Power cut at 4pm on a Friday. Your workstation's still running, but the clock's ticking. The APC Back-UPS 1600VA/900W buys you time — one minute at full 900W load, six and a half minutes at half load. Four Australian outlets plug straight in. No adapter needed. The line-interactive topology with AVR corrects voltage sags before they become crashes. Transfer to battery happens in 6 milliseconds typical. You won't feel it. The battery is user-replaceable (APCRBC176) when the time comes. Sits on a desk or the floor. Not rack-mountable. Quiet at 40 dBA — you'll forget it's there until the power drops and it isn't
