@ d3p5kor
First of all thanks for commenting

the budget is between 7- 15 k.

Just wondering if APC 1kV over the current one will do the trick or should we go for like 1.5 or more Kv one.

Expecting ur views

Thats what i have asked earlier.

How much time of backup do you really required ??

If you notice in the previous snapshot, i have mentioned a load of 600w & the backup time for 1.1KVA was somewhere near to 6 mins.

Now IMO 6 mins is pretty ok to save the game & exit to windows & safely turn off the PC completely.

So APC 1.1KVA will do the job at ease, but if want to spend more money then do this.

Get a APC BR1500VA for 9k & get another battery pack from APC [it was less than 6k].

I don't remember the battery pack model number, but few months back it was listed under APC india Site.

Better to get in touch with APC & get a good solution in this case.
