It's super heavy, I think it has six of the 12V 9Ah battery modules you typically see in a 500VA UPS.

IIRC UPS usually provide 5 mins backup time at their rated load, so backup times should be something like:

2500W - 5 mins [max load]
200W - 62 mins (1h:02m) [moderate load i.e. light gaming including PC]
95W - 131 mins (2h:11m) [light load i.e. browsing including PC]
60W - 208 mins (3h:28m) [monitor off, PC almost idle just to run background tasks]
15W - 833 mins (13h:53m) [modem and access points only]

In practice the fiber modem by itself uses 7W or less. I saw a youtube video where a guy ran the modem for over 24 hours using a 40Ah car battery. He monitored actual energy use and it only drew 0.6A at 12V, consuming about 15Ah total over 24 hours so his 40Ah car battery will weather even a 48 hour blackout.

I promise it's a lot heavier than that. I measured it on a bathroom scale the weight is 22.6lbs, about 10.25kg. Baka copy-paste from a different model yung 5kg. That would be about right for a 1500VA unit.

Meron din ako nung replacement battery units for a UPS. A single battery unit is 4.2lbs or about 1.9kg. By weight that's five batteries inside assuming minimal increase for the electronics and casing. Not quite the six units I was initially thinking, but makes more sense since a single 650VA unit uses one standard UPS battery.

Here's a picture of the UPS with a single standard battery unit on top for scale:

Wow, 10 kilos. I thought I would just go to a pc express in a mall and walk out carrying one. Seems like kailangan ng trolley papunta sa parking lot.

Globe has new speeds for their plans. Ang gusto ko sa globe hindi naiiwan yung mga old subscribers, pati ako na upgrade from 100 mbps to 200 mbps.

Yup. Kakaupgrade ko lang to 200mbps 2 months ago then when I happened to check my account details last week gulat ako 350mbps na without any notification. Confirmed naman via speedtest.

Bad trip itong Royal cable, they came up with new plans which is 200/month cheaper with upgraded speed, free WiFi mesh and no installation fee. I wanted to migrate para at least makabawas ako sa monthly bill kahit wala ng freebies at nagbayad ako ng napakamahal na installation fee. Pwede naman but reset lock in for another 2 years, well, ok na rin sana, kaso gusto mag change plan fee pa ako ng 1000 kesos. The ultimate in greed.

since wala pang Fiber ang Globe sa amin.. max nang VDSL eh 50Mbps lang.. they can't upgrade it anymore.. so they downgraded my monthly.. from 1899 to 1299.. same speed 50Mbps..

Sa amin napilitan dahil sa nakawan ng copper cable, laki gastos nila pag ninakaw. Pag fiber daw hindi na pwede ibenta ng magnanakaw.

Walang buyer? Hindi recycle tulad ng copper?

Gusto ko sana ganyan lang mangyari sa plan ko nun.. Ako lang naman kasi gumagamit ng internet sa bahay.. Namamahalan ako sa plan ko na 1699, lalo na alam ko usage ko kahit may capped 50GB na naging 100GB hindi ko nama-max out yun before.. Aanhin ko ang unli at mabilis na speed, wala naman issue sa work kahit yung 5Mbps na super old internet speed..
Wala lang talaga ako choice, maganda ang customer service ng Globe sa area namin.. [emoji52]
