he AmazonBasics 8-outlet
uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) supports up to a rated 360
watts of attached equipment,
which it can provide with enough battery
power to run a modest computer system


with a smaller monitor for about 3 to 10
minutes. This delay lets a computer shut
down automatically using built-in features
in the operating systems or software
provided for macOS and Windows if
electrical power isn’t restored fast enough.
