When i purchased computer the seller adviced me to purchase UPS as it is helpful when electricity goes off.Iam from Indian so there is 2-3 hours power cut and UPS helps me lot.When lights goes off my UPS work for 15 minutes and i save all documents on my computer.When i am in leisure and lights goes off i use this UPS to watch tv it work for 30 minutes and in nights when lights goes off i run small fan with it for 30 minutes.
It is helpful to me in many ways.Do you use UPS,How it is useful to you,How many hours your UPS work with your computer.

I'm not sure I know what that is. Here in America, we call UPS, United Postal Service.

I don't have UPS but I have battery operated fans that are rechargable just in case a summer storm knocks out the power. We don't have a lot of power outages here, thank goodness.

No, I don't use my UPS for other than computer works. I don't even wait for 15 minutes when light goes off.
All, I do is save my files and get rid of any open windows and then shut it down ASAP. I don't like promting beep from UPS once every 8 seconds. Hate that.

Hello my friend chimrani Ji,
Presently I am using Lap-top, which has built-in UPS. But at my house, I have my Desk
top which was provided with its own seperate UPS and our house has further an additional
back-up sustem "Invertor". I am mentioning both, as UPS is always seperated with other
normal things like TV/Fan/lights etc. AS UPS should be as close to Computer system as
it can be. I do not suggest same power for both. Check with your Installation ENgrr.
May God bless you and have a great time.

I dont use an UPS however i have heard of them and know a few friends that have them. In my area we dont have power problems or outages so the money would be wasted for me. However it is a must have if your power is constantly going out.
