I have a PC UPS that I've connected to my return pump in case the power goes off and I am not home. Brand: APC Back-UPS CS 650 I van get the serial number if needed.
The UPS output is 650VA: 220-240V~, 3A, 50-60Hz, 400W.
The pump is only 40W and is the only thing connected to the UPS.
I would've thought that this should be fine for about 2-4 hours of operation, given the small consumption of the pump.
As it is, I only get about 35-40 minutes on a fully charged UPS. I've heard of people getting about 2-4 hours on a similar consumption on UPS's.
Anyone with ideas or experience in this regard that can assist please? I'm not at home during the day and it seems the power outages last between 2 - 3 hours.
