What's the problem and/or what do the larger units do differently?
----------
Several/many years ago, I got a UPS when somebody on this list (I think)
pointed out that the APC units would tell you the line voltage. Mostly, I
wanted something to run a PC that monitors line voltage if/when it went out
so that worked out nicely.
I looked at the charts and did some quick calculations. The smaller units
don't have many watt-hours. I ended up getting a big unit in order to get
hours rather than minutes of holdover.
