What stuff did you power with that setup and how long did it take for ups to run out of juice? I need 1hour of power at least. 1 to 1 and a half.

Main thing is UPS. If its not efficient and let say its rated Wattage is way over your setup, then efficiency will decline.

Backup depends on the batteries. Just keep adding them until your desired time is achieved. Don't go over 155A for each battery as maintaining them and handling them will get extremely hard.

Two 155Ampere minimum for gaming. One is fine if you are browsing and watching movies. That if only PC is connected to ups and not speakers, monitor etc.

1 hour backup only if fully charged.

Why is everybody suddenly recommending Homage and Inverex for Computers and sensitive electronics?

Aren't Homage and Inverex offline UPS?

Whereas XPERT and APC are online UPS, which run on the battery the whole time, while charging it when there is power.

Don't the Offline UPS have a problem when they turn on/changeover to battery power? Like a fluctuation? Do they need a servo stabilizer in between?
