Tecnoware Power Systems - 12V 9Ah Sealed Lead-Acid Battery, for UPS, Video Surveillance and Alarm Systems, Faston Connection 2.5 Inch, Long Lasting, Maintenance-Free, Black, 9 Ah

Great little UPS unit for those who want 'simplicity' in set up and operation and which provides more than enough time for a controlled shut down of your PC (or whatever). The well-packaged UPS unit received the day after ordering. The smart black UPS unit is well constructed (both inside and out) and not very heavy. Needs to sit on a hard floor or board or desk (not carpet). Just plug the UPS into the mains, press the button to get a green light and leave to charge for 4 hours. Then plug your computer/screen into the the 2 sockets on the back of the UPS and that's it, done! I tested the UPS by simulating a power cut and the UPS operated my PC/large screen for 15 minutes before rapid bleeping from the UPS indicated the battery was running out, so I reinstated the mains power. No problems with the UPS during switchover. Suggest downloading the full Users Manual from the web as the brief Quick Guide provided is too brief! Tried to register Guarantee on Technoware website but failed, but I'm not too bothered as it's well made.

This is a review for the mini ups. Works as described however if you are in the UK be aware this comes with a European two pin plug.

Should be plug and play, it wasn't. The first issue was that it does not come with a power cable?? Thankfully the APC UPS this is replacing fitted fine. On powering it up, the filtered outlets worked, but the battery ones did not. My Mac did recognised the UPS when the USB port was connected. When I tried registering the product to get support, it became clear this was an Italian product and the level of English language support was going to be poor. I managed to register ok and download the manual & software. The manual was ok, but did not address my problem in the trouble shooting section, or anywhere else that I could find. A QR code to the PDF would have been nice instead of making me search for it on the website. The software is truly awful - my USP wasn't working and it was unable to assist me in any trouble shooting. The software is called ViewPower, screenshot of the GUI attached.... I tried to raise a support ticket (RMA), they clearly haven't tested the forms with non-Italian speaking users. I managed to get through after a few tries, but each time there was an error, the pop-up window was in Italian. I use Deepl for translations, so all good I thought - well it was until the last three word error pop-up "Incongruneza tipoloigie garanzia". Deepl couldn't translate it and even ChatGPT returned "appears to be a combination of words that do not form a coherent sentence in Italian, English, or any other language that I'm aware of. It seems to be a jumble of unrelated terms."! So I couldn't raise a ticket for help. There was not telephone support alternative. The warranty is not 5 years, the battery is only 12 months unless you pay a premium to extend it. Also the display was annoyingly blurred for some reason. I wasted nearly 2 hours trying to install and troubleshoot this product, but thankfully Amazon made it easy to return.

The unit appears well made and was simple to set-up. No mains power lead is supplied (there is a reliance on you re-using one of the IEC cables you previously have in your set-up). Two interconnect cables are provided which is useful, however I needed to buy two more cables independently as there are 4 UPS outlets. The kit (when first installed) takes around 4 hours to reach 100% battery power and is silent in operation. If the power goes down then the battery kicks in pretty much instantaneously and it is only then when you get a significant increase in noise and a beeping sound to inform that the UPS is in operation (which can be silenced). I connected my UPS via USB to my computer and I can see power usage and set up various functions such as whether I want my computer to safely shut down in the event of loss of power. Instructions to use this software are average but workable. Registering is a nightmare and I've not managed to do it as the website is a mix of Italian and English and some options simply don't appear to work, feels a bit unfinished. In summary, good looking and slim device (but weighs about 10kg), quiet in normal operation. In tests it worked effectively and apparently it will give me around 20 minutes of backup power in the event of an issue (I have a hefty gaming PC, External SSD Drive, External HDD drive and a NAS server all connected up). So, good purchase for the money and worth it for piece of mind that power interruptions will be less likely to destroy my PC or data.

Got this on a black Friday deal. Its incredible value for money. Using the supplied USB cable I have it plugged into my Home Assistant server. I am able to power my: Starlink system 5G Backup Router Deco X10 Mesh 6 Home assistant server (PC) NAS 2-Drive Server Backup Bulb (Which comes on automatically when power fails so we aren't sitting in the dark) All of these use around 10% of the load capacity! I should get over an hour! The design is simple. Only fault I have found so far is the driver it uses (blazer) to speak to HA doesn't have a beeper switch, so it beeps at intervals while active and this cannot be disarmed. Not the end of the world! Fits beautifully behind my couch. Completely silent. Polls HA about every 30 seconds though switch over is instant. Able to send text alerts to my phone with a little alarm when it activates. Great bit of kit. Thoroughly recommend for the price.

Bonne batterie

Avevo bisogno di una nuova batteria per il mio UPS e ho scelto questa Tecnoware da 12V – 5Ah. Devo dire che mi ha davvero convinto: è compatibile con la maggior parte degli UPS, ha l’attacco Faston 6.3 mm e sembra molto solida. È realizzata in piombo sigillato, quindi niente manutenzione, e ha anche un sistema di protezione integrato contro sovraccarichi e cortocircuiti. Perfetta per casa o per una piccola attività. In sintesi: ottimo prodotto, affidabile e con un buon prezzo. La consiglio a chi cerca una batteria sicura e duratura.

En remplacement d'une batterie d'onduleur APC (hors service après 3 ans et demi). Convient parfaitement, branchée et c'est reparti, de plus prix tout à fait attractif.
