The Champion 800vA UPS made by Aar-em Electronics Pvt. Ltd. based on Pune,looks quite decent and promising.

How much reliable and safe bet is it for a purchase?

Go with CyberPower 1000VA UPS @ 3600 local price which is much better than any other UPS other than APC which is best regarding any UPS but is costly because of it brand value.

I also have not heard of it.Unless there is a very compelling reason(some big discount/warranty offer etc) i don't see any reason to prefer it over known brands like intex,microtek,luminous etc.

Actually I got swayed away by the 800vA and 12V 9A battery.

Will Intex 600vA be a better buy,Friend?

actual wattage of a ups is ~60% of VA rating.600va is 360w & 800va is 480w but some models have even lower values so read specifications(these figures of 60% are usually true for brands like apc).get the brand which has the best after sales support in your area as cheaper brands like intex,luminous,microtek etc all have similar quality.

CyberPower 1000VA UPS costs 3.6k

Champion UPS does not have surge protection built into the UPS where as APC & CyberPower has such surge protection in their UPS's.
