Amazon Basics UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector

This standby uninterruptible power supply provides reliable backup power for essential gear in your home or small office. With up to 800VA / 450W of reserve, it helps keep important devices online during brief outages and protects them from power surges.

Runtime varies by how much you load on the system. At about half load (roughly 400VA/225W), you can expect around 12 minutes of backup power, while at full load (800VA/450W), backup time drops to approximately 2 minutes. Use this to plan graceful shutdowns for devices such as routers, streaming boxes, gaming consoles, and smart home hubs.
