Hey,
We have an APC UPS and I'd like to get a better understanding on how runtime is calculated.
I don't know jack shit about electricity but have recently been trying to learn more about voltage/amps/watts/ WHR/kWH.
I have been looking at the different formulas for getting total watts/WHR and logged into one of our UPS out of curiosity.
Here is what I see on our unit now. The runtime is pretty low:

We need to buy another UPS for a smaller site and I am trying to figure out the formula APC uses(hopefully using he number here in the status page) to determine runtime. The UPS we are replacing has the same GUI. We'd like to get at least 30 mins runtime.
Thanks
