*Actual power consumption as measured on sample products. 

 

A.  Average power consumption as measured on loads tested under regular operating 

conditions. Check your appliances/devices for actual manufacturer rating since it may vary 
from averages shown here.   

B.  **Run time as measured on tested loads. Run times will vary depending on actual 

equipment ratings. 

C.  The wattage listed in above chart is only for your reference, not very accurate; and the 

wattage is not start-up wattage, the start-up wattage will be far more than this and do not 
use the start-up power which total power exceeds the surge power of this unit (800W).

Battery recycling 

Your Backup Power System is designed to provide years of service. However, when the internal 
batteries reach the end of their service life, and if you choose not to have a qualified technician 
replace them, the Backup Power System itself is no longer of use.   
 
Because the internal batteries contain lead and can be hazardous if exposed to the 
environment, the batteries and the Backup Power System should be recycled or safely 
disposed of at your local recycling depot. Do not dispose of the batteries and the Backup Power 
System with common household waste. Please ask your local authorities about recycling 
services that are available in your area.
