Alx:
The lower power UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply)
units are made mostly for Standby mode,
as is the BE725BB. They are called Back-UPS.
APC also makes on-line units which they call Smart-UPS.
Your e-mail address seems to be out of the USA so I
called APC ( American Power Conversion)
at 1-800-800-4272 to confirm the above information.
If the battery is charged and there is no AC power
available, you can plug in your computer and turn on
the UPS. Then turn on your computer and run
it as long as the battery lasts. I modified an older
unit to work with a car battery and during a power
outage, ran my TV for more than 30 minutes to get the
latest news about the outage.
For those who are interested:
In stand-by mode, the line power is monitored as it
passes through the unit to your computer. When a failure
of power is detected, it switches to the battery
which is converted to AC power for your computer.
The switching is so fast your computer does not
shut down (reboot) during the momentary loss of power.
In on-line mode, the UPS accepts the AC power from the
line and converts it to the DC battery voltage. That voltage
from the battery is then converted to the AC power
supplied to your computer. The AC line power is not
supplied directly to your computer. The battery units can be
replaced or added without turning off the UPS or
your computer by just plugging them in. (Not all
units are designed to do this). If there
is a line failure the UPS will continue to supply
AC power to the computer until the batteries
can no longer supply the power for a good
AC output.
