    You an plug it in 24/7. Power it down only when you would leave your PC unattented for a long period of time. If your PC acts as server, power it down only for maintenance.

    If its a small personal one, you could turn it off just like an AVR. AVR used for industrial or commercial purposes are usually not turned off.

    I would recommend plugging it in 24/7 as it has a battery inside.

    Even if it's plugged-in, the power consumption is very minimal as it only trickle-charges the battery, so no overcharging.

    do note though na madidiskarga ung battery while the UPS is off, so you might not have much backup power left when you do experience a power outage

    another reason to maintain it 24/7 e para iwas power surge kasi minsan nasisira din yung PC kahit naka-off pero nakasaksak naman dahil sa power surge...

    what you can do is leave it 24/7 pag nakasaksak o kaya pag in-off mo na yung UPS, tanggalin mo na rin sa saksak...
