hellow everyone,

I am having trouble with my UPS backup. my UPS is not giving me back up for more than 8 - 10 minutes.

I use a 2 battery UPS "maercury" brand. I added 2 new battery few days ago. they are Both Diamac Brand 7.5 amperes (7.5 +7.5 = 15 amperes). My earlier battery was not giving me support more than 5 minutes. Those were 6 months old battery and at that time my UPS brand was APC. because of my low power back up i changed both the APC Smart Ups and the Battery. My current 'Marcury" UPS is second hand and in good condition as far as i know (tested on other computers) and it has Two transformer inside it. I added new battery there. But Still I don't get power Backup more than 10 minutes. As far as i know, this UPS was supposed to give at least 40 Minutes backup easily.

My Pc configuration is as follows. ( I recently added the new Thermaltake Power supply )

Mother board: Gigabyte - H81M-S2PV
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz
RAM: Twinmos 8GB DDR 3
HDD 1 : 320 GB Hitachi
HDD 2 : 3 TB Toshiba
GPU: 9600 GT XFX
PSU: Thermaltake 630Watt Model : SPS-630M (SMART SE 630W W/Active PFC)
My monitor is LG 19.5" model flatron W2043C

I also Use a TP-Link Wifi double antena Router by UPS.


Can You please suggest me the solution of my problem..
Will i have to purchase a new ONLINE UPS to Get backup like 1 hour. or there is other solution.
As far as i know with this configuration and UPS i was supposed to get at least 40 Minutes backup easily.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Hi
Need to know what is plugged into the UPS.
15AH of batteries in good condition should give you 1 hour of backup only if you have 150W of load in total.
I would guess your PC wattage at about the 250W mark and your monitor at the 100W mark giving 350 W so you are looking at about 25 minutes or so ,could be a bit less depending on the voltage cut off of the UPS.

It will depend upon the power of your UPS it can take and provide the system. I think you have to purchase new UPS with enhaced power back up.
