Anyone here in the UPS game?
Some silly questions maybe...
1. Am I correct in understanding that the VA rating has absolutely no bearing on the size of the battery and that it's really just the peak support power the device can handle upon switch over? Basically if I'm only going to connect 250W to the thing would it be stupid to buy a bigger UPS since I'm not going to get any more time out of it really?
2. Is there anything special about the USB cable? I need to do about 10m and there aren't a whole lot of those around. APC make it sound like theirs is somehow special but I call bullshit on that.
Thanks!
