What is a UPS?

A UPS is used to provide a backup power source to the parts of your computer needed to shut down correctly.

UPS devices ensure that the electricity flowing into your computer and its accessories is free from drops or surges, thus protecting your computer and preventing damage.

Back up your PC

This UPS has internal batteries to ensure continuous power is provided to the equipment even if the power source stops providing power.

Of course, the UPS can only provide power for a few minutes, which is often enough time to ride out power company glitches or short outages, and for you to shut down correctly.

Benefits of a UPS

• No mess, no maintenance, silent and uninterrupted.
• Automatically takes over when the power is cut. The UPS battery powers equipment while recharging from the electricity supply.
  Recharges automatically.
