I want a backup power supply to keep my security system running so nobody tries to use a power failure as an opportunity. I also want to be able to access the system remotely during the outage. But what is the run time for a backup battery power supply last? This CP1500AVRLCD UPS is by Cyberpower and has a capacity of 1500 Volt Amps / 900 Watts. I purchased it on Amazon for $110 US on a Black Friday deal and got free shipping on this 25-pound unit. I cover several security camera configuration scenarios and see how long this backup power supply will last in each. I have measured the wattage requirements of each device beforehand to help understand the relationship between the power demands and total battery time. In the 10 scenarios I measure the total wattage used and how long the battery last in each. The UPS lasts much longer than expected, even with a monitor attached. Given the UPS wattage, power factor and various other specs, I was able to create a formula to give a good estimate of the runtime. Make sure to check it out.
