What's the UPS that you are using?

[Anusha]

My PowerTree S600B is dieing (can't keep the PC running for more than 2 minutes) and I need a new one. I just want to know what you are using, what capacity, how long it can hold the PC on, price and more importantly, where to buy one. There aren't that many reviews on UPS' because people in developed countries hardly get a power failure unlike here. So this time, I can't rely upon the reviews. I need your feedback.

PowerTree S1200P ( simply its mean 1.2KVA ) it has two 7.5Amps batterys and Two Inverter Transformers. It can hold up to 20 mins I think.

Except for battery backup other features r in my PSU so I dont use one.

Pasan ur UPS can hold ur PC for about 35 mins max to the details I knw about ur PC.
eg:-
I P4 3.4 with HT 2MB
Intel mobo
2GB DDR 400
nVidia GF 5850 256 MB GPU[It is actually a large one costs two PCIs fancy drawings,coolers backside heatsinks}
120 EIDE 7200rpm+200 SATA 7200 rpm
17' philips

In 3DS MAX rendering pasans'UPS hold up for about slightly>15 mins.

That's good to know. But I don't trust PowerTree. I need a much more reputed brand.

I'm using PowerTree S650BX. It holds abt 20mins when power cut...
It was only Rs3500. I think it is a good choice...

 

[GNS]

My Vendor said Mercury & PowerTree are same in Quality & Back-up time.
He uses a PowerTree one. So I forced to buy a PowerTree one.
Because He doesn't use hardware carelessly...

I know Mercury brand is crap! I didn't say I was looking for a Mercury branded UPS.

Does anyone here use a Patriot Viper UPS. I'd like to hear some feedback on them.

[Anusha]

I don't care about the switching time if it doesn't reset the PC.
Anyway, I'll research more about APC ones.

 

[GNS]

Switching time it the time which takes the UPS ti switch from offline to online mode and vise versa.
7000 bucks = Rs.7,000/=

Where did you buy it from? Quantum Teleshopping da?
Don't they have larger capacity ones. 300W is a bit too low (on efficiency).

Yes i brought it from Quantum Teleshopping...

And yes they have a larger capacity one called Viper Patriot which cost around Rs 7,500.00, but for me this is enough...
