I'm curious about how long a typical "consumer" UPS can run on battery before it fails. What would the maximum run time be and what limits it. Never know when you'll need it for longer than a few minutes. If I were in the middle of editing media I would want as much time as I can get to get to a decent save point before shutting down. Same for games.
What Carlos wrote, but note I've bought a lot of these over a lot of years. Every one came in a box and/or with a manual with the information to answer jdebert's question. Just remember performance does not improve as the batteries age. Once batteries are 2 years old, maybe sooner, you should be routinely running the unit's self check to ensure you won't suffer disappointment when the power does go out.
I have openSUSE 13.1 (fully patched and up to date) installed on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I'm running KDE 4.14.3 as I prefer it to the other desktops. I've just plugged a brand new, fully charged 12v car battery into a free USB port on the laptop, and now it won't boot. What do you guys recommend? Should I upgrade to oS 13.2? If so, how? The USB port looks a bit frazzled.
