Question 1

What size PowerShield UPS do I need?

Accepted Answer

Calculate the total power draw (in watts) of all connected equipment. Choose a PowerShield UPS with a watt rating at least 20-30% higher than your total load to allow for power spikes and future expansion.

Question 2

How long will a PowerShield UPS run during a power outage?

Accepted Answer

Runtime depends on the UPS capacity and connected load. Typically, a properly sized UPS provides 5-15 minutes of backup power—enough time to save work and safely shut down equipment or switch to generator power.

Question 3

Does Comsys stock replacement batteries for PowerShield UPS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we stock genuine replacement batteries for most PowerShield UPS models. These are easy to install and restore your UPS to full capacity when the original battery reaches end-of-life (typically 3-5 years).

Question 4

Are PowerShield UPS systems compatible with generators?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most PowerShield UPS systems work with generators. The UPS helps filter the sometimes unstable power from generators, providing clean power to your sensitive equipment during extended outages.

Question 5

Can I connect my NAS or server to a PowerShield UPS?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. PowerShield offers models specifically designed for servers and network equipment. Many include USB or serial connections for automatic shutdown of connected systems during extended power outages.
