AmazonBasics 360-watt Standby UPS: You’ll find better value alternatives in this space
The AmazonBasics 8-outlet uninterruptible power supply (UPS) supports up to a rated 360 watts of attached equipment, which it can provide with enough battery power to run a modest computer system with a smaller monitor for about 3 to 10 minutes. This delay lets a computer shut down automatically using built-in features in the operating systems or software provided for macOS and Windows if electrical power isn’t restored fast enough.
This is a standby UPS that produces a simulated sine wave—the change in voltage from negative to positive and back in alternating current (AC) power—so it’s not recommended for most modern computer systems that use a power supply requiring a smoother or “pure” sine wave output from a UPS. Standby UPSes also have a short delay in cutting over from line power to
