I contacted the dealership and they don't allow you to speak directly with a technician. A staff member answers who asks the technicians. The response?? Well, 30 minutes is just fine, UPS are meant to give you time to shut down the device!!
It is the ideal solution for uninterrupted power supply to small devices. I use it for the operation of the router and I am at ease because I always have internet and phone during power outages.
Unfortunately, it is not what I expected. If the power goes out, it only holds for a few seconds. I only have it to keep the output voltage stable on the modem-router and alarm system.
I got it to deal with short power outages and voltage drops. Easily 5 stars as when such unexpected events happen you continue your work as if nothing has happened. Ideal for me.
Within three months, with the first power outage, both immediately turned off. After speaking to the supplier who responded immediately to my needs he gave me directions on how to activate the ups by pressing the button down for longer than three seconds before plugging it in (i did not know that since upon purchasing i plugged it in and it worked with the first power outage and lasted) now i will have to pay attention to press the power button to activate the ups in future
I have had it for 2 weeks on a PC (~350w), 3 monitors, networking devices, and a sound amplifier. All together they consume about half a kilowatt.
I have connected an external 22Ah lead-acid battery in parallel with the internal one, giving me about 45 minutes of autonomy in case of a power outage with the PC idle and the monitors on standby.
With the internal battery alone, it only lasts about 7-8 minutes.
BUT BE CAREFUL: if you want to add extra batteries, make sure they are sealed because flooded ones have slightly different operating voltage and may be damaged over time. Mod at your own risk.
When everything is under full load, the top part gets a little warm and smells slightly like plastic even after all these days, but luckily the room is well-ventilated (it also warms my feet).
It cools passively with vents on the sides since there is no internal fan.
Also, when it is in backup mode, the transformer can be heard slightly in absolute silence.
It has never complained about overload as my power factor is very close to 1.
For its price, I recommend it because it is very difficult to find 690w at this price.
I will update in the future for any changes.
Update: the plastic smell has completely disappeared and now I can sleep with it next to my head.
It says 690w but it can't even handle 300w. I have a gaming desktop with a 550w power supply and during a game with a load of 350w, when there was a power outage, it shut down immediately and so did the computer. This is an unacceptable product, stay away from it. You would think you have protection from the surge, but this will burn your computer. Stay away, get something better.
I have it for a while, maybe 2 months if I remember correctly.. At first, it smelled like plastic. I had it on the balcony for 2 days and it was fine. Now it's fine, it lasted through all the power outages and tests.
I have it connected exclusively to a desktop computer and monitor, I cut off the power for 5 minutes to see how long it lasts and it didn't go off (the computer was idle, so presumably if it was under heavy load, the runtime would be significantly reduced). I didn't notice any plastic smell, nor does it make any noise, it's fine.
The best at the most affordable price.
I have connected it to a 550-watt desktop gaming power supply and a 24-inch monitor at 144 hertz, and after 5 months of use, it responds perfectly to voltage drops and 3 power outages, very satisfied. For 3 weeks, it had a plastic smell that disappeared after heating up. Today, on Feb 16th, I bought a second one and I am 100% satisfied, so I also bought one for my second computer. I have had it plugged in for an hour and so far, no plastic smell has come out, we'll see... On Feb 17th, after 24 hours of operation, there is no smell, so this batch is OK.
I bought it for a PC that consumes ~600 watts. With the PC at full load, it immediately complains about overload. If the power goes out while it's at full load, it shuts down without warning (it doesn't do its job). It works fine at lower loads. I use it as a voltage stabilizer and as a UPS for 3D printers. For its price... it's okay
I have a PS4 and a 55-inch TV. I've had them for months without any issues, but yesterday the power went out. The PS4 made a loud noise to alert me, and within minutes I shut everything down. It all shut down smoothly and quickly.
I have it on a c2 and ps5 and the only thing I have noticed is that when the TV has the entire screen in yellow color, the UPS gives an error for 1-2 seconds, I don't know if it's because of HDR drawing more power. It hasn't been necessary for me yet as I haven't had any power outages.
I just received this product and I have no opinion on its quality or durability over time. I ordered it to connect a pellet stove, as the power frequently goes out on the island where I live and in this particular house. It takes about half an hour to reset the power and then reopen the stove. During the first test, I intentionally cut the power to see if it would keep the stove open, and it did. I don't know if it will last because I didn't buy it for that purpose. In any case, I will come back in the future if anything changes.
I have already bought about 5 and they all work properly. Their usefulness is to supply whatever is necessary to prevent data loss and to shut down the device normally. They are not generators, so even 1-2 minutes is enough (depending on the load your system requires, it may be up to 10 minutes). They look well-made and are somewhat heavy due to the batteries they have. They may be a bit bulky, but they do what they are supposed to do. They have a high tone (quite loud) that repeats when there is a power outage, which is good in case you don't notice it. Now, as for how long they will last, I don't know, but I bought the first three a year ago and they have had no problems so far.
Overall, I think they are at a fairly good price. I bought them for around €49-53 (1150VA 690W). It's good to distribute the loads as much as possible even if you use a power strip in the two outlets it has (within reasonable limits. You also need to see if it can handle everything you plug in).
The windows have been open for 3 days and there is still a suffocating smell coming from the plastic, logically it must be warm in the back even when it's on standby. When the power went out, it lasted for 1 minute and the UPS kept the power on for my 24-inch screen that burns 25 watts. I will update you later.
2. So, the UPS still emits that smell after 5 months. It's good because it saved me from many power outages and provides clean power. But it's not suitable for a space where people are nearby. So, I placed it in the warehouse after making a hole in the wall for the cable to pass through. Finally, I breathed clean air!
Simple UPS for office use. I don't know how long the battery will last over time or if it's easy to replace, but for the money, it's great. No screens or anything like that.
I have it for three days, it seems to work well.
I will come back when I have worked with it for a while.
Has anyone measured how much power it consumes in standby mode?
Of course, with the devices that are connected on top being turned off.
Usually, unfortunately, UPS devices consume a lot of power in standby mode, that's why I'm asking.
Thank you.
