im guessing you just got a light bulb? :) I have it because in hurricane season I dont want to have to worry about my tank. I could hook it up to my koralia....which runs 6 watts.....and be even better off. :)

well see i have seen these on computers and the thing was is that when you have them hooked up to a copm you only get like 12min out of them.......but computers use alot more energy

i used to install APC brand ups's on cash registers when i was in the petroleum field and they were pretty much bullet proof ......very large {size a a desktop tower} and would run 2 consoles and a PC for about an hour - - -so yeah a maxijet would run for a week or so on it .....lol.............bout 400 bucks a unit

I paid 180 for my 1500 VA, which im no math matician.....but im sure it would run that for quite a while....Estimated time is 98 minutes.......but thats as high as the lcd goes on my ups....I hooked up the whole system and it estimated that it could run for 40 minutes. Which is still damn good. :)Thats skimmer return pump koralias and LIGHTS. damn son. :)

if the koralia was running at 6 watts an hour......my ups would be able to run it for 6.25 days. 1500VA is actually about 900 watts stored......divided by 6 watts is 151 hours divide that into 24 hours in a day...its 6.3 days.....:) I can go a week without power if absolutly needed.
