I believe its due to battery falling down. Check with Asus. For your system atleast say 7-12 minutes of backup should be there. It depends on your monitor as well. so may be low based on its consumption.

Looks like battery of your UPS is almost dead. Change the battery.

How old is your ups???

If its under warranty contact apc tech support.They will replace faulty one with new unit.

600va can handle maximum 350w, your config looks like it goes beyond the capability of your ups.

So does that means 30 sec back up is normal ?

^^ nope. should get 5min backup as UPS powering only the cpu mainly.

his system won't need more than 50W of power. so considering efficiency of PSU total power draw won't exceed 100W. faulty UPS/battery.

contact APC. a member here, Faun got his UPS replaced/repaired cause of low backup recently.

That reply was for AJX. He has a gaming config, so his ups can't handle the load.

what backup were you getting earlier, like in the first 2 months of your ups purchase?
