I just have a couple of questions about the UPS devices you can get
for your computer.
How do you know how much power your computer and it's peripherals use?
And how do you know what it uses on average? How do you go about
calculating or measuring the typical power consumption of your system
so you have a better idea of what capacity UPS device you need?
I also wondered if it is possible to connect an external battery to a
UPS device in some way to boost the amount of back up time you have?
Do any of the devices on the market today allow external batteries to
be added? I think it would be quite useful if you could add a small
additional battery if your current UPS isn't giving you enough back up
time.
My system I would definitely want the computer and monitor as well as
the ADSL/Router to be permanently connected to the UPS. I would also
like the other device to be connected to like the printer and scanner
even though these are not as critical. Do most UPS device today give
you lots of different connection options e.g. computer power lead, 3
pin plug (uk) etc? As far as my ADSL/router is concerned I would never
want the power to go out on that, I would always want it to be
powered.
Cheers for your advice.
