People need to learn how to use this. Once this is connected to a power outlet that power outlet has to stay ON always because of the way the battery works: it trickle charging continuously topping up and discharging through cycles.
You can turn off the switch on the UPS when you are not using your connected peripherals but the outlet switch has to stay on always.
Now to speak about my experience: I am happy because it works as intended. Where I live if there’s a powercut the generators take 10-15 seconds to kick in. I mainly wanted to protect my ps5 and gaming monitor from the power surges that may happen in the intermittent stages of power going out and generators kicking in and then the main power coming back all in the span of a single minute. I don’t need it for power backup but testing indicates that this can support a ps5 and a gaming monitor for 15-20 minutes (on battery saver mode).
I have this UPS because of the way the power management is setup where I live but I would always recommend investing in a Sinewave Inverter.
