Well, I now know my three UPS systems work!
We just had a one-hour outage here, and kept the recording machines going the whole time!

YAY!

1. Do they scream at you like APC units do?
I've always wondered how much battery power all that complaining uses.

2. Yeah, they beep.
Answer; Not much. You can make a beeper like that go for hours without eating a minute's computer runtime.

3. Ours only give us about 20 minutes, (according to the directions)
I've never tried to just leave the systems (cpu's & monitors)on I just turn them off. They (ups's) are really noisy.

4. I my case the systems are "in production"
So turning them off is the last thing I want to do!

5. Another outage!
Ten minutes this time...

Not a good day for the power company guys here.

Cold, rainy, windy.

They don't pay them enough for this.
